Windows 7: New toy

Just got my new Coby Kyros MID7015 Internet Tablet from Dell today. It's the cheap mans iPad...LOLOLOL. Not too bad if I do say so my self. They had them on sale for $169.99 and free shipping.



I'm typing this post with it right now. I'll post a pic shortly.

I got it from Dell but here is the official site of my Tablet => COBY - Kyros™ Internet Touchscreen Tablet

Hi, dobhar!

Nice! Have you tried the iPad? If so, how does it compare? Can you install 3rd party apps on the Kyros? What is the base OS?

Sorry for all the question, dobhar, just curious.

Can you buy Apple stickers for it?

Does it play Flash?

I've got a few extras if he wants them ... free.

Sorry for taking so long to reply all...have been quite busy at work and watching sports (Football (go Packers go) and Curling).
No problem mikedl...(1) Yep, I have played with the iPad and if I had an extra $800 bucks I might have bought one...too many other things need my money...LOLOL The Coby, as I said a poor man's iPad, is similar to the iPad as it's a touch screen and you have apps (answers your question #2) to start with then you can also install 3rd party apps from Google. I "rooted" (Rooting is the process of gaining root access to Android. Android is based on the Linux operating system. Root access is superuser permissions (SU), much like an Administrator in Windows.) it so I can do much more (3) Android

Hmmmm...not sure, it does not say on the info page. I will have to surf to a page that has flash and try it...I have a flash game on a page that I will try.
I got a few myself from my iTouch's so maybe I'll add a couple...LOLOL

They have it at Barnes and Noble for $149.95 now: Coby Kyros MID7015-4G 7" Tablet Computer - TTC8902 800 MHz, Coby Electronics - Barnes & Noble

I'm sure the price might drop some more as it was EOL (End of Life) at Dell. It was $159.99 at Tigerdirect.ca on Thursday but now I can't even find it now.

Hope you enjoy it and it provides you with the things you want to do with it. Keep us up to date on how things are progressing.
Thanks Fabe
