We cannot confirm if Sagem has changed the specs of the UMID M1 mbook, but what we can say is that the renamed Sagem Spiga will go for less: 499 euros from the previous 600 to 700. It’s still the same tiny 4.8-inch (1024 x 600) screen netbook with the 1.1GHz Intel Atom processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, [...]

How would you like an Atom-based touchscreen MID to have 3G conectivity as well? Viliv thinks you’ll like it very much. The original X70 has now added 3G support, and redubbed as Viliv X70 EX Premium 3G. This baby is already priced ($890) and available in Hong Kong. Read more at Engadget.

If you can’t be bothered by a 7-inch netbook anymore, maybe the 7-inch Viliv X70, a 7-inch UMPC, would make you think again. The Atom-based Viliv X70 resembles the hardware of the Viliv S5. It has a 1.33GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD storage. It connects to 3G networks and [...]

Well, the Koreans knew it before any of us did. The UMID M1 sucks big time on built quality. UMPCportal was in the mood for a full review of the Mbook M1 and here’s what they have to say: Groundbreakingly portable computer Totally hand usable (no table or lap necessary) Plastic body is of poor quality Thumb keys too [...]

In terms of build, the Viliv S5 MID (or UMPC, whatever you want to call it) is one of the better buys on its niche, though we were hoping the UMID mbook improves on its current hardware. The Viliv S5 is an Atombased machine with a 4.8-inch WSVGA touchscreen. For $599 it is good value, [...]

UMID’s 4.8-inch m1 mbook will not have its US release just yet. It’s understandable what with the minor fiasco on its Korea debut as reported by CNET. Besides its tiny form factor, this mini netbook has built-in 3G, besides the WiFi connectivity. Slated for a May or June release, the people of UMID have backtracked [...]

We thought the UMID M1 mbook was a pretty cool device but hi-tech Korea doesn’t think so. While Viliv sold all 1,000 units of the S5 in pre-order, UMID’s 500 M1 mbook has some left overs. Now, we have no idea how competitive the UMPC market is in Korea. Kevin Kang of CNET thinks it’ll [...]

Will UMPCs and MIDs be as big as netbooks? The X70 Atom Communication MID from Viliv seems to suggest that ultra-portable computing does not end with netbooks. This mobile Internet device boasts a 7-inch WSVGA touch screen, a 1.33GHz Atom Z520 CPU, 1GB RAM, your choice of 8GB/16GB SSD and 30GB/60GB HDD, Bluetooth, HSDPA, WiMAX [...]

What do you get when you combine the Sony Vaio P and an Asus Tablet netbook? The Viliv S7 is probably it. The Viliv S7 comes with a smaller 7-inch 1024×600 display, an Intel Atom Silverthorn (1.33GHz or 1.86Ghz) processor, 1GB RAM, 1.3-megapixel webcam, 16GB SSD or 60GB HDD, Wifi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, WiMAX, HSDPA, GPS [...]

We have to admit, the EM-2811 PMP from Shenzhen Everbest Science & Technology doesn’t look half bad. Rather reminscent of the Viliv UMPC U5, actually, albeit a simplified and much less capable version. The EM-2811 supports RMVB, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV, 3GP, ASF, WMV and FLV video files, MP3, WMA and WAV audio [...]
