Dynamism has the Viliv S10 for sale now, starting at $699 for a Win XP version with a 60 gb hard drive. The Win 7 models have solid-state drives and start at $100 more. For $850 you can get a Win 7 with a 64 gb SSD and an extra battery. That's too rich for my blood right now but it looks like a great device with a lot more utility than an iPad. It's bigger and heavier but you'd expect that with a convertible netbook. The iPad can do Netflix instant streaming but I suspect the Viliv could do the same, albeit thru a browser instead of an app. Video at http://jkontherun.com/2010/03/23/vil...lade-on-video/

Personally I'm waiting to see what they can do to the Archos 7 HT re Android Marketplace, but if the Notion Ink Adam comes out before Thanksgiving at a decent price I may get that instead. The X10 deserves a look too, once I know more about it. More X10 info at http://blog.laptopmag.com/viliv-x10-...phics-hp-video
