Holy cow...I've never heard of this unit..but appears to be a great alternative to Archos if you can go nuts with it (modifying).

Why the ***** have I never heard of this? I need to do some research.

Bought one, looks & sounds awesome. I usually don't get extended warranties but it was so cheap to do. Square trade was 34.99(3 year) but if you use the code "father" it knocks off $7.00. I went a step further and added accidental coverage for $15 but with the coupon it reduced it to a total of $39.99. I guess the coupon is for 25% off.

Now that the Viliv S5 and X70 (atom based) are likely to start meeting demand and shipping in decent quantities soon, it's not surprising that this device and the Samsung Q1 are on sale today. But this device is 1/2 the cost of the S5 and X70 right now. This is quite a deal for what it is, and I'd probably buy this over a F500bt for my car, but after you see the S5 and X70, it makes pulling the trigger on this sorta hard. still.. for the price, tempting.

Looks like too much fun at the price to resist. Anyone know if the RAM is upgradeable?

This is tempting, it would make a great car PC for integrating into the dash, especially since it takes up so little space.
I see 1GHz CPU, but what kind is it? VIA?

Whoo Hoo, I got the owners manual for the Jensen version. Check out the specs, 1024x768 display! And remote control! It uses a Via Gigah chip. What ever that is. Its going to be slower than an Atom.

Thinking about this, a net book is a better deal. But, this does have touch screen and is car friendly.


Looking over the manual, its using AMI BIOS and a Via Eshther chip. 1GHz. There seems to be a module that enable 10/100 Ethernet and external monitor with 2 additional USB ports. I don't see if it is included with the GPS(?) Uses the Via CX700 chipset. Can boot from an external USB optical drive.

I really hope the memory is a sodimm and not soldered. Looks promising since there is also two uren models that have two different memory specs. Anyone know for sure?
