    The Viliv X10 Tablet surfaces at Computex, spotted running Android

    Viliv is keeping the tablet love running with the X10 Tablet. The upcoming kit builds upon Viliv's previous successful tablets, the S5 and X70. The X10 is entering the world now ruled by the iPad. The tablet marker is a bit different than when the other two models launched, but it looks like the Viliv X10 is ready to play with the big dog.

  • The Viliv P3 Prime shows up as expected

    The Viliv P3 Prime shows up as expected

    Posted on May 25, 2010 | No Comments
    The Viliv P3 made its first appearance at CES 2010. The company even had a demo unit for everyone to play with but it was just that, a demo. We couldn't see the Windows CE/Android dual booting or if the unit could actually play back 1080p content like Viliv states. Maybe now that the PMP is featured on Viliv's site, its launch is right around the corner. But then if Viliv follows its own trend, we'll have to wait months for the unit to be imported to the States from South Korea. So we wait.

    I've been patiently waiting for the Viliv N5 MID to launch after first getting a glimpse at it before CES '10. I was hoping to be able to check it out this month as a rumor suggested back in March. But apparently that's not going to happen. The little Windows 7 clamshell has been pushed back to June.

    We're big Viliv fans here and are glad to see the companies first PMP hit the market. They are one of the few companies that out nearly identical products in the states as Korea. The don't dumb-down its products for the American consumer. Nope, we get all the fun stuff, too. Like the HD5 PMP. Now, we just need a valid reason to need a PMP in 2010.

    Review: Viliv S10 Blade convertible netbook

    I hate it when a product like the Viliv S10 Blade looks so good as a concept but fails to live up to its potential. The S10 has a late-model Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a multitouch 10-inch screen. Should be solid, right? Wrong. Features Multitouch resistive touchscreen Convertible design 32GB or 64GB SSD Intel Atom Z530 or Z550 [...]

    Viliv makes some hot, little portables. That's a fact. The X70 and S5 touchscreen along with the S7 convertible netbook are among the best in their respective niche markets. But previously the products were only available from online retailers, which of course limits their visibility from a whole segment of potential customers. Starting Monday though, Best Buy shoppers will be able to pick up the products in store and online. There will even be an instant rebate available on the none-3G modem-equipped models.

    Laptops are becoming smaller and smaller and after we saw and lusted after the Sony Z series we were curious how the new Viliv S10 would perform. First off, it looks great. It’s very slim and the battery life is promising thus far. Is it an iPad replacement? Sure. It’s light enough and small enough [...]

  • Video Demo: Google Reader Play is clearly meant for a tablet computer

    Video Demo: Google Reader Play is clearly meant for a tablet computer

    Posted on March 11, 2010 | No Comments
    We all know that there will be an onslaught of touchscreen computers this year and next. But the Internet really isn't touchscreen friendly. It was designed for a mouse, not finger input. Google Reader Play is one of the early examples of a site redesigned for this sort of navigation with a slideshow-type interface and larger buttons. I loaded up the demo on a Viliv X70 tablet computer and found it works quite well on the 9-inch tablet. The buttons could be a bit larger, but overall it's one of the most touchscreen-friendly websites I've seen. Click through for a quick video demo.

    Feel free to check out the Viliv presser after the jump, but the only thing in there that wasn't mentioned in the earlier leak is that that both models will be sold in brick and mortor stores. That's a first for a Viliv product and will likely dramaticly increase awearness. But we still don't have a price on these models yet. Stay tuned.

    It looks like Viliv has a lot planned for CES 2010 this week. In true Internet fashion, most, if not all, of Viliv's upcoming products leaked out today. The only thing missing are the prices and release dates. At least we have the specs for not only the multi-touch convertable S10 Blade netbook and N5 clamshell, but also all the info on the OLED, Android-equipped P3 and 10809-capable HD5 PMPs. To be honest, most of this info was out previously. The S10 Blade debuted over the summer and then Viliv somewhat announced the N5 a couple weeks back. But no matter, the rest of the specs are here for your enjoyment.

    True story: About two months back I was walking through my house with the then-new Viliv S7 convertible netbook. I started babbling to my wife while she was tending to the kids about how much I loved this little netbook. Even though she clearly couldn’t care less, I went on to proclaim that if Apple would have gotten in [...]

    The Blump.it Firefox plug-in just hit the blogosphere today and I had to try it. So I loaded it up on the Viliv X70 with the hope that it will improve the functionality of the small-ish touchscreen and turn it into a certain tablet computer clone. In short, it does both very well. Check out [...]

    MID Moves goes hands-on with the Viliv S10 Blade

    Chippy, over at UMPC Portal, got to spend some quality time with the upcoming Viliv S10 Blade at IDF and seems impressed. That's saying something as previously he has reviewed the Viliv S5, X70, and currently has in house - like us - the S7. Personally I'm finding that the small form factor of the 7-inch S7 is the perfect netbook size, but some folks might like the bigger 10-inch screen the S10 Blade will offer. Plus, it seems even thinner. It's going to be a hot netbook, that's for damn sure. Anyway, hit up the read link and watch the video after the jump.
