Remember Viliv Vant X70 PMP that was first introduced at CES 2008? Turns out it has a new nephew (only recently introduced), coming with the name X70 Atom Communication MID. This stunning handheld features a 7-inch WSVGA touchscreen, a 1.33GHz Atom Z520 processor, 1GB of RAM and Windows XP or Linux at your choice. The new portable MID offers 30GB / 60GB HDD capacities or 8GB / 16GB in case you prefer SSD flavor. Additionally, you get a USB port, a built-in mic, stereo speakers, SD / SDHC card reader, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi connectivity and optional WiMAX / HSDPA capabilities. Regretfully, the X70 monster has no pricing or availability details but we do hope to get our hands on one of those devices ASAP.
Update1: The good guys at jkOnTheRun have managed to get their hands on this bad-boy MID, and taking their words, the X70 model is quite impressive and even more solid comparing to the S5 version, with a brilliant 7-inch, 1024 × 600 display through the integrated 3G module and the 32GB SSD storage. Hit the link to see their video preview.
Update2: Looks like Dynamism, a US retailer, has put up a Viliv X70 product page with a starting price of $599, which apparently is is the same price as the S5. Regretfully, there’s no word about an official release date but we will update whenever it happens.
