    Hands-on Video with the Viliv X10 Windows 7 version

    Posted on June 4, 2010 | No Comments
    Viliv unveiled the Android-powered X10 a few days back at Computex. There was indication that Viliv might offer a Windows 7 version and UMPC Portal got a little face time with the slate. Is it just me or does it look and feel a lot like the HP Slate was meant to be?

    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.

    The Inkia MID500n shows love and affection by cloning the Viliv S5

    People love the Viliv S5. It's a highly portable 4.8-inch Windows XP slate with 3G wireless, a webcam, and a GPS. It's great. Inkia obviously thought so too as the MID500n is nearly an exact, although a bit less powerful, copy of the S5.

    Is the Viliv N5 launching in May?

    Viliv's first clamshell is coming soon. We knew that. But the company was previously very quiet about when. Apparently though, the N5 could launch as soon as May. *fingers crossed*

    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.

    Hands-on with the Blump.it Firefox plug-in on a Viliv X70

    Posted on December 9, 2009 | No Comments
    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.

    A week with the Viliv S7

    So I have been using the Viliv S7 regularly for about a week now and I have concluded that it is the best netbook I have ever used. But yes, it's a netbook. The S7 might have a touchscreen, convertible design, super long battery life, and a modest size SSD, but at the end of the day, it's a luxury netbook.

    Dynamism now has some competition with the Viliv X70; well sort-of. Newegg just started selling the amazing Viliv X70 tablet PC, but don't buy it from them unless you wanna overpay.
