Posted by ctitanic on Nov 17, 2009 | Comments
Pocketables has posted a very interesting review about the Kohjinsha PA. After ready it I arrived to this conclusion: Beauty is a very complicate criteria. I find the Series PA exterior design attractive.

Viliv S7 is not Windows Touch Compliant
Posted by ctitanic on Sep 01, 2009 | Comments
I have been asking some information about this device at UMPC Portal, and I got this screen shot from the Device Manager of this device.
In there you can see the Jastec RU Touch Screen Controller listed under Mice and nothing listed under HID Compliant Devices. This means that if Windows 7 is installed you will be missing all the Touch Screen features that come in this OS. Another device that is not Windows Touch Compliant....

Few notes about W7 in a Viliv X70
Posted by ctitanic on Aug 28, 2009 | Comments
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...
Crime and punishment
Posted by ctitanic on Aug 26, 2009 | Comments
The Crime: Install Windows XP Home Edition in a Viliv X70. Punishment: Keep using it without enjoying all the features touch relative available in Windows 7.
The device performs very well, here is the Crystalmark score:
One of the best scores I have seen thanks to a super fast SSD. It’s without any doubt faster than my P1610. Thanks God, I have been authorized to install W7 in this demo device and I’ll do...

Viliv X70, first Impressions
Posted by ctitanic on Aug 23, 2009 | Comments
I received a Viliv X70 review from Dynamism and I have prepared a short video for my Spanish site I the video has subtitles in English, so do not worry I you wont have to learn Spanish.
So far, the design is what have impressed me most of all. This UMPC looks really good, the space around the screen is well utilized and as result the device looks smaller than other devices with the same screen size.

The Giant iPod Netbook Thingie Cometh?
Posted by Zealot on Jul 13, 2009 | Comments
Last week I suggested that based on all the hints from Taiwan screen vendors and others, we could be seeing the long awaited Apple “Giant iPod Netbook Thingie” (I will be copywriting that term later tonight, so hands off Steve Jobs) in September.
