OK Tablets Computers and Tablets

This is for the Coby Kyros 8125 4G 8 Inch Tablet for $158. It's a pretty good tablet for the money, with lots of stuff available through the AppLib Marketplace and GetJar. You can hack it to gain access to Andriod Market, but it's probably easier to just go to Andriod Market on the web, which is more up-to-date anyway. The problem is that most Andriod Mark apps want to verify what phone you have and won't load without a valid device, so it's not that good at the moment. NetFlx won't work with it if you can't find a Netflx 1.2 APK to install (and after you do it will keep telling you to update, say OK, but then press the back arrow to continue netflx to use ). I think Netflix and YouTube videos are better adapted to 7"/iPod displays, so many videos are a bit distorted. If I had realized that Netflix was available for the Barns and Noble Nook and that the Nook's price had dropped to that of the Kindle, I would have endured it. I prefer the Nook/Coby to the Kindle as you can read anything electronic rather than relying on the Kindle Mobi format. pay extra for Nook now.
