Yes it should be possible, don't have a Mac, but can't be much different, and since you don't have yours yet ... now is the time to start getting everything that you need.

Yes, I did read, for hours, about the Coby Kyros before I purchased it and decided I wanted it AND the Android Market so that I could get all the apps I wanted to use. I'm an Apple user and know nothing about Android but it seemed like something I could do after reading these and watching the videos. Afterwards I saw that people were having problems getting to the point, after the upgrade (which I'm assuming mine already has), where they could put Android Market on it. I'm still confused as to whether or not that is possible. Is it?

Not the discussion thread. It's the last sticky of the top of the forums.
Get all the files and download them to your computer.
The main sticking points for me were:
I have to say, I have NO CLUE as to why all Android based devices don't at the very least have the Android Market on them! The Android Market is so much better than AppsLib one!
Get all the files and download them to your computer.
The main sticking points for me were:
- Getting my Win Vista 32-bit to recognize and install the usb driver for the Kyros. This requires you to get the SDK (Software Development Kit) for Android and install it on your computer. Be sure to get all the Third Party add-ons under the Available Packages section. (You don't need the Samsung ones)
- Modifying the latest android_winusb.inf file located in the... now different folder called: google-usb_driver with the instructions in found in the ultimate guide sticky.
- Next was still getting my computer to recognize the device. I had to go into device manager and Update Driver, and point windows to the ENTIRE C:/android-sdk-windows/ directory (assuming you extracted the zip file to your C:/ drive which you should do) NOT the google-usb_driver folder.
- Since I already had 7015a version, Coby removed the flash_image file from the /system/bin directory, but thanks to the awesome moderator l_n, in this thread he has a link to download the old update file which does have the flash_image file, which is needed.
