It's a processor which isn't used in any other tablets outside of Coby, though in the future it might become more popular. The tablet accesses the Internet through a Wi-Fi connection. This tablet does not have access to a 3G or 4G network so beware, if that is something you absolutely need to have in a tablet, search elsewhere.
