Please post a link. The original link still gives the same message that the page in unavailable.
Where are you located ?? Is it possible Coby Germany is blocking access to North American IP addresses ?? I will be in Europe in September and plan to bring my MID1126. This would be an opportunity to check.
Thanks.

I don't think so. I'm at Southern Europe (Portugal) and i can't see the page also.
I'm in France.
I've just went to the same url : Consumer Entertainment Products for Home, Office or On the Go! | COBY
Anyway, the update process seems to be the same as the old one, so I think you can download the updater (from here : http://coby.upgrade-android.com/apps/UpgradeAndroid.apk) and run it on your tablet.
Here is the full message from coby germany if you can't read it :

The link you posted gives the "Due to technical reasons this page is not available. " message. Are you certain you are not looking at a cached page ?
I have the updater.apk installed. It will be interesting to see if it continues to work.
Something is happening at Coby... I've put off buying a used 8127 until this is resolved. If I can't update the 8127 to 4.0.3 I'd pass on the older tablet and look for a used 8042 instead.

Yes, sure. I've cleared cache, cookies, all stuff and I always can see this page.
Yesterday, this url send me to the homepage of cobygermany but today it's working well. I've went to this url with my mobile phone too and I was able to download the UpgradeAndroid.apk from a link a the end of the page (the one I've posted earlier).

This ICS 4.0.3 that runs on the Coby... does it pass Google's CTS test?

I can confirm. Consumer Entertainment Products for Home, Office or On the Go! | COBY it's up again.
Fascinating... I'm browsing on a Win7 machine and after clearing my cache I still get the "Due to technical reasons this page is not available. " message. Something is happening.
Since I have the Updater on my MID1126 I could try to run that but I don't want to wreck my ICS 4.0.3 installation. This might be a good time to pick up an used 8127 and play with that.
I think the update process is completely independant from the availability of this page. This page is just here to give changelog and provide the link to the UpdateAndroid.apk which will make the real update on the device.
You can try to download this file again (here is the link http://coby.upgrade-android.com/apps/UpgradeAndroid.apk) if you want to be sure to have the latest version of the updater.
But if you prefer to acquire a 8127 I'll not try to stop you ! It should be good news for me too ^^

I have the .apk, I'm reluctant to risk crashing the ICS 4.0.3 installation on my 1126.
I had an 8125 that I gave away because of limits from the single point resistive screen. I like the 8" screen for mobile computing and kept a usb keyboard case. I picked up an 8042 this morning so I'm set.

And it seems Coby Germany made another change to the text in the update webpage. As i can read, they are now supporting only the tablets bought in Germany. And i was thinking that Coby was a worldwide brand
