Coby has done there homework. They have been around since 1990 and are not a fly by night corporation. This tablet is very responsive,
no lags whatsoever. Aside from not including the Android Marketplace (now known as Google Play) you can download Amazon App Store
application from Amazon.com, it has all the hot apps you would need. The GetJar simply shows you FREE apps, they change every week so
its a good place for free apps, but not all of them are something you'd want.
You may have issues finding Adobe Flash, but searching Google you can find links where to get Adobe Flash 11.1 APK file, and after that
your all set, I would recommend downloading this first, after its installed, turn off the tablet and back on again. So far played Angry
Birds, a blast on a larger screen. No issues unlike my Samsung Galaxy S phone, this thing hasnt crashed yet, works flawlessly, has a
beautiful vibrant screen and way better then a...

My first tablet,
April 7, 2012 This review is from: Coby Kyros 9.7-Inch Android 4.0 8 GB Internet Tablet 4:3 Capacitive Multi-Touchscreen with Built-In Camera, Black MID9742-8 (Personal Computers)
I didn't want to pay twice as much for Apple tablet so I purchased this tablet and I've had it about a week now and love it. I have my main desk PC for word documents and printing. after burning out my laptop and don't want to carry the weight around when I travel. I'm lucky enough to have wifi at work and home so I don"t need an additional internet source. The keyboard works better for my fat fingers than using my android cellphone. I've been pulling up apps and bookmarking my favorite websites all week to make it easier for me. The only disadvantage I'm having is when I'm on my home email site I can't touch and open the emails without the keyboard popping up and getting in the way. I'll have to find a solution for that. I do have limited knowledge on all the tablets out there in the market. I've only just oberve the galaxy, I pad and one other brand from co-workers.

Great Product - Some Tinkering.,
April 24, 2012 I love this device, now that I have everything working the way I need it. Looks great, love the size, and it is quick.
I had 2 cons which I have reversed with work-arounds.
1) No Google Play - Use amazon app store instead
2) Skype did not work with the latest verson - use version skype_v2.5.4.162.apk Works fine
Currently the working version of Flash is com.adobe.flashplayer_111115007.apk
All of these apps can be installed without Google Play. Just google the versions I have listed here and you can find them.
I was able to find everything else I wanted on Amazon App Store. Netflix runs fine. Device has not crashed once.
I also use it for Wireless Site planning and RF interference detection which the small size works great for. I was previously using my phone but the battery would run down in an hour. I can use this for hours with constant use and it still has life left.
This is a great device for...
