Earlier on today we told you about Viliv’s Korean prices and specifications for their upcoming S7 convertible touchscreen UMPC; now we have word on the international versions.  Not only will these offer the same Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, but there’ll also be a “flagship” model with a 2.0GHz Atom processor (likely the Z550), a [...]

Viliv have announced pricing and final configurations for their upcoming convertible touchscreen UMPC, the Viliv S7.  The 7-inch device has a full QWERTY keyboard, together with up to 9.5hrs of runtime from a single charge, and can be outfitted with optional WiBro in Korea.

Viliv’s X70 UMPC goes on sale today through importer Dynamism, and as we’ve already reported there’s a clutch of goodies for the first 777 buyers.  Priced from $599, the X70 has a choice of 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz Intel Atom processors and SSD storage from 16GB; we’ve already seen one very positive review; now jkkmobile has [...]

The much-anticipated CrunchPad internet tablet from Michael Arrington is apparently ramping up for a late July or early August launch.  According to The New York Times’ Bits Blog the touchscreen web tablet will be priced at “less than $300.”

Kohjinsha’s SK3 UMPC, which we saw yesterday, has been officially launched in Japan.  The 7-inch touchscreen SK3 gets an Intel Atom 1.33GHz processor paired with 1GB of RAM and a 60GB 1.8-inch 4,200rpm hard-drive; there’s also WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0 and GPS.

It’s ironic that what a year or two would’ve been called a UMPC (and, frankly, ignored by most people, tech writers included) is now called a touchscreen netbook and garners far more interest.  Latest on the block is set to be the Kohjinsha SK3, an upgrade to the existing 7-inch SC3 UMPC.  Among the changes are [...]

We 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 [...]

After Palm’s big moment last weekend, Apple once again seized the headlines with their WWDC 2009 keynote on Monday morning.  We showed up to liveblog the whole announcement, expecting a new smartphone, and the company delivered in the shape of the iPhone 3G S – twice the speed, twice the storage, and the same styling [...]

We’ve already seen enough of Viliv’s X70 to know it could arguably be the company’s best device to-date, and now the first full review of the 7-inch UMPC is in from our friend Steve over at UMPC Portal.  He describes the X70 as “the best 7-in Tablet UMPC we’ve ever tested”, praising its great build [...]

Archos’ press event yesterday fell short of delivering the Android tablet many had suspected was on the cards, but CEO Henri Crohas did spare a few words in his keynote about the company’s Android development.  What they did announce was the Archos 9 PC Tablet, and ArchosFans were on-hand to grab a video demo.
