Well I have the MID7005-4G that doesn't cost anywhere need the S7. I don't use the tablet for 3G (sim features for phone) this would be more PROXY / VPN / WLAN / WWAN / RDP / VNC / VMWARE / FTP / Wireless Sniffer is what I would use it more for.

KYROS MID7005-4G Second Look Review (Video)

 

[xaueious]

The main feature of this thing is the amazing support for videos.

Once you install mVideoPlayer, you can playback almost all the downloadable videos on the market.

Build quality is decent. The main complaint is the touchscreen response. I like this tablet a lot.

HDMI will output whatever is on your tablet screen. Which is neat, but only really supports 800x480 upscaled to whatever your HD TV supports. It's a shame considering that the device is probably capable of outputting the actual HD quality video, but you at least get DVD quality playback with this. Coby is misrepresenting its own product, likely because they know nothing about it.

Google hasn't exactly caught on with the presence of Google Market on this thing yet. But it's the same situation as the Gentouch.

RS seems better on this one. I don't see the jumping around like I see on GT78, PDNHT, S7 on the browser or typing something. I'll show off the HDMI in the Third Look Review. I only got Google Maps on it. I use AppLib from Archos which is comes with. SideME, there are so much other replacements for Market.

I picked up a Coby 7015 today and though I haven't had time to do a whole lot with it, I have to say the screen is VERY responsive. In the last couple months I have had an Augen GenTouch 78 and a Huawei S7 and now the Coby. Will I keep it? Not sure yet...probably not since I can get a HeroTab for about $30 less online, but the GenTouch screen was HORRIBLE response and the S7 was decent, but had issues on hyperlinks unless you use a stylus. But I have to say, for a resistive screen, the Coby is pretty incredible. As far as the pressure required and how fast it scrolls, it's darn near as good as a capacitive screen on response.

I'm going to play around a bit more and see what I can do with it. Would love to have the Market, trying to figure out this AppsLib thing, which doesn't appear to be too bad. One of the best sub-$200 units I've seen. Doesn't feel like a toy like the Augen but feels quite a bit lighter than the S7. No kickstand, speakers not as nice and loud as the S7, no sim/3g support. Just can't get over how responsive the screen is...very light touch response.

Coby has some serious issue with memory leaking. You'll see when it locks up on you when you run some programs to long. This also effects both 7005 and 7015. Hopefully a Rooted ROM might fix those glitches.
