Coby has launched its second Android tablet in the US market, and to be honest, the new Kyros MID7015 looks an awful lot like the Kyros 7005 which started shipping last month. The main difference seems to be that the new version has some sort of directional pad on the right side, where the Kyros 7005 has Home, Back, and…
