Viliv UMPC U5


[CES 2008] If you feel that the Viliv UMPC isn't exactly your type of device to carry around for work, perhaps you will find the Viliv UMPC U5 more your cup of tea. It also comes with a QWERTY keyboard, although the display on this does not slide upwards like the Viliv UMPC. Instead, the QWERTY keyboard is split down the middle, separated by a widescreen WSVGA display. Sounds perfect for BlackBerry lovers who love thumb-typing. All the specifications are the same as the Viliv UMPC, save for the display size and weight. It is tipped to hit the streets sometime this Q3 for $700 or $800.

Each to their own, Al.

Personally I love thumb-boards, both slide down an case mounted. I have used a Treo for a couple of years and I find this type of addition to a UMPC particularly useful.

When I want to touch type, I can bring a bluetooth foldup keyboard with me.

I like the diversity of the UMPC market at the moment and hope it does not get monopolised by a one size/design fits all approach.

I do not like that type of keyboard at all. Why not use a proven popular and easy to use conventional clamshell so that a touch type keyboard would be used?
