HowTo: "Qualcomm 3G ICON 210" and Ubuntu
Nov 5th
Although generally speaking I’m all pro linux and use it whereever possible – and consider it the best OS for networking encountered by me so far – I was not able to make my internal 3G modem work properly with Ubuntu yet. Of course I managed to have it load the right device drivers and I’m able to establish connections and to surf the internet – but unlike windows, ubuntu refuses to crank up the speed to HSDPA, and despite my patching (and recompiling) of the “usbserial.ko” and “sierra.ko” driver modules I was only able to get a downlink speed of 800KBit/sec at most. The same modem with WindowsXP though achieved between 2.2 and 2.8 MBit/s at the same daytime, causing me quite some frustration (I had bought the modem card because it was claimed as being fully compatible with linux, even with linux drivers supplied by manufacturer, mind you) and I started using WinXP more frequently again due to this issue.
The rest is here:

"Viliv S5 Premium Air MID": premium UMPC with GPS?
Nov 5th
Now Viliv is jumping on the UMPC train too: since several weeks the long-announced “VILIV S5 MID” is available in several configurations. The “Premium Air” version sports a 16GB SSD, 4.8″ touchscreen LCD with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, and full 3G/HSDPA functionality – whereas the “normal” versions come equipped with 30 or 60 GByte 1.8″ HDD instead, 800×480 LCD only, and no wireless broadband at all. Both models have the same 24Wh battery, allowing for 5-6 hours of continuous use, and are available with either WinXP, Vista or Linux (unspecified distro) preinstalled, both weigh around 380 grams and have 802.11 b/g wifi, bluetooth 2.0 and external video connectors (for VGA, S-Video and Composite-video cables!), the whole controlled by a “Silverthorne” Intel Atom clocked at 1.33GHz and supported by 1GB RAM.
