Coby hasn’t exactly had the best track record when it comes to Android devices, but they’re looking to change that at CES early next year. They’ve just announced that they’ll be releasing fiveICS tablets at the tech spectacular in January, all of them featuring a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor (it’s unknown if it’s single- or dual-core), 1GB of RAM, up to 32GB of internal storage, and of course WiFi and 1080p HDMI out. The only real difference among the devices are the screen sizes, which are as follows:

  • MID7042- 7-inch model
  • MID8042- 8-inch model
  • MID9042- 9-inch model
  • MID9742- 9.7-inch model
  • MID1042- 10-inch model

It’s obvious that they’re trying to please everyone with five different screen sizes. The real question is, how impressive will these tablets be (or fail to be)? Only time will tell. The full press release can be found below.

So what do you think? Should Coby get out of the Android tablet game before it’s too late? Sound off in the comments!
