The Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system is the latest version of the Android platform for tablets and more. It builds on the things people love most about Android: easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, deep interactivity, and powerful new ways of communicating and sharing. With open access to GetJar, the world’s largest free app store, over 550,000 apps are only a touch away, giving you the freedom to customize your tablet for all of your web and entertainment needs.
Multitasking is a key strength of Android and it’s made even easier and more visual on Android 4.0. The Recent Apps button lets you jump instantly from one task to another using the list in the System Bar. The list pops up to show thumbnail images of apps used recently, and tapping a thumbnail switches to the app.
At 10.4 ounces, the Coby tablet is remarkably light. Measuring 7.5 by 4.4 by 0.5 inches (W x H x D), this easy-to-grip tablet is designed to fit comfortably in your hand and travel with ease.
Resistive touchscreens work on the basis of pressure applied to the screen. A resistive screen consists of a number of layers. When the screen is pressed, the outer later is pushed onto the next layer — the technology senses that pressure is being applied and registers input. Resistive touchscreens are versatile as they can be operated with a finger, a fingernail, a stylus or any other object. This screen is accurate to at least display pixel resolution, as can be seen when drawing or writing characters with a stylus, making it useful for handwriting recognition and interfaces with smaller control elements.
More than ever, the Web is part of our daily lives. We live in a connected world that allows us to laugh, share, and live on the web. The Coby tablet allows you to do the little things you love – shop, check the weather, get recipes, keep in touch with friends and family, and keep up with the constantly changing stocks and news. It lets you instantly sync and manage Google Chrome bookmarks from all of your accounts, jump to your favorite content faster, and even save it for reading later in case there’s no network available. Now experience your personal web up close with a lightweight tablet that powers on instantly anywhere (Wi-Fi connection required).
Emails are easy. Fire off an email from your couch. Or the kitchen. Or the yard. With the built-in email app, Coby tablets make it easy to stay in touch.
In Android 4.0, email is easier to send, read, and manage. For composing email, improved auto-completion of recipients helps with finding and adding frequent contacts more quickly. For easier input of frequent text, you can now create quick responses and store them in the app, then enter them from a convenient menu when composing. When replying to a message, you can now toggle the message to Reply All and Forward without changing screens.
For easier browsing across accounts and labels, the app adds an integrated menu of accounts and recent labels. To help you locate and organize IMAP and Exchange email, the Email app now supports nested mail subfolders, each with synchronization rules. You can also search across folders on the server, for faster results. Where and who you email with is up to you (Wi-Fi connection required).
With all the things you can do with Coby tablets, don’t forget to take a break for some music. The built-in music app lets you swipe and tap through your music by artist, album, song, or playlist. Listen to your favorite tunes at home or on-the-go.

Just got it, no Google Play, but Netflix can be installed.,
Just got it today, so I am giving it a 4 star and will update this review as I use it. Here goes…
I was eye balling the new Ipad (yeah, I am all things Mac), but honestly could not justify the $500+ (already have a macbook air that I can slip in my bag) for simply needing a tablet that can stream Netflix and perhaps some kids apps. My daughter loves watching Curious George, hence I needed a reasonable tablet that can keep her busy while visiting my workshop.
I got this after reading the reviews for Coby Kyros MID7015 Coby Kyros MID7015 7-Inch Android Internet Touchscreen Tablet – Black – so I knew many had said no Netflix (because there is no Google Play for this little guy), but I took a gamble (after reading that some people found a way around the no Google Play issue) and ordered the new version (MID7036-4) anyhow.
Connecting to wireless was a breeze, the MID7036-4 comes with an app called GetJar, which will allow you to download many of the apps I was looking for, such as Netflix. However I went ahead and downloaded 1mobile (dot) com and downloaded Netflix, Angry Birds with ease. I used GetJar to download some puzzles and kids educational apps for my daughter.
Netflix has been working without any issues and so did the Angry Birds (ahem, for me!). I have to admit, I was sure it was heading right back, but there is a way around no Google Play.
Wanted to do a quick review for people in my shoes, looking for a compact tablet that was reasonable and was for Netflix etc…
Please note that this is not an Ipad (or similar high end tablet) equivalent as far as resolution goes, but it is perfect for my needs. resolution is good enough, the touch screen is very reactive and functions great, the size is just right and has fit my Kindle Touch cover with ease.
I will post more as I use it. Hope this helps
Small Update / Nov 2nd, 2012
1. The battery life is about 2-3 hours while using Netflix.
2. Connects to 2.4G but not to 5G band on my router.
3. Connects to my Macbook Air and allows me to drag and drop music, photos with ease.
Update / Nov 20th, 2012
1. Connects to my Windows (Sony laptop + other desktop) and I can drag movies and photos with ease.
2. Can download Kindle reader from 1mobile(dot)com and read my kindle books (attaching images on the product for you all).
3. GetJar app that this comes w does not have a lot of the apps I can get from Amazon or 1mobile
4. Can add the tablet to my Amazon account and use the Kindle Fire apps.
5. Can set parental control w/ the Android Parental Control app.
Update / Nov 24th 2012
1. Installed Amazon Appstore, nice addition to my Imobile app store.
2. Email set up: Was a breeze, I clicked email icon and entered my gmail address and followed the screen instructions. Email synced and works great.
3. Downloaded Youtube app from Imobile (looked for it under the Amazon Appstore, but could not find it). Installed Youtube and it works great.
4. Can open PDF files w/ Adobe Reader that is already installed in this tablet. There is also Office Suite in this tablet.
Next up, testing the battery life for Kindle books

|Seems like a good budget tablet value,
Like the other reviewer, I had been considering the earlier model of this device, but due to the small price difference, it made sense to go or the latest model with the capacitive screen. The unit comes nicely packaged with a printed manual, a slip case, a micro fiber cleaning cloth (small), a USB cable, AC charger, the tablet, and and some other cards, offers, and info. All in all, a good quality box and package making for a nice first impression.
I charged the battery and then turned on the tablet. It booted up quickly and I set up my wifi connection with no problems at all. Pretty much like any Android tablet. There are a few basic apps installed (music, video, email, gallery (pics/vid, YouTube, etc.) and the GetJar app market. You can read all about this under the 7015 (Coby Kyros MID7015 7-Inch Android Internet Touchscreen Tablet – Black)reviews, so I won’t repeat it here. As others mention, you can use the 1mobile, Amazon or other app stores, and you can also download app packages to your PC and transfer them to the 7036 and run them to install. (I will update once I’ve had more time to install and test additional apps.)
If you used any of the larger automobile GPS units, this device will look very familiar. The screen quality is similar, but fine for this price point. Viewing angles are acceptable, contrast and black levels are not as good as pricier models, but are acceptable for this price. One plus is that this unit has a USB port and a micro SD card slot. Many cheaper tablets do not. The screen flips to the proper orientation quickly as needed and as expected. I like having the physical (back) button on the right side (in normal landscape mode). You also have the usual touch screen functions, of course, but this sits right under your thumb and is very convenient.
The 7036-4 has 4 GB internal flash, 512 MB RAM and a decent 1 GHz processor. The screen is not as good as those on higher priced tablets, but it is acceptable. 800×600 would have been better, but 800×480 is good enough for video/photos. Text suffers though. The touch screen works fine and is very responsive. The case is plastic and the unit is fairly light weight, but the quality seems fine for the asking price.
There is no camera in this model (the 7048 includes one for only a few dollars more), however, the thing I really miss is bluetooth. Bluetooth allows the easy connection of external speakers and wireless headphones. You can buy Bluetooth adapters that can plug into the headphone jack, but this is not nearly as convenient, especially since the headphone jack is, unfortunately, located on the bottom, right corner of the unit. Not sure what they were thinking, but it is not a very convenient location, in my opinion. (Well, it’s OK if you use this primarily holding it in your hands, but if you put it on a stand as I often do, it’s a minor problem.)
The Android 4 ICS OS installed is pretty much vanilla which is fine with me. I felt right at home (I have several other Android devices.) I have both smaller and larger units, this medium size unit is a good size for portable video viewing. The sound is OK, it’s mono (only one speaker), but quality is good enough, though most people will probably use headphones. No GPS, but wifi location works as expected.
Summary:
*** So far, this device is meeting my goal of a smaller, more portable Android tablet. My Thrive is way better, but it’s also bigger and heavier. So for “grab and go” trips around town, this is a better choice. Plus if I drop or loose it, less pain than if it were my much more expensive Thrive (which I love, a super tablet). ***
– 800×480 Screen quality is OK for the price (not great, but acceptable). Videos look pretty good, but text pixels are readily visible (see update below*). Viewing angles acceptable. Black levels adequate. Average quality, but good enough for this price.
– Performance is snappy overall.
– Build quality seems OK for the price point.
– Android OS is great. No proprietary “tweaks” that I noticed.
– Nicely packaged with slip case, cleaning cloth, USB Cable, charger, etc.
– Has a USB port and a micro SD card slot (often missing in cheaper tablets)
– Painless setup right out of box. Booted up and worked fine.
– No camera, no GPS, no Bluetooth (alas!)
– Videos played fine and looked good. YouTube HD vids work fine. SD Netflix played fine.
– Mono speaker, but good enough in a pinch. Headphone jack available, of course, and stereo sound quality was fine when I plugged in my external stereo speaker.
– Lightweight, portable, feels solid enough.
– Excellent value for what you get – good bang for the buck.

|It is inexpensive…,
Well, for what it costs, it’s just barely tolerable. I bought it to test developing with Android. For that purpose, as a lowest common denominator device, it works fairly admirably. On the other hand, this is nearly the bare bones minimum you need to do Netflix / surf the web / play games etc. This thing is just barely fast enough to play Netflix SD. For light web, book reading and email, it would serve pretty well given the price. I plan on buying one for my Mom, and maybe as a treat for one of my kids if they do well in school. But it’s certainly no Nexus 7 or iPad. But hey, it is cheap as all get out, and it works, so that’s pretty hard to argue with.
