Korean firm Viliv has rolled out two new gadgets at the CES, one a small handheld UMPC and the other a convertible netbook. I spent some time cruising their exhibit at the CES but it was so crowded I couldn’t get any good photos of the two new devices. Some friends got some good pics so I will share those to show what the new Viliv devices look like.
First up, the N5 picks up where the S5 I have covered in the past leaves off. Viliv took the 5-inch device and added a QWERTY keyboard. This will make some people happy, I am sure, although personally I don’t get much value from a very small keyboard like this. The folks at pocketables were able to capture a photo of the N5 that I am sharing here.
The specs on the N5 are similar to that of the S5:
- Atom Z520- 1.33 GHz
- Windows 7
- 1 GB RAM
- Wi-Fi, 3G or WiMAX optional
- GPS, Bluetooth, Webcam
- 4.8-inch 1024×600 touch screen
- 32 GB SSD
The other device that Viliv has been showcasing at CES is a departure for them, as the S10 Blade is the company’s first foray into the convertible netbook world. The S10 has a 10-inch swivel screen and a full keyboard, making it a complete netbook.
Viliv has opted to go with a higher resolution screen than on most 10-inch netbooks, and the 1366×768 is a nice touch. They also are offering a complete SSD selection, from 32 to 128 GB. This is coupled with a 2 GHz Atom processor to keep things moving along. The picture is from our friends at Liliputing.
S10 Blade specs:
- Atom Z530 (1.8 GHz) or Z550 (2 GHz)
- Windows 7 Home Premium (touch enabled)
- 10.1-inch multitouch screen
- SSD- 32, 64, 128 GB
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, WiMAX optional
- Webcam
- 3 USB
- 2.67 pounds
Pricing for the two new devices will be determined later.
