Viliv S7 Hits Dynamism From $629
Importers Dynamism have released pricing and specification details for the Viliv S7, the latest ultraportable touchscreen device from the Korean company. Coming after the surprisingly popular S5 and well-received X70, the S7 adds a QWERTY keyboard and uses a more traditional netbook-style form-factor; according to Dynamism, when it drops in the US it'll be priced from $629.
That gets you the entry-level S7 complete with Intel's 1.33GHz Z520 processor, 1GB of RAM and a 60GB hard-drive. Next up is the S7/32ssd, which as the name suggests switches out the HDD for a 32GB SSD, for $659. Finally there's the S7/32ssd/3G, which adds in an integrated HSPA modem along with the 32GB solid-state drive, for $799. That 3G modem is expected to be voice-capable, so you could feasibly – and assuming you have deep pockets in every sense – leave your cellphone at home and rely on the S7 for calls.
No exact word on when Dynamism will get their stock in, but we're hearing from several bloggers in North America and Europe that demo units are flying out from Viliv themselves. That would certainly suggest that the S7 is imminent.
