If there's one thing capitalism has taught us, it's that competition is usually good for prices. Newegg have just joined Dynamism in offering the Viliv X70 UMPC, the 7-inch Korean touchscreen tablet, which you'd expect to mean prices were pushed down. Unfortunately Newegg don't seem to have got that memo; their prices are actually a little more expensive than the existing offers.

Viliv X70 UMPC delayed by components shortages
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jul 29th 2009 No CommentsPreorders for Viliv MIDs and UMPCs just don’t seem to be blessed with the best of luck. After the Viliv S5 launch brought down importer Dynamism’s servers and left many struggling to complete their orders, the launch of the Viliv X70 has been struck by components shortages at the factory. In an email to those who preordered the 7-inch touchscreen device, Dynamism suggests that “MIDs have been especially popular this year” which surprised components suppliers.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jun 19th 2009 No CommentsWe already knew the Viliv X70 would start from a terribly reasonable $599, but now we’ve heard from importers Dynamism that presales for the 7-inch UMPC will start at 1PM EST on July 6th. The first shipment of the Atom-based touchscreen handheld is expected on July 28th, and just to make sure every one of those gets a new home to go out to, there are a few tempting offers available to those who preorder.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jun 16th 2009 No CommentsImporter Dynamism have announced pre-order pricing for 3G-enabled HSPA version of the Viliv S5 MID. Available for some time now in Korea, the US Viliv S5 3G will not carry the “Air” title as it does there, but will still come with SSD storage.
Viliv X70 MID priced from $599
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jun 9th 2009 No CommentsIt’s had nowhere near the coverage of their S5 MID, but the Viliv X70 looks set to gain a whole lot more attention now that preorder pricing has started to emerge. Importer Dynamism is listing the X70 for $599; whether or not you think that’s good value for a 7-inch touchscreen UMPC with 6 days standby, it’s certainly well priced against the S5.
Viliv S5 pre-order swamps servers; second chance promised
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Apr 29th 2009 3 CommentsViliv’s S5 is causing more trouble, this time for importers Dynamism. After selling out in Korea and Hong Kong in record time, the coveted MID has now left many would-be pre-order customers in the US with a sour taste: demand for the 4.8-inch touchscreen device brought Dynamism’s servers to their knees, leading to slow- or non-loading pages and a general inability to snatch up one of the limited numbers of S5s on Monday.
