So what do you say, you're with it or not? We hear it runs a skinned version of Window's XP and there is a video below to convince you to but it.

VILIV S5 GETS PERSONAL VIDEO DEMO

You might remember that back in January Viliv introduced the S5 and S7 models. Well the former model has gotten its little screen time courtesy of UMPC Portal, and has been causing quite a few green eyes among prospective buyers.

So far the system looks pretty tight and we kinda like that XP skin that Viliv has going for them. There are some minor drawbacks though such as the lack of microphone or physical mouse pointer. But that should not be too much of an issue as the entire system is touchscreen.

The battery gets high marks as well as the overall design, which according to UMPC Pocktables is "the best pocketable UMPC."

We'd go on with more ramblings but you're probably not reading this anyway (instead watching the video below. So go right ahead and take a look.

VILIV S5 GETS LOOKED AT UNDER VIDEO CAMERA

We're going to be quite short with this as you're probably more interested in watching the actual video. But that Viliv S5 that was posing for the cameras at CES a month ago has been unboxed on video.

VILIV S5 MID GETS HAPTIC AND MARCH RELEASE DATE

When Viliv debuted their S5 MID at CES a few weeks ago it created quite a buzz in the tech world thanks especially to its Window's XP that has a custom overlay UI which makes it more accessible to fingers.

Well new details have surfaced about the device including haptic feedback as well as a March release date. Some of the features that will be on its way in March include a 4.8-inch 1024x600 display and as we said before tactile feedback.

We're hearing that these will be coming in arch (stateside) although no price has been set. Hoping that this will revive Viliv.

VILIV S7 PRODUCTIVITY MID – SPECIFICATIONS BECOME OFFICIAL!

It weighs just 800g and measures 210 x 117 x 26 mm. Though the price is still unknown, with these specs the Viliv S7 can pose a tough competition for some very hi-tech ultraportable notebooks like the Sony Vaio P.
