Hi everyone & thanks for welcoming me to your forums.
I have a technical background, and I'm into hacking gadgets. This kind of describes me. I don't have a tablet yet, but actually I just bought one on eBay about an hour ago. It's bricked - "freezing on startup screen". So of course I'll have to figure out how to get it working again. I'm guessing 90% chance of software issues, maybe 10% chance it's a hardware issue. Buying a unit that is already bricked will leave me no choice but to hack it. If I bought a new one, I might be hesitant to hack it.
I should get this unit about mid-week, and obviously the first goal is just to get it working again, then get some customizations going.
Once I get it in my hands - BTW it's a Coby Mid7016-4G - I'll let you know how it goes in further posts.
Hope also that down the road I can contribute a little wisdom back to the forum.

Never thought I'd be saying that, but it does make sense when I think about it. If you're going to hack it anyway, you might as well get a good price on it. The Coby was a good choice since we've got a very good support community for those tablets and you'll probably be able to get some help if you need it. I've got a feeling it won't be too long before you'll be able to contribute a little wisdom back to the forum. Have fun and enjoy the forum.
