Mobility Digest Review: Kocaso M760B 1.2GHz 4GB 7" Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet
by Kristofer Brozio •
Quote: “I’m back with another review for you today of an Android Tablet from Geeks.com called the Kocaso M760B which is very low priced. As of right now it’s priced at under $100, and I know most people will not expect a quality tablet for that little of a price. There was a time when inexpensive meant cheap, but cheap as in price but cheap as in junk, but that’s not so here. I was pleasantly surprised by this tablet especially the specs with a 1.2ghz CPU and even a capacitive screen. There was a time when inexpensive tablets only had resistive screens and we all know how great they are?! Anyway, read on to learn more about a decent but very inexpensive Android tablet. “

Le Pan TC 970 Android Tablet Not Getting Update
by Kristofer Brozio •
So, sadly it’s official the Le Pan TC 970 is NOT getting any Android version past 2.2. ‘
When I first got the tablet I asked about the updated and they told me it would be getting Ice Cream Sandwich in the 4th quarter 2011, which of course we’re in right now. I had forgot about it and just remembered so I sent them off an email and this was the response I got:
The original Le Pan won’t be getting any Android OS upgrades but will receive firmware updates when needed. The TC970 does not meet the minimal specifications needed to run the new OS. It is capable of running 2.3 however the entire software of the tablet would have to be rewritten.
We really apologize that the tablet cannot be upgradable to anything past 2.2 at this point.
So no Gingerbread or anything new for the TC 970, but at least they’re still going to support it.

Le Pan TC 970 Firmware Update Information
by Kristofer Brozio •
Ok, it looks as though Le pan has made it much easier to update your TC 970. I love mine and still use it often, it’s once of the best Android tablets out there and best of all it’s inexpensive. Get one, you won’t be sorry!
Anyway, to get the update you need to go to the Support page http://lepan.supportsync.com/
Then click the ‘Latest Firmware for LePan TC 970 Tablet Computer’
which would be here: http://lepan.supportsync.com/articles/view/Latest_Firmware_for_LePan_TC_970_Tablet_Computer_11
Then you’ll see links to download the three files, Firmware, Applications and Instructions.
It’s very simple to do but follow the instructions and make sure you UNPLUG the USB/charger cable before powering-on the tablet or the upgrade process will not start.!!
Here are the links for you:
Firmware: http://www.supportsyncfiles.com/lepan/firmware/Firmware_4431_LePan_TC970.zip
Applications: http://www.supportsyncfiles.com/lepan/applications/TC970_Preset_APK.zip
Instructions: http://www.supportsyncfiles.com/lepan/firmware/upgrade_instructions.pdf
Right now Amazon has the Le Pan TC 970 for $229.99, which isn’t bad at all.
if you get the tablet I can highly recommend getting the POSRUS Antiglare screen protector as well. The TC 970 is great but the screen is super glossy and it’s annoying, the screen protector works perfectly to reduce glare by about 90-95%

Quote:
" Tablets are the latest and greatest thing this year it seems and when it comes to buying one you’ve got plenty of choices. You can go for very expensive, inexpensive or somewhere in between and today I’ve got the somewhere in between for review today. It comes form a company called Idolian where their motto is ‘Tablets for Everyone’ and the tablet I have today for review is called the TouchTab10. The 10 in that name stand for the size of it which is a 10” screen. The TouchTab10 is running Android 2.3 and it comes complete with HDMI output and most things you’ve come to expect from a tablet. I’ll be honest, it’s not a bad tablet but it does have some small issues. "
