Starting with the PMPs for which the Viliv brand was initially known, Yukying announced the P3 (left), a device that, with its 3.7-inch AMOLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode) display, resembles a cellular phone, but doesn't include a broadband radio. Since the device does reportedly provide web browsing (via WiFi), you can think of it as Viliv's version of Apple's iPod Touch.According to Yukyung, the P3 runs both Windows CE 6.0 or Google's Android -- it may be booted into either -- on an 800MHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU (manufacturer unspecified). The PMP comes with an unstated amount of RAM, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of flash storage, and a microSD slot, the company adds.
Yukyung says the P3 includes an accelerometer, a vibration motor, WiFi, and an optional receiver for Korea's T-DMB (terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting) television service. The device is said to deliver 800 x 600 pixel screen resolution and to measure 4.57 x 2.46 x 0.38 inches.
A larger PMP, the HD5 (right), offers the same 800 x 600 resolution, but spreads the pixels onto a five-inch (non-AMOLED) screen, and is claimed to deliver 1080p HD video playback (MKV format) via an included HDMI port. Yukyung does not specify the CPU for the model, but does allow that the OS is Windows CE 6.0 only, while storage can once again be 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of flash.
The HD5 also has a SDHC slot and, again, optional T-DMB receiver, with measurements of 5.12 x 3.27 x 0.51 inches. Whether this model can browse the web was left unstated, but Viliv does not list WiFi as being included on this model.
Atom-powered devices run Windows 7
Viliv's newly announced N5 reminds us of the Fujitsu UH900, announced last month. It features a 4.8-inch touchscreen, expected of a MID (mobile internet device), but, like the Fujitsu product, adds a keyboard and a netbook-like clamshell form factor.
According to Viliv, the N5 (below) runs Windows 7 Home Premium on an Intel Atom Z520 processor clocked at 1.33MHz, presumably with the usual SCH US15W northbridge/southbridge. The device features 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 32GB SSD (solid state disk), and a GPS receiver using the SiRF starIII chipset, the company adds.
Yukyung says the N5 includes both 802.11b/g wireless networking and Bluetooth 2.0, while GSM, CDMA, and WiMAX broadband modems will be available options. Other facilities are quite netbook-like, including the QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 megapixel webcam, optical mouse, and microSD expansion slot.
Yukyung claims that the N5's battery can deliver up to five hours of operation. Featuring USB host and device ports, the unit measures 6.77 x 3.38 x 0.98 inches and weighs just 14 ounces, the company adds.
Meanwhile, what appears to be Yukyung's largest device to date appeared in the form of the S10 Blade (above), a netbook whose multi-touch screen folds over its keyboard, converting the device into a tablet. The Blade has a 10.1-inch display with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, and 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB hard disk drives, says the company.
According to Yukyung, the S10 Blade runs Windows 7 Home Premium on a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor or a 2.0GHz Z550. Again, 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0 networking are said to be standard, while CDMA, GSM, and WiMAX broadband connectivity are optional.
Yukyung adds that the S10 Blade has a webcam (resolution unspecified), USB host and device ports, a headphone output, stereo speakers, an SDHC expansion slot, and "extraordinarily long battery life" (not detailed further). The 2.67-pound device also has a video output that is said to support composite, component, or S-Video connections.
Finally, Yukyung announced updates to its previously released S5 and X70 MIDs. Featuring the same 4.8- and 7-inch screens, respectively, as before, the MIDs have now been upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7, according to the company.
