Some joojoo hardware specs revealed!

Dan H. — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:10:16 +0000

After the announcement of the joojoo earlier today, Gizmodo has some specs posted. Keep in mind that this was not officially confirmed or announced by Fusion Garage. Gizmodo says the joojoo runs on a 1.6Ghz Atom processor with 1GB RAM. Apparently this is pretty much confirmed, they saw it when it was booting–it was a BIOS setup and showed what it was booting to. Gizmodo guesses that there is a Nvidia Ion chip inside the device. It’s capable of 720p and 1080p HD video, and the Atom processor isn’t capable of handling that itself.

Fusion Garage is thinking about adding a 3G card in future models of the joojoo. (which is a great idea, I must say) No TV out/HDMI port on the joojoo, but Fusion Garage also said they are thinking about it. Pre-orders start on December 11th, on the joojoo website. Fusion Garage is hoping to ship this tablet 8-10 weeks after pre-orders start.

Is This Sweet Looking 15” Android Table Coming Soon?

Chris Leckness — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:01:21 +0000

Electricpig says yes…

2010 is going to be quite the year for Google tablets. The first Android tablet is already on sale, but there are plenty more planned, and now another to add to the shopping list, the Vega Android tablet: a giant, 15-inch keyboardless computer with 3G and top graphics shoved in. Who needs an Apple tablet?

From Innovative Converged Devices (ICD), the Vega will come in three sizes, 7, 11 and 15 inch (HD resolution), pack Wi-Fi, 3G, microSD, 3.5mm audio, and although its 512MB RAM won’t compete with a laptop of the same size, the NVIDIA Tegra graphics on board should keep anyone keen to munch on web pages and streaming video through Android 2.0 happy.

I was over on Electricpig reading about Vimeo support on the iPhone when this beautiful creature graced my screen. I haven’t seen any mention of this from Ctitanic, so I decided to read a bit further. 15” screen, Tegra Processor… What else do you need really? Find out more for us Frank!

Check out some more pics and more info at Electricpig.

Viliv S10 Convertible Netbook

ctitanic — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:55:30 +0000

They did well calling the Viliv S10 a convertible notebooks because what’s not for sure is a TabletPC. Why? Because this device does not have a HID compliant driver to handle its touch screen and as result you won’t ever experience all the touch screen features included in Windows 7.

ctitanic — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:05:46 +0000

JKK has installed Windows 7 in a Asus Eee PC T91 and he is talking about his impressions in this video.

YouTube – Asus Eee PC T91 with Windows 7

Just by looking at the video I could see that Asus got it right using HID Drivers for the touch screen. The Asus Eee PC T91 is Windows Touch Compliant.

Few notes about W7 in a Viliv X70

ctitanic — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 07:33:00 +0000

Thanks to Dynamism I had the chance of testing a Viliv x70 and even more, install W7 on it. This is not a guide, these are just few notes about the process.

The device has only one USB port, buy a little USB port where you can connect your USB Mouse, keyboard and a bootable USB Memory stick with Windows 7. I used this tool to prepare the USB Memory.
Download from Viliv all drivers and uncompress them in a folder in your bootable USB. Windows 7 wont recognize the WiFi and the Touch Screen. This is why is so important to have the WiFi driver ready. The touch screen driver that I recommend is the eGalax Beta for W7. Still this is not a HID and as result Windows 7 will not recognize this device as a Tablet PC or a device with a digitizer. This means that you will miss some of the touch features that we love very much from Windows 7.
To boot from the USB, turn on the unit holding pressed the button B. Using the Joystick select the option of booting from the USB.
To install W7 select the 24 Gb unit, click in advance, and format.
When the installation of W7 is done, install the WiFi, reboot and run windows update. Once you have installed the updates then install the touch screen driver. Check the device manager, you will find a device marked with !, update the driver using the files in the folder EC_IO downloaded from Viliv.
Keep installing the rest of the software download the Viliv. For CubeUI you will need to download Air from Adobe.

Windows 7 Index for the Viliv x70. Average 3.48

As comparison point here is the Index for the Fujitsu P1610. Average 3.02

The Viliv X70 overall performs better than my P1610 with a better CPU. The Viliv X70 only needs one thing, a HID for the touch screen . What a crime to have a wonderful device like this no using fully all Touch features of Windows 7 and Office (No ink support).

What my coworkers think about the Viliv x70

I showed today the x70 to my coworkers, IT Pros with many years of experience. In a brief interview I asked them two simple questions: What they like it and what they did not like it.
