Viliv’s AMOLED Prime P3 media player sports both Android and Windows CE

By Joseph L. Flatley | Published: May 25, 2010
We’ve never been comfortable with the fact that Viliv’s many fun and fashionable PMPs have yet to gain a real foothold in the states. Maybe this will change with the Prime P3 media player. As near as we can tell (our Korean is a little rusty) this bad boy sports a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, has both Android 2.1 and Windows CE 6.0 partitions, and supports 720p video. But that ain’t all! Connectivity is via microUSB, and additional storage comes courtesy of microSDHC. Rounding things off are an 800 MHz ARM Cortex CPU, accelerometer, and WiFi — all in a pretty classy little package. Available in flavors up to 32GB, we have no idea when this will see release, or for what price. We’ll let you know as soon as we get a heads up. For reals.

Mio MiBuddy GPS units to trade Windows CE for Android

By Joshua Topolsky | Published: November 2, 2009

If you’re keeping tabs on Mio Technology’s GPS happenings, you’ll be interested to dip into some facts that PC World has uncovered about the company’s upcoming offerings. According to the mag, the next version of the electronics-maker’s MiBuddy satnav unit will dash the underlying Windows CE architecture for Google’s newer and far more suave Android platform. The new device will be pushing into MID territory, boasting a 4.7-inch touchscreen along with a hardware slider keyboard, the ability to browse the internet, and WiFi and Bluetooth onboard. Call us crazy, but it seems possible that devices like dedicated PNDs running Android could easily adapt Google’s new turn-by-turn system as their primary mode of operation. Alternately, you could switch between Mio’s proprietary version and Google’s variation… or they could axe the big G’s altogether, though that awkward situation makes far less sense to us. No word on timing or price just yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

Update: Seems this is all just a great big mixup, and the whole Android thing is just untrue. Bummer.
