Coby Kyros MID7024 Android Tablet |
Coby’s latest device is the Kyros MID7024. This tablet is powered by a 1GHz Samsung S5PV210 ARM Cortex A8 processor and has 512MB RAM, the Google Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and a 7-inch resistive touchscreen display with a 800 x 480 screen resolution.
Sound good? Well here are some other specs: You also get Wi-Fi, a front-facing camera, an HDMI output, a microSD memory card slot and 4GB of internal flash memory. What do you think? Is this tablet for you?










I am not sure why so many of the recalls in the electronics industry are the faulty of defective batteries. You would think when all of those laptops were recalled over bad batteries the industry would have learned its lesson. Apparently not, Coby Electronics recalled over 19,000 portable DVD players today due to a fire hazard from faulty battery packs.
Coby’s MP600 Video MP3 Player takes some obvious inspiration from the iPod Nano. It features a 1.44″ LCD screen that will play back all of your MTV video files, JPG photos, read text files as well as MP3 and WMA files. You’ll also get FM radio. 
Plain old radio is hurting a bit of late with stiff competition from satellite radio and digital tracks that are replacing normal radio in cars for many drivers. To try and get back some of the defecting radio listeners HD Radio launched with promises of higher audio quality at a price everyone will like—free.
Wannabe CE company Coby doesn’t get too much love from us because they rarely put out interesting products. One which is mainly catching our eye though at the moment is the apparently newly released MP-835, a portable media player which is trying to gun for the Apple iPod touch.
