I wish I can install XP on my Archos 5. Then I'll be more than happy than anyone on this Earth. It'll be like cheese over butter...]]>Jun 8th 2009 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 8th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.indamixx.com/index.php . Creative stuff... software to draw, write, make music.

I am seriously stoked by this news. Woo hoo. Price looks excellent.

I'll give them my email and pre order if they want. I'd like a 60GB or larger hard drive though. SSD would make it prohibitively expensive for me.]]>Jun 8th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 8th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 8th 2009 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 8th 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 8th 2009 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/
You know what would be the smartest thing they could have done? Put a replaceable hard drive / ram slot in the battery compartment, so you remove the battery and voila, you can swap out the drive / add more RAM. Seeing as all machines come with 1GB of RAM, I wonder if that is the Maximum for the X70. I bet it kills battery to have all those charged memory cells.]]>Jun 8th 2009 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/
I'll take the 1.3 / 32 and get the usb wireless from whomever I feel like, rather than be stuck ... depends, if the internal HSPA is tied to a cheap plan, maybe that.

Also, I thought VIliv advertized the device as a Windows XP / Linux MID, so there may be a linux distro optimized for this.]]>Jun 8th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 8th 2009 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 8th 2009 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 9th 2009 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/I am looking at the Meizu M8 (the one comming out in march of 2010), Touch HD and the up and comming Tegra platform on a Mobile phone and you can see the MID market being turned into a mobile phone with all the features of the MID devices.

P.S.
I am saving up my pennies for phone with the tegra platform. all other devices will be a was of you money so don't buy the iPhone,the ZuneHD, Plam Pre or the Bold.]]>Jun 9th 2009 4:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jun 9th 2009 5:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/
Don't get me wrong, I like the device, just not the MID label Engadget's attached to it.]]>Jun 9th 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jul 2nd 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Jul 2nd 2009 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Aug 8th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/
I've asked Viliv and Dynamism to comment on this - if this can't be fixed, I'm going to be asking for a refund...]]>Aug 11th 2009 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/Spending my winter in Europe I ordered this stupid thing from dynamism while my wife was visiting the States. She brought it back from USA yesterday. I turned it on and Vista started the updating and restarting procedure for all the updates which took for ever. After that I decided to run the viliv manager and update the whatever drivers it has. Did not touch or modify anything. The thing turned out to be a brick. It's touchscreen will not work . The calibration screen does not come on.I had to use an external mouse to try to figure out a solution although I am not an expert and I do not want to be either. No I did not find any. There is no recovery disk in the package. The viliv's site does not have any recovery software. This is not the only one though. Although I bought the most expensive version from dynamism I can not find any GPS software or a windows 7 upgrade as it was paid for. Keep in mind I am not a computer engineer and I do not want to be one. I do not want to spend my time on the internet trying to configure something which should have been configured with my 16 pluShundred dollars I spent for the stupid thing.
DO NOT BUY THIS VILIV X70 THING. IT SUCKS.]]>Sep 7th 2009 6:41PM
