Inspired by Inside Scoop Maestro Michael Brito -- he did a great video preview of the Viliv S5 back when the mobile Internet device was about to hit the market -- I got hooked on the solid, nifty Viliv MID design.
Just prior to Computex, my "i gotta have one" device desire was hijacked by the Viliv X70, the slightly bigger, more technically equipped Intel Atom powered) sibling to the Viliv S5.
Wow, lots of new innovations on being unveiled at Computex in Taipei during the first few days. I’ve been keeping my eyes on a few people there on the scene, and from there branching out to see the reaction from gadget lovers who aren’t at the show (like me).
Gizmodo’s Adrian Covert hit early with “Intel unleashed a flurry of new processors at Computex, including the T9900 Core 2 Duo, which clocks in at a speedy 3.06 GHz—the first Penryn-based Core 2 Duo chip to do so.” and Ubergizmo gave their take, “Intel Makes Mobile More Mobile @ Computex.”

Many eyes are turning to Taipei for this week’s Computex, the largest IT trade show in Asia that runs from June 2-6.
Every year, this is where new mobile technologies are unveiled, and this year I’m looking for the latest in laptops, netbooks, mobile Internet devices and WiMAX.
Here are a few Intel-related things I’ve seen blogged about prior to the show:

This is Moore’s Law in action mixed with the beauty of innovative hardware design and software refinement. Seeing this video is believing in that there has been significant progress in the past three years, as more tech experts work together at bringing the full Internet experience to tiny mobile Internet devices.
Steve “Chippy” Paine at UMPCPortal.com always puts things into a clear, easily understandable perspective for people interested in the latest tiny computers hitting markets around the world.
In this video, he show how some of the first Utra Mobile Personal Computers (UMPC) looked, felt and operated back in 2006 then compares them to newer, better built mobile Internet devices on the market today.
Uday points out many of the bells of whistles on the mobile device. He explains how the sleak device is powered by a tiny, might Intel Atom processor, allowing the OQO to play HD and do the things you like doing on PC.

I got my hands on an Acer AirOne netbook to our engineers added the Intel Link 5150 Wi-Fi-/WiMAX chip. I'd seen Centrino 2 laptops with WiMAX and I followed the launch of WiMAX service now available in Baltimore and Portland, but I had never seen a netbook connect to WiMAX.
Lovely little beams of blue light flickered off the antenna popping out of a tiny black box inside the CES Kickoff Party Thursday night. That’s when things turned real interesting and geeky…
Efren Toscano from TechZulu was first on the record button after we introduced ourselves to the cool guy who we would soon learn was the software wizard who built the award-winning, hot mobile Internet Device at CES, the OQO.
Here is a quick recap of the Ubergizmo party in San Francisco last night. In case you are wondering, Intel and Federated Media sponsored the event, hence the reason I was there rubbing elbows with the important people.
We - meaning Intel - had small table with a bunch of Netbooks, Centrino 2 laptops, MIDS and a brand-spanken-new Dell XPS powered by the Core i7. I also met and interviewed some really cool peeps -- Patrick Haynes, Director of Photography for Podtech; Xavier Lanier, founder of Notebooks.com; and Norman Liang from Photobucket (interviews to come next week so be on the look out).
Several of the Intel Insiders were there; although I didn't get a chance to meet with many of them. I did chat for a few minutes with Sarah Austin and Cathy Brooks. Other notable Insiders that attended the party were Irina Slutsky, JD Lasica and Tom Foremski.

Yup, you heard it right. The RJ45 Ethernet cable is standing on its last legs and it's just a matter of time before they will be piling up at the local recycling houses. Not sure what an RJ45 is? Well, take a look behind your computer, modem or router and you will notice a thick plug - see here for a picture of it - that is required to connect to the Internet.
Thanks to the launch of WiMax (only in Baltimore so far ... booo), most people, including myself, will have the luxury of connecting to the internet without worrying these darn cables. Check out this pic where Executives from Sprint/Nextel and its partners ceremonially cut the broadband cord last Wednesday with the launch of the first mobile WiMax network in the U.S.
