Coby Kyros MID9740-8: An affordable treat for practical techies

Consumer electronics brand Coby gives practical techies a treat with the release of Kyros MID9740-8, an affordable 9.7-inch capacitive Android tablet with pre-installed applications and an 8-gigabyte internal memory.

For a price lower than most mobile devices in the market, the Kyros Internet Tablet comes with a protective pouch and a power adapter. There are no fancy accessories that complicate user experience, just no-frills features that appeal to techies of all ages. The tablet's size is also ideal - not too small and not too bulky, and the sleek design makes it easy to hold and use.

Thanks to its simple interface, the tablet is an ideal gift for technophobics like old folks who are never too late to jump into the techie bandwagon. The computer's basic features also make it easy to use for kids who are are being introduced into advanced gadgets and technology.

One thing users can appreciate from the Kyros tablet is its user-friendly interface that does not intimidate thanks to its minimalist design. 

Users are also able to customize the placement of different icons depending on their categories, or for purposes of accessibility.

Users who are into photos, movies and games need not worry about extra space because the tablet can accommodate up to 32 gigabytes of expanded memory.

For the specifics, the tablet comes with a 1 GHz processor and a random access memory of 1 gigabyte.

For users who are fans of video calls, the tablet has a 0.3-megapixel front camera with a built-in microphone and speaker. Those who are into taking photos for their social network accounts, on the other hand, can use a 2-megapixel rear-facing camera.

The tablet's screen features a decent resolution which is ideal for watching movies looking at photos or reading electronic books in bed or on the go, with just the right amount of clarity and sharpness.

It comes with a pre-installed Web browser, YouTube, eBook, Office Suite and a video player, among others, and users get access to a smorgasbord of applications through GetJar, another open source platform where people can download tons of applications for free.

Users, however, have to rely on a stable Internet connection to maximize the tablet's speed whenever the device goes online. A fluctuating connection sometimes make it difficult to type on the keyboard, with characters taking a little bit more time to register on the text box.

Overall, the Kyros MID9740-8 is a good investment for everyone who wants an affordable device that does not complicate everything. With the Kyros Internet Tablet, Coby proves you can have more if you stick with what's simple.
