Yukyung Viliv S5
Very long battery life ; crams Netbook features into a compact, portable size
Tiny 4.8-inch screen is almost impossible to read ; difficult-to-use virtual keyboard ; high price
Too large to be a smart device, too small to be a useful Netbook, the import-only Viliv S5 is a neat proof-of-concept that is best for portable media playing.

Small wonder
I bought this to replace my failing PDA. My PDA was top of the line years ago and there haven't been any real improvements since. So why plunk down $400 on another PDA that needs special software when this thing runs XP! And it really DOES run it. The Vil...
Boots fast. Runs WinXP (have also seen references that some ship with Vista w/upgrade to Win7). Onscreen keyboard button. Display on/off button. Bright display. Goes to sleep and wakes up in seconds. Cold boots in ~1 minute, shuts down in 30 secs ; This t...
