Cheapest Viliv Promotion Pack X70EX EXP P 7-Inch Net-Tablet PC

I purchased the Viliv SX7 when it first came out and was really looking forward to something with a bigger screen than the Viliv S5 that I had already purchased. I have been disappointed since day one. Most recently, I took it on a short trip just for web browsing and placed it in its case inside a couple of shirts inside of my suite case. Long story short; the screen somehow broke while in the trunk of the car yet a glass vase right next to it survived just fine.

Pros
Decent screen
Nice case
Love that it suspends when the case is closed

Cons
Fragile screen!
On screen keyboard is terrible!
Despite being resistive touch, the screen can't handle handwriting recognition
Slow SSD even compared to many hard drives
1GB memory is insufficient for Windows 7 or even XP, everything runs slow
Uncomfortable to hold
Poorly implemented USB port is difficult to access, won't accommodate anything but the thinnest devices and there's only 1
USB is underpowered and won't run most USB drives that netbooks handle easily
Hard drive is frightfully small
Battery discharges even when off
Included software is nearly useless
Video out port is proprietary

PS the Viliv S5 is being sent in for repair for the second time due to a faulty power connection port.Get more detail about Viliv Promotion Pack X70EX EXP P 7-Inch Net-Tablet PC.

not having the patience to wait for the rumored apple tablet computer i decided to give the villiv a try as the specs were not bad. first off, the build quality seems to be pretty high. very sold, and somewhat heavy, feel to it. not the kind of device that you will hold in one hand while reading etc. definitely not a 'kindle'.

variety of ports is good, a full size usb port is included. only thing missing is ethernet. the real thing holding this device back is the software. in this age shipping a touch screen tablet computer with windows XP is just plain silly. xp is already outdated as it is, but try running it on such a tiny screen and its an exercise in frustration. sure, with the stylus you can hit keys pretty accurately but thats not what a touch screen should be about in 2009. i felt like a chicken pecking at corn. and of course, no gestures like zooming or scrolling as with an itouch. the qube interface is cute but hardly enough. you constantly have to jump to xp to have any real stuff done.

the main reason why i got this device was for its gps capability. unfortunately i could not get this to work. neither with ms streets and trips nor garmin mobile pc. not once did any software get a link to a satellite. probably just defective. but at least villiv should have included a utility for checking out the gps module. instead there was only one puny app to change the baud rate.

as for speed, the villiv not not disappoint in this area. pretty responsive for such a small machine. one word of caution, DO NOT GET THE 16GB VERSION. you are only left with something like 4GB for your own stuff. rest is used by the system (xp, hidden restore partition, etc). also do not password protect your account. you will not be able to logon from the welcome screen as the soft keyboard cannot be brought up at this point. (had to hook up a usb keyboard. image this happens while traveling. villiv, are you listening?)

in conclusion, if you need a mobile device that runs full fledged windows xp the villiv might just be the gadget for you. Get more detail about Viliv Promotion Pack X70EX EXP P 7-Inch Net-Tablet PC.
