Kobo Vox Review - Full Hands On

Kobo will be releasing their first tablet dubbed 'Vox' this Friday at Chapters/Indigo locations and from their website in the USA. It will be competitively priced at $199 vs. the Kindle Fire. We just got back from Toronto, where we were at the Kobo HQ and got a full hands on review a few days before it officially comes out! Hardware The Kobo Vox features a 7 inch capacitive multi-touchscreen display with a resolution of 1025x600. The colors absolutely pop on this unit and the entire interface of the new apps the company released are optimized to fit the screen.
