Looking to score a relatively cheap Android-based tablet? Coby has introduced the Kyros MID7015, which could be exactly what you’re looking for if you’re in the market for a 7-inch Android tablet on a $250 budget. So what did it give up to go more than half the price of a Galaxy Tab? Not much if you’re not necessarily looking for a built-in cam (the Kyros doesn’t have one) or the best that current tech has to offer. The processor’s no 1GHz Snapdragon either. The Kyros runs on a relatively slower 800MHz chip, while the rest of the spec’s made of lower-end tech to make for the lower-end price. Yeah, it’s a bit underwhelming, but you get what you pay for.
The rest of the spec’s rounded out by Wi-fi b/g connectivity (no speedy 802.11n connection here), and a 7-inch, 800×480 resistive touch (not capacitive) screen to further lower the price. The tablet also packs 4GBs of internal storage space with Android 2.1 preinstalled, but can be expanded up to 16GBs with a microSD card. It’s listed to be able to play 1080p HD videos through an HDMI port though, so at least you get quality entertainment if that’s what you’re into.
Preinstalled software isn’t listed, but since it runs on Android, you’re going to have access to the Marketplace for downloading what you need.
