I second that,size comparison between S5,X70 and S7 is needed urgently.

Okay I have a small problem here. In myviliv website (english version) X70 is 210*117*22.5 and S7 is 210*117*26 but in umpcportal the sizes are a little different for S7 228/117/25 mm. Which one is the right one? I know, I know 2cm is not a big deal but I want to have a pretty realistic image of them both, cause I want to choose one of them, if X70 wins then I won’t wait for S7 and order one but if S7 wins then I have to wait. As a matter of fact I may wait anyway for a X70 vs S7 video.

Interestingly I found the following YouTube movie made on MWC 2009 in Barcelona. Its been incorrectly edited to imply its the X70 but in fact its a quick overview of the S7

For me the big bezel isn’t really a big issue. Sure it looks not that stylish, but on the other hand you have enough space for your thumbs when using it in tablet mode (otherwise you would touch the screen while holding it).
I’m also wondering what happened to the built-in GPS module which was mentioned in earlier specs. I couldn’t find any information about it in the current specs. Also I would like to know which connections the Multi I/O port will support.
I guess I just have to be patient until there is a full review available
So long.

As chhh already noted the border of the screen is big and awful then when it’s closed..the screen side is shorter than the keyboard side…
Definitely a cheap design!
The only good aspect is the long battery life…

Hopefully dynamism will announce the S7 in the next few months. I’d most likely pick up the $639 version since DMB is pretty much useless outside of Korea.

To be honest, I thought the price was pretty good considering what you are getting. A UMPC like this just a year or two back around have been around $1500.

Well, the price isn’t exactly student friendly, though I suppose I might have to suck it up and buy it anyway:)

ahhh, at a long last!
i’m only worried that by the time this sweetie becomes available in europe they’ll roll out hybrid lcd/e-ink displays to mass production and i’ll have to wait another year until there are devices like s7 utilizing those screens…
i wonder why wouldn’t they make the screen full size of the lid with as thin a bezel as it gets?
