The Korea based company Viliv has launched the X7 and X10 tablets running Android along with the X70 tablet running Windows 7 at the CES 2011. The numbers are self descriptive in that the 7 and 10 points out to a 7 and a 10 inch tablet. But that does not mean the figure 70 would mean a 70 inch tablet. That would be just too big for a tablet for any practical uses. Rather the X70 refers to a more acceptable 7 inch dimension which also makes it the smallest tablet so far to run a full blown Windows operating system.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
