Thank you Engadget for posting this, I've updated my Viliv with this and it's what I've been waiting for since I got the thing. I literally screamed out loud when I saw the headline.
Other people seem to be having sensitivity issues, I have had no such thing. The old driver registered a click as just tap, whereas the new one registers it as tap and RELEASE, which I think is what's making people think that there is reduced sensitivity.
If you have a Viliv S5 Premium 3G running Windows 7 I highly recommend you do this ASAP. You get the proper keyboard, Aero Snap works properly every time in every orientation, login with a password is now easy, handwriting recognition & ink in office, flicks, way better calibration, the touch point instead of a mouse & "tap and hold to right click" now works in all situations including the start menu & taskbar.
And just the simple fact it turns what was a glorified touch mouse into an actual tablet PC input.
Finally, kudos to Viliv for getting this to work on a PS/2 connection, from what I understood previously it wasn't possible or at least hadn't been done yet before.
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
