Coby has begun shipping several of its Android 4.0 tablets that were first introduced earlier this year at CES. The two models that will arrive this month include the seven-inch Kyros MID7042-4 and the 9.7-inch Kyros MID9742-B, both focused on the entry-level tablet market.
The tablets integrate a single-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor paired with 1GB of RAM, along with front-facing cameras, HDMI output, 8GB if internal storage, microSD slots, and 802.11n Wi-Fi.
The seven-inch variant offers a 16:9 capacitive touchscreen with 800x480 resolution, while the 9.7-inch model steps up to a 1024x768 panel.
The MID7042 is now available for $179, while the MID9742 retails for $279. The company is also expected to offer eight-, nine-, and 10-inch models later this spring.
