It’s not really about complaining but more of expressing one’s opinion. Price is very much a valid point of interest, discussion and evaluation as well, not just device features. I too can afford one of these but I just feel I won’t be getting the bang for the buck with this device. It’s good to know though that you are enjoying the device and getting your money’s worth. At least that shows some promise. To each his own :)

Firsthand, I always buy products that give bang for the buck.

No need to bash iPad, I just provided it as an alternative, pricewise.

And 7 inches does not go in your pocket, unless you are wearing something out of this world.

What I don’t like about this product, resistive touchscreen. My opinion only, I know there are those who favor resistive over capacitive.

So far, with upcoming products, I’m bent on the HP slate or the Wepad, whichever comes out cheaper with more features.

I visit again the store in Alabang (ATC), May promo sila sa mga product, S5 = 43,990 X70 = 49,990… I think worth na yung price nila… :D

One: I hate that people keep mentioning the iPad when there are other more worthy products out there. Let’s call iPads iFads instead, people will talk about it but less than 10% of those who do will actually buy it. ROFL!

Two: Yuga is correct that this is a niche product, and it looks to be a good one for that niche minus the less capable processor (why not the 2.0 GHz Z550?). Viliv isn’t a completely unknown brand. People here just happen to think that Apple is the only worldwide brand and that an Apple-imitation is better than everything else – admit you’ve seen people buy iPod imitations over similarly priced genuine Phillips and Creative MP3 players.

Three: Yes this is a wee-bit over priced.

@Abe – that explains it. So it’s safe to say I do not belong in their niche market :) Though they could’ve beefed up the technology behind the device a bit especially in the processor end as well as improved on the aesthetics to make the price a little more palatable. Something that would concretely differentiate the device among the sea of other devices out there and not just differentiate based on the notion that it’s for a small niche market. Just like with the other devices you mentioned, the Segway differentiates with the novel application of gyroscope technology, the prius with cutting edge hybrid engine and AVT’s with their ability to cover all terrains :)

On the contrary, maybe it’s the TV antenna and the GPS that’s driving the price up as well and differentiates this device among the rest. It could also be the 32gb solid state drive, the built in 3G and the 200 hours standby battery.

Carlo – the price will be justified so it’s ok although that would take them how many years to reach that status. 10? 20? 50? With the Audi analogy in mind, their first car was produced in 1910 (via wikipedia) so you’re backed with a hundred years worth of technology and experience when you buy an Audi. Also, features will still count, a lot, not just the brand. And besides, I only drive a cheap Toyota, not an Audi so I probably won’t buy Viliv even when it becomes a luxury brand :)

i’d be nucking futs to buy this. i’m sticking with my 900HA.

Again this something about MOBILITY. Not just a MOBILITY but how you can put in your own POCKET. So do not be shock at the price, the chipsets are super small just like the molecules. Remember, the smaller the device, the larger the price. :)

…or an iPad
…or Joojoo
…or Wepad

what an insane price!

For that price, I’d rather get the Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t!
