The 9.7-inch Android 4.0.1 slate runs at 1024 x 768, just like Apple’s tablet (and, for that matter, the HP TouchPad), with ICS running on a 1GHz single-core Cortex processor paired with 1GB of RAM. That’s obviously slower than many of the dual- and quad-core slates we’re seeing, but the amount of memory is healthy and the price should assuage too much spec-envy.

8GB of internal memory – with a card slot to add to it – along with WiFi b/g/n round out the main hardware, though Coby apparently hasn’t finalized the exact specifications; for instance, this particular Kyros could still grow a rear camera. The biggest issue is likely to be the absence of official Android Market – and Google apps – support, with third-party titles being distributed via GetJar and other stores.
