Oppo Finder is no longer the world’s thinnest smartphone with Vivo X1 taking that crown. The newly launched device is just 6.55mm thick and has specs that include a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 4.7-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) IPS screen, 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, and 16GB of built-in storage that can be further expanded with microSD memory cards. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is running the show out of box.

As for the price, the Vivo X1 is selling for 2,498 yuan, which translates into some $400. As I’m writing this, the smartphone is available only in China and we’ve no idea when or even whether it will ever hit the Western markets. We’ll let you know if that happens — cause we want super-thin devices too — and in the meantime you can look for this baby on your next trip to China (or tell a Chinese friend to bring you one on his way to the west)…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
