Yukyung's intriguing Viliv P3 (right) was first shown off at a January CES press event, where the manufacturer previewed a bevy of devices. (The others included the recently shipped HD5, a five-inch PMP that runs Windows CE; the N5, an Atom-based clamshell device; and the S10 Blade, a convertible netbook.)Of the above, the P3 Prime is arguably the most interesting, since it provides web browsing via Wi-Fi and is bootable into either Windows CE 6.0 or Google's Android (version unstated, as far as we can see). In other words, the device amounts to Viliv's version of Apple's iPod Touch, allowing purchasers to experience mobile operating systems without the expense of a new cellular contract.

Details of the P3 Prime appeared on Yukyung's Viliv website for the first time today, suggesting that the device is finally ready to ship. Yukyung said in January that the P3 would feature an 800MHz ARM Cortex-A8, from 8GB to 32GB of flash storage, and a microSD slot. The company further cited a 3.7-inch AMOLED display with a capacitive touchscreen.
Yukyung also said the P3 would include an accelerometer, a vibration motor, Wi-Fi, and an optional receiver for Korea's T-DMB (terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting) service. Reconfirming those details, the company adds that the device delivers 800 x 600 pixel resolution, measures 4.57 x 2.46 x 0.38 inches, and weighs just 3.7 ounces (105g).

According to Yukyung, the P3 Prime can play music for 31 hours before it needs recharging. We didn't see a similar specification for video, but the company says the P3 can output 720p via the HDMI port pictured above. In addition to its optional T-DMB tuner, the device comes with an FM receiver, the company says.
