Medfield. That’s the name I was looking for for the name of the generation following Moorestown.

What’s so great about a slider? I think sliders are a terrible design, and I’ll never buy a phone or other device that uses a slide design.

This looks great. I love my S5, so I won’t be buying a replacement until Moorestown (or Pineview/field/whatever the next gen is?), but still, I think I will go with some sort of flip device when I do.

I believe there are patents protecting the clamshell covertible form, which is why it’s not that common and demands a premium. Having had a zaurus C3100 and an 860 before then, I personally didn’t find the convertibility a big thing, and it can add to weight or cause reliability problems so I’d rather have thinner lighter stronger cheaper if possible.

Maybe this viliv will be a fairly priced and better made version of the Umid Mx, and a more fully-featured version of the Sharp PC-Z1, and a much cheaper alternative to the rediculously pricey Fujitu UMPCs?

From what Viliv has offered so far, I think this one will be larger and heavier than the M2. Now I’ve been spoiled by the extremely light weight of M1, it’ll be very hard to accept any heavier.

Now it becomes the choice of which of these products the N5 or M2 comes out in the US with 3g and good specs first. I believe Umid royally screwed up by delaying the release of the m2 while they had the ability to reap the profits from it. By delaying this long to release a revamped product, they now have extremely similar competition in the small clamshell design category. Depending how large this ends up being, and chippy/jkk’s reviews on it, along with its release date and price, will decide which of the two I end up purchasing. I see these being sold at an very similar price point, perhaps the N5 will be priced cheaper, and have better battery life which will be a huge factor.

7″ tablet for home use or 4.8″/5″ OQO-style slider for home and mobility,that’s “I” of course.

lol “I” want a slider! Corrected for you!

Seriously tho, cool product, just not my cup of tea. I’ll wait for jkk to review this and then mod the bajesus’ outta it and make it into a slider
