Viliv X5 DIC low on connectivity

[CES 2008] The Viliv X5 DIC is the lowest end of the the X5 range, as it shares all the same hardware specifications with the X5 VANT and the X5 AIO, but loses out in terms of connectivity. There will be no internal GPS chipset, no WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity or even mobile TV. There is also no option to add an HSDPA/WiBRO/WiMAX module so you can forget about going online with the X5 DIC. As you can tell from the name, the X5 DIC comes with an 11-language dictionary, making this suitable for kids and college students alike who are keen to pick up a new language. I suppose it would come especially handy when you’re watching a movie and want to find out the meaning of an unknown word in the subtitles. It is estimated that the Viliv X5 DIC will hit the streets sometime this March for approximately $600.
