Digital Home Thoughts: Viliv S5 is One Sweet UMPC

"I owned a couple UMPC devices in the past (Samsung Q1 and Fujitsu U810), but then decided to stick with a MSI Wind netbook for my mobile computing needs. James has me actually considering a new slate ultra-portable computer though with his extensive posts on the upcoming Viliv S5 device. This computer is quite compact and has some great specs such as the 1.33 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 60GB hard drive, 4.8 inch 1024×600 resolution touch screen display, WiFi, Bluetooth, integrated GPS receiver, and Windows XP."

Looks pretty cool. Size-wise, about the length and width of the Nokia N800, but quite a bit thicker. $599 seems to be a pretty good price for what you get. This looks ideal for those that want everything in one package, but I'm going to stick with my combo of an Aspire One and iPod touch for my mobile computing needs.
