    Best Buy now hawking Viliv’s wares

    Posted on March 21, 2010 | No Comments
    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.

  • MID Moves goes hands-on with the Viliv S10 Blade

    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.

    Viliv S7 spotted on Dynamism with pricing info

    Think that the Viliv X70 is hot? (It is.) The unreleased S7 is shaping up to be even hotter with a 9.5 max battery life, physical keyboard, and convertible design. Our review model is currently somewhere over the Pacific so until we can post some hands-on images and first impressions, head over to Dynamism. The retailer just posted the S7 product page that not only lists all the specs but also the price and a whole bunch of photos.

    The Viliv X70 is finally available and shipping from Dynamism

    I loved the Viliv X70. It's a great UMPC and it's finally available for public consumption from Dynamism. The pre-orders took a little longer to ship than expected, but now that those are done, the X70 is available for everyone. Better yet, you can expect it to ship out the same day you place your order. Now, the smaller, but still hot, S5 is a different story.

    The Viliv S7’s battery gets tested in Korea

    Viliv went all official on the S7 a couple of weeks ago. The hot convertible tablet definitely sparked my interest, especially the 4700mAh lithium polymer batter that is said to have up to 9.5 hours. That's hot. Well, some folks in Korea got their hands on the portable and put that battery to the test. The results really aren't that surprising.

    The Viliv S7, everyone

    Viliv is back again with yet another UMPC for the Korean market. Inside, the hardware is about on par with the X70 that I just reviewed with 1024 x 600 touchscreen, an Intel Atom Z520, 1GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD hard drive, and Windows XP. The S7 is equipped with a physical keyboard which should make it a tad easier to tweet. There is a chance though that by the time Viliv imports the UMPC to the States, we might get a slightly better model.

    The Viliv X70 isn’t the first UMPC, nor is it the most feature-filled. It’s isn’t the most expensive or cheapest. But I’m willing to bet that it’s one of the most important devices in its class. The X70, and it’s little brother the S5, offer a lot of mobile goodness for a relatively low [...]

    We are loving the Viliv X70 with it's built-in 3G modem, but it's little brother - the S5 - wants some love too. The 5-inch UMPC will soon be available from Dynamism with 3G and more SSD options. These extras do come at a higher price though.
