[MrDarion98]

"hey dude lets go home and look up how to get to the store" says the dude .......the other dude says,"we dont have to go home i have a computer in my pocket"....then he says WTF!!

[cruzz903]

but will it run crysis?

[MetalMonsterGuitar]

it should hav vista

[SQNcom]

The gentleman giving this review sounds and looks a little like Alan Rickman AKA Hans Gruber, the villain in Die Hard.

I love the reviews, keep them coming.

Can you use this device as a cell phone considering it has a SIM card slot and HSPA compatible (Bell)?

[ThePhotografer]

ok, seriously. if this is close o the best, then what would be considered better slate?

[catoracto]

can it play gta 4?

[JandAproducts]

omfg accent :D thats 100% finglish :D finish people often speak with that accent and we call it finglish xD well i agree with sebs30v, so dont be hard on this guy :D i know it is hard to some people speak english with proper accent cause our language its very hard and different. but thats enough for the language lesson and thx for the great review!

[fdn777]

Thanks for the review. What i liked in this machine is that it runs windows as android is not mature enough.However microsoft must provide a transformation package so that the OS will be more finger friendly. I did not like the screen though, it has a lot of reflections and is not that bright.(comparing with the screen of my samsung NC10). The second thing that made me unhappy is that it is too thick to be portable.

[S69NER]

can i change the solid state drive and put one with a higher memory?

[Jordiw00t]

question.. i really want to buy a touchscreen laptop or tablet.

what do you recommend? (please, say a type of laptop or tablet or netbook with touchscreen)

i only have a budget of like 600 euro's.

[Captiancavey]

@Jordiw00t It really depends what you want to do with it. This device is great..if you need a windows based device. If you like netbook devices..viliv makes some good stuff for the price. If you want a good sofa surfer just for internet, video and games...hurts me to say, but iPad is nice. Check out JKK's site.

products(DOT) jkkmobile (DOT) com Sorry can't post links.

Good luck!

[cpnhowdy]

Im thinking of getting this for doing some mobile trading with Metatrader.

People that have one how is the battery life? Can I expect 5 hours of use?

[fuckitsgay]

hahaha such an amazing thing and it cant even take pics looool

[Captiancavey]

@fuckitsgay ,,,,,mine takes pics. Do you even own one? I hear a Fanboy.

[fuckitsgay]

@Captiancavey hahahahahahah fanboy for what ... HTC lmaooooooo i think this phone completely pwns but i hvnt rli done any research on this so i didnt reli know much about it. and i didnt c the lens to take pics so i asumed it couldnt

[Captiancavey]

@fuckitsgay It's not a phone. It's a hand held PC that runs Windows XP or 7 that can make calls. There is a camera in the front to do video for chat and it can take pics as well.

[AntiAlGore001]

@fuckitsgay

If you want to take pictures how about you buy a camera. The Viliv X70 is a COMPUTER.

[nls8520]

Were you using WIFI or 3G during this test?

[jkkmobile]

@nls8520 on 3g

[nls8520]

@jkkmobile May I ask is there a monthly fee like the iPad with ATT? Also how do you like the device a year later? Recommended?

[Captiancavey]

@nls8520 you would have to pay for a data plan through ATT or T-Mobile if you buy the one that has a the Sim Card slot. I have one without the sim card slot (x70 EX) and I love it. It does have it's limitations, but you have to think about what your going to use it for. If it's just for surfing the web..Ipad would be a better choice. For productivity...MS word..excel...This is the device for you. Plus it has a GPS! Bonus!

[jx4ever119]

@jkkmobile how u pay for the 3G? like Ipad I pay to the AT&T...

[MrHairyNutz]

@jkkmobile Can you use T-mobile for internet use?

Does this come already unlocked?

[thaian1308]

this or archos ?

[MrGodiskungen1]

How come you used Fastweb browser before you connected to the 3g?

Do you not have to be connected to use fastweb?

[pangrudy]

does the 3G ver of x70 allow the input of a sim card like the 3G ver of the s5?

[74l0nz]

on the site it says in the specs winxp as well as linux, does anyone know if u can actually get this tablet with a linux distro preinstalled or do u have to install it urself ?

[McHaleJohn]

@Mistiestblue because the X70 is pretty crap!!!! - beleive me I have one! and I hate Ipad's and thought like you!!! 

[Captiancavey]

@McHaleJohn Just noticed you posed the same thing on almost every X70 post. I use mine everyday and it is a very good unit. You may either have a bad unit or just have your expectations set too high. Your running windows on a portable device....memory usage and CPU power here are limited....for what it is and does...you can't beat it.

[AntiAlGore001]

@McHaleJohn

If you think the X70 is crap, then what you are looking for probably doesn't exist yet. Sort of like complaining about a pocket sized cell phone ten years ago because it doesn't have GPS.

[McHaleJohn]

take everywhere? whip out at a moments notice? surf the net etc Nope, windows is really rubbish for fingers, Vilivs software is really flakey, the onscreen keyboard is really hard to use and sometimes just doesnt work at all - wifi connection is poor, often losing connection, it is heavy, the data 3g part is most of the time not picking up or really slow, apart from that go for it battery life? you will be lucky to get 3hours!

[lovinnia]

your channel is a gadget's heaven :|

[jywh2005]

I prefer Hanvon BC10C which has a bigger screen and about the same price.

[Mistiestblue]

@FizzyWodawg Amen

[Naruto67867]

can i use my g15 on it?

[artwel123]

the dumbski looks like hes showing off a mirror.. borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[mike26n6]

does this play flash videos and applications?

[jkkmobile]

@mike26n6 Sure it plays.. it's a normal PC

[uulaitai1]

better than ifail! lol

[sebs30v]

Oh come on guys y'all to hard on this jkk dude. He is foreign after all. I too get tired of his accent sometimes and he mumbles a lot, LOL You can't please everybody man, thank you for the review. Damn people bitch and moan all day. Dirtbags.

[hustlaz2k]

@sebs30v yeah u were right.at least he can talk your language.can u guys talk his language?

[ireplycosuarestupid]

Here is some criticism for jkk to improve:

1.Dont always use the same words such as 'cool', 'good feel' to describe the products.

2.Prepare for the meeting, talk about specs like the exact weight instead of always saying light. Cmon, you are reviewing umpc, they are always light.

3.On your site, maybe do some write-ups instead of just vid reviews. It is tedious to replay vids to catch keypoints on your reviews.

[voidremoved]

@ireplycosuarestupid some criticism for you to improve your commenting:

if you want write ups and "specs" go to the company web site flick on the pic of this product then click specs, there u go.

vid review is better for showing "hands on" and seeing how it performs. this is not the only person in the world who reviews this thing.

[fdn777]

@ireplycosuarestupid Here is some criticism for you as well. I suppose that you can accept criticism as well. To the point: when you want to correct a person and criticise, GOOD MANNERS impose that you write a PERSONAL message stating your corrections and not post publicly. Besides, you care for correcting jkk , am i right? Posting publicly seems more like to make jkk sound unprofessional to others and make you sound like another wise guy from the internet who wants to play it smart.

[z75100130]

this guy is so unprepared and boring. wasted lots of viewers' time for 30 sec while of info. not very informative anyway.

[ilikecheetos12]

im holding off for the release of the lbook t9..which has 300more mhz more and under 400 bucks..their website doesnt even advertise it yet its suppose to come out in march 2010

[chickencombo3]

holy crap! look at how much stuff is running in the background... on the bottom right (closer to the end of the video)

[RMCKIE]

Where can I buy one.

[fatriff]

Lets not forget that this came out 7 months ago, apple innovators?? HAHA, tell me another good joke!!! This beats the ipad in every single area.

[studdedbelt177]

soo much 4 a pocket pc.............u have to have one big ass pocket

[CRaZeeSHoT]

ipad or this???? THIS FTW

[MindOFMadness1]

@CRaZeeSHoT iPads are actually pretty awesome, they have motion control, and a great touchscreen and keyboard, I have one.

[AntiAlGore001]

@MindOFMadness1

IPads are nice, but they are not much more than an oversized iPod. The Viliv X70 is an actual computer capable of running real computer software, which the iPad cannot do.

[REDSKULL180]

so which one is better? archos 9 or this?

[redz220]

Why do you keep looking around you ? XD

[dannyrawwwrr]

hes not lookin around him ;D hes looking at the camera screen which is on the left of the camera ;D:D:D:D

[Dirtyjerzy31]

I really enjoyed your review of the Viliv 70ex and it caused me to buy one. However, I can't get the grab and drag add on function to work the way you did with Mozzilla. Can you let me know which settings you chose? I can only get it to work when I hold the "A" button. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[jathomas0910]

what about Wimax..on there website they say wimax put can't find any info on it...we just got wimax in chicago

[tehnik333]

I just discovered that Dynamism is also offering a 128GB model. I have noticed that the author likes to "take the matters to its own hands" so if you still own the device could you pleas show how to make this change in DIY way. Or is it possible to change the hard drive or the memory?

[Garbanian]

Would you recommend this UMPC for someone? How does firefox run on this thing? I could end up doing my work with this! That would be so nice! Does the lower version still have wireless connectivity via 802.11/g/b? Thanks in advance!

[x70xchallengerx]

@Garbanian hm i think i know you :P

[Garbanian]

Creeper! ;3!

[GerardFreeman]

Will ooVoo work on this??/ can you down load ooVoo and video chat??

[diggingforgold]

My biggest concern is with Windows 7 support. Anyone got the X70 with Windows 7 running (with all drivers and utilities)?

[DarthRJ1]

i do, i do! it works well, just like a regular computer, but u need a good connection.

[dutch7150]

How would you rate this compared to the Samsung Q1 Ultra?

[rambinrose117]

Fantastic I'm going to get one and love your video

Thank you ever so much jkkmoble :)

[Ronaldinhoshop]

how do you use touch flo on mozilla. i have my viliv x 70,but for some reason i cant use touch flo. what do you do.

[tehnik333]

Great review! Any idea how ubuntu netbook remix will run on it? Possible cooperation with touch screen?

Linux is always an option with these netbook-type computers as first of all they are MEANT TO BE online, open for all the threats from internet. and second - they have limited recources and running full flagged antivirus/-spyware on these will make them even more slower. It's funny how security issues are almost never as a topic with these kind of reviews...

[jkkmobile]

It has the Z-series cpu with gm500 gpu and there are no good graphics drivers for linux.. so linux is not that good option for it.

I don't use antivirus/spyware sw.. i use my brains..

[tehnik333]

so you outsmarting the viruses... great idea. any advice for that?

[diggingforgold]

Just use common sense. Don't visit naughty sites (porn, warez). Use an email service that relies on the server to do virus scanning (gmail). Rely on a good, safe, and updated browser (firefox). Finally, keep backups.

[McHaleJohn]

@tehnik333 I bought mine off the back of all the apparantly good reviews and I am WELL DISAPPOINTED with it, in fact if anyone wants to buy in and will give me £400 it is yours!!! -paid well over £700 too!!!

[LauwereysM]

In belgium is the download speed 20mbs

[vradovic]

Hey nice video.

Thank you.

Can you please tell me something about WiMAX. I found they support WiMAX standard.

But I just wonder on which frequency they will work:

- 2.5 GHz or 3.5 GHz?

Thank you

[mariokid2115]

wimax is only in select cities across the US. I would recommend 3g and the mifi (look it up on google) if you need internet everywhere

[kodyro]

run linux on it

[lion857]

nice video JKK, as well as your other videos :) thanks. And don't mind some haters people envying you for your great videos. I really find your videos of any product are the most helpful and informative on the web, you don't miss any note and talk about every thing we need to know a bout it. I appreciate your time to make these videos. Thanks again

cheers :D

[everynicknameistaken]

I seek reviews on a gadget and I somehow always end up watching the ones with that guy and his finnish accent ;). They're the best. Thanx for them all!

[cclayhammer]

Okay, so you went inside and continued...I think that you should of edited out the first outdoor scene. Otherwise, the rest of the video is good, so I will give you four stars instead of one star.

[ArizonaWildcats]

I can't see shit, you fail! Go inside next time.

[jkkmobile]

Maybe you should have watched few seconds longer... i went inside..

[klucznik1000]

First of all, thx a lot for your reviews of s5 and x70ex. I found them very informative.

I would like to purchase one of them but they are not officially yet available in Europe. I know that you can get one via Amazon, EBay, etc. but will it be compatible with the European requirements, mainly 220-240V and 50 Hz ? I heard that s5 and x70ex sold in the US are for 100V and 60 Hz.

So, how did you get yours? And how do you charge them?

Thanks a million for a reply.

Regards from Belgium.

[ApaucalyptiK]

I'd like to know too... JKK please ? :)

I've pre ordered a x70 on dynamism, it should arrive soon and i don't want to kill my new baby.

[HighDef69]

It always amazes me that a company would build a 'widescreen' device & load it with standard promo videos. amazes me. I like the device.

[redmangos]

That screen is really reflective, like most other computer devices. I wonder why so many companies don't take care of that reflective screen problem...

[pedizzle77]

faster than my desktop

[pedizzle77]

where can u get it?

[jkkmobile]

From dynamism . com

[jkkmobile]

$599 to $879

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

ru Finnish?...u sounds like my friend from Finland.

[manbearhorse]

He is finnish.

[jkkmobile]

yep

[deryler]

thanks, very useful video

[igeekone]

It's pretty disappointing 2gb RAM isn't standard yet. 2gb makes a world of difference on system doing even lite multi-tasking.

[Subsanek]

Windows on the umpc is askew. I prefer Linux

[HaveYouSeenMikeHawk]

lol i like the setting on your video :D

[wwjoshdew]

JKK, if you have a Tablet PC and you put standard Windows XP Pro on it, is there a way to use the touch screen? Or do you HAVE to use Windows XP Tablet Edition? Is there any way you can test the HP Touch Smart Tablet?

[wwjoshdew]

What I meant by that was, can you install Software to enable the touch screen on a Tablet PC? You have XP on that device, but its standard windows xp right? Like, standard windows xp with touch screen drivers? I am just curious if you know of a way to use standard XP on a Tablet PC without using Windows XP Tablet Edtion. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

[orelsi1000]

Jkk I was wondering, what do you do for a living?

[zsmorr92]

He does this.

[GlockNinja]

wow, you are truly going mobile. Nice view.

[AMIIZix]

almost first lol

[pubtor]

sigh... no 2gb ram...

is there any way you could do a review on the Dell latitude E6400 or E6500

thanks keep up the great work.
