Viliv's Atom-powered S5 MID gets detailed and pictured
Viliv got us salivating when it introduced the S5 MID and S7 UMPC back at IDF, and now we've got a few tasty updates on both. Starting with the former, we've learned via an interview with parent company Yukyung that the S5 MID will come packing a 1.33GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 1.8-inch hard drive (1.3-inch when paired with a WiBro module in South Korea), a 4.8-inch 800 x 480 resolution touchscreen, integrated GPS / DMB and a primary battery good for up to six hours of use. The OS will be a home cooked system that's fairly attractive, though the outfit has made clear that WinXP versions will be available in the future. Speaking of the future, the currently unpriced S5 is expected to ship in South Korea this coming January or February, while the S7 is still on track for release sometime after that.[Via Slashgear]

Priced at ???549,000 (about $584) for 30GB of storage or ???599,000 (about $637) for 60GB. %Gallery-6339%[Via AVING]
Yukyung intros Viliv X7 GPS / PMP unit
It's been less than a month since Korea's Yukyung took the wraps off its Viliv X2 PMP navigator, but it seems that the company has already decided to further expand the line, with it now introducing its Viliv X7 unit. As with the X2, this one's available with your choice of 4GB or 8GB of NAND flash memory, along with a 7-inch 800x480 display, a rear view camera, and an SD/SDHC slot for further expansion. As is par for the course, the device also comes packed with all the usual PMP features, as well as an integrated DMB TV tuner, TPEG support for traffic alerts and, yes, even karaoke. Look for it to set you back 549,000 won for 4GB model and 629,000 won for the 8GB (or roughly $595-$680).
Yukyung's Viliv X2 PMP navigator: the P2 all grown up
Yukyung's got a new Viliv PMP navigator set for launch in S.Korea: the X2. Looking every bit like the P2 found bouncing around the US, the X2 replaces its predecessor's hard disk with either 4GB or 8GB of solid state flash while introducing SiRFstar III navigation and SD/SDHC expansion. Of course, it also packs a DMB receiver for Korean mobile TV which they'll certainly trim if this thing ever comes Stateside.
