Viliv N5 MID set to debut at CES

We've already gotten up close with the S10 Blade that Viliv is promising to show off at CES, but this invitation is the first we've heard of the company's N5 mobile internet device, which is also slated to debut at the show. As you can see above, this one is a clamshell MID, and packs a 4.8-inch multitouch display, a fully QWERTY keyboard, and 3G, WiFi, and GPS capabilities. Also on track for an official launch: the dual-boot Windows CE / Android Viliv P3, and the Windows CE-based, 1080p video-playing HD5 PMP.

Too late.
Was waiting for that one but decided to buy a netbook instead for days when I don't feel like carrying the core i7 notebook around in my backpack.

[jol Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:18PM]

I can see from the picture that it also comes high heel sticks on the back.

@ai4281
Girls' Generation FTW!!! :D

[lettcco Posted Dec 24th 2009 11:12AM]

wow...

either there is a lot of Korean readers on Engadget or

a lot of old fart semi-pedo who knows their target by name.

I am hoping it's the former.

[pkoen Posted Dec 24th 2009 2:18PM]

@lettcco They are entertainers and I gather they are very popular, not just in Korea...

[SpuddPotatto Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:20PM]

huh? viliv what? oh, sorry i was distracted by yoona.

[yyandrew Posted Dec 23rd 2009 4:52PM]

@SpuddPotatto i knew i'd find a comment like this here ... danged peverted geeks on this site :P act like you've never seen a pretty girl before

[JP23 Posted Dec 23rd 2009 5:38PM]

@yyandrew
Would have to come out of the basement for that.

[horchata Posted Dec 23rd 2009 7:18PM]

@yyandrew

Atrocity... it doesn't take a pervert to like Yoona. She's one of the most popular celebs in Korea.

Mmm, now I want some Yuri and Jessica.

[chyansie Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:45PM]

@yyandrew
Well it's Yoona. You'd never understand =)

[chyansie Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:46PM]

@horchata

+100
Yeah needs some Jessica on Engadget. Editors take note. =D

[HW90 Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:24PM]

I think techie's should make their own holiday for stocking up on tech sometime in April,

that seems to be the time when all the good things at CES are released by (note how I said good not amazing)

[One Love Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:35PM]

I know what I want for Christmas Santa and its not that viliv mid thingy.

[HW90 Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:44PM]

@One Love

is it the girl in the Pic or one of the Samsung girls?

[iCello Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:27PM]

Why not an android based 1080p playing device?

[xsre Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:29PM]

Yoona rox

[TikiTeko Posted Dec 23rd 2009 3:30PM]

Hmmm... they could have either use a different outfit or use another background color... on my phone all I see is a floating head

[SirNoDroin Posted Dec 23rd 2009 4:04PM]

it's a shop - I can tell from the pixels and having seen a lot of shops in my time

[unzarjones Posted Dec 23rd 2009 4:07PM]

Seems like a lot of Geeks Without Girls post on Engadget.

[chyansie Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:48PM]

@unzarjones

Yeah. Like yourself. =]

[unzarjones Posted Dec 24th 2009 2:30AM]

@chyansie Not quite. Ten years with the same woman takes me out of the drooling over a photo company.

[THEPMAC Posted Dec 25th 2009 12:37PM]

@unzarjones Aren't you cool. I bet you feel awesome about yourself.

[Xent Posted Dec 23rd 2009 4:11PM]

Yoona~!

[max1001 Posted Dec 23rd 2009 4:41PM]

Wow. A Korean pop star that doesn't look like she has tons of plastic surgery.

[THEPMAC Posted Dec 25th 2009 12:39PM]

@max1001

[mianmian Posted Dec 23rd 2009 4:48PM]

Fail.

She is obviously much hotter than the device.

[mynameisjay Posted Dec 23rd 2009 4:48PM]

That girl has absolutely no idea what the hell she is holding.

[chyansie Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:49PM]

@(Unverified)

She's a tech geek if you know what you're talking about. =]
I bet fans will agree. lol

[SpuddPotatto Posted Dec 23rd 2009 11:22PM]

@chyansie

i think maybe "unverified" is talking about the fact that the gadget is 'shopped onto her hand

[Eternal Density Posted Dec 23rd 2009 5:01PM]

Not bad.
What's she holding?

[dinoSnake Posted Dec 23rd 2009 11:37PM]

@Eternal Density : A horribly Photoshopped-in, obviously fake (photography-wise) small palmtop computer, that's what she's "holding".

Let's see: angle of palm to computer doesn't match, contrast of hand to computer doesn't match, lighting doesn't match, overall exposure doesn't match...

Photoshopdisasters.com, you watching this? It's making my skin crawl.

*Almost* as bad as Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes posters

Hands from Sasquatch, anyone?

[technognu Posted Dec 23rd 2009 5:26PM]

did you guys see a MID in that picture? i only saw a girl..


also i came

[solarpos Posted Dec 23rd 2009 5:27PM]

Who can get a date with her? You? Nah.........

[goseki Posted Dec 23rd 2009 6:27PM]

@solarpos I see what you did there! you berry crebba ...

[cppchriscpp Posted Dec 23rd 2009 6:32PM]

What did they steal the M2?

Actually, I kind of think they did. Oh well, whoever brings the best device to market in reasonable time will win my purchase. (Granted the price is right, too, of course.)

[honglyshin Posted Dec 23rd 2009 9:54PM]

YOONA!!!!!

SNSD ftw

[honglyshin Posted Dec 23rd 2009 9:56PM]

YOONA!!!

SNSD ftw

[koolaiem Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:35PM]

Holy mother of god.... Here are more people that know Yoona than I have ever thought

[The REAL Lol Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:36PM]

Still waiting for the M2; makes you wonder if the M2 will actually be released in the u.s./japan this year. (the actual version, not a konjinsha/onkyo rebrand.)

[cppchriscpp Posted Dec 24th 2009 4:11AM]

@The REAL Lol I've lost hope on this year; hoping early first quarter of next year. I emailed dynamism who emailed the company a week or two ago and they told me they'd give me a response when they heard from umid.

Nothing. :

[chyansie Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:44PM]

YOONA!!

SNSD FTW!

I'm so happy to see a SNSD member on Engadget. lol

[cruzer Posted Dec 23rd 2009 10:48PM]

lol, more comments about Yoona than the gadget. Yoona I love you. :)
