The Viliv S5 was sort of charming in its own way—a tiny Atom-powered touchscreen MID that went for $US599. Well the Viliv X70 is the S5′s bigger cousin, and it runs just $US599, too.
The gadget: Viliv S5, a computer that fits in your palm, packing all the Atom processor power of the latest netbooks along with GPS.
Specs for Viliv’s S7 UMPC/netbook/tablet/whatever have popped up, and while the gadget’s guts are similar to other netbooks, the physical design— including a jumbo keyboard and battery and a swiveling touchscreen— sets it apart.
Following on last year’s P2, the new Viliv X2 AIO comes with absolutely everything on a tight 4.3-inch screen package: movie, music and picture playback with picture in picture capabilities, digital TV tuner, GPS and electronic dictionary, which would be great if you live in Korea, where it’s going to be launched.
