JKK and I have had some fun tracking our Viliv S7’s from South Korea over the last four days and it turns out that the German customs organization is a little tighter than the Finnish one. No surprise there! Consequently, JKK picked his up from the DHL office this afternoon and has already videoed the unboxing. Remember this is a retail version of the high-end, 3G+voice, 32GB SSD S7 that should be available at Dynamism very soon. As a bonus, you get to see the very girly white leather case!

IDF is nearly here and it’s traditionally the most important week of the Mobile Computing calendar so watch closely because we’ll be getting information on some of the most important technologies that go together to build leading-edge mobile computing and mobile internet solutions. Battery technology, radio technology, graphics, CPUs and of course, software.

It’s a question that Opera is going to answer very soon. The next generation in mobile browsing.

The puzzle is gradually being completed (the image is being completed) as time goes on at the Opera teaser site.

Where there’s a product launch, you’ll always find Mr Blurycam. This time he’s posting under the name of Ludovic Perrier on a blog called thoout.com.

It’s only an early hands-on of the Archos 9 (they’ve got to get those first articles out quickly these days) but Gizmodo ends up with a positive vibe about the device. No word on battery life, performance or tablet features but there’s a hands-on video walkthrough.

Considering it’s one of the biggest consumer electronics shows in the world and one of the last before the Christmas buying season I found IFA to be very underwhelming this year. At least in the mobile computing segment.

If you’re at IFA for the last day of the event today, please keep your eyes out for a brown Gigabyte T1028G. It was stolen from the Netbooknews team as they waited around in a press area yesterday.
