Coby is a joke. I vowed to never buy another Coby product when I was burned for the third time with a pair of ear buds/headset. My previous 2 burns were a digital picture frame (which I had given as a gift to my mother in law), and a MP3 player. Stay away from this shit people, you've been warned. I can only imagine how shitty this netbook will be. ]]>Aug 27th 2009 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/Aug 27th 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/Aug 27th 2009 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/Aug 27th 2009 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/

It takes a lot of scratch to work your way up like that. For that i actually admire Coby. I took the plunge last christmas and bought my mom a 800x600 pixel 8" LED backlit LCD frame by Coby, so far so good.

Respect the ascent son!

I hate to tell you, that picture frame you bought for your mom last X-mas will crap out in like 3 months brother. Coby is a front for a ponzi scheme, that has to explain their shit electronics.

I still don't think I'd buy anything from a company who sells the majority of their electronics out of Toys R Us stores, unless I could get a really good deal.

Plus, for people who MUST have a 12.1" netbook, MSI is coming out with one, with better specs and probably at a way lower price. Coby need to step up their game; if any market is saturated enough as it is, it's netbooks. Too many better alternatives exist.]]>Aug 27th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/Aug 27th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/Aug 27th 2009 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/cobys-netbooks-seemingly-real-taking-pre-orders/
