walmart will be selling these in about a week. looks like cheap hardware to me. will cost about $400 and will be another cheap umpc option.
you can get all the specs at everex.com had them on the frontpage last time i checked

One thing is sure... It looks like something that should be sold in walmart... All companies are trying to create something new with sleek design, everex looks like something made 10 years ago. Check the fly book notebook instead... It about two years old but much better for the purpose intended

i am not sure what flybook has to do other than a similar look because i don't know if they make a cheap umpc which is what the cloudbook is. i have no intention of buying one,

It (the CloudBook) uses gOS, doesn't it? I tried out that distro and it's pretty slick. The computer itself sure looks clunky, but that's what you get for such a low price. Functionality outweighs form when you get that cheap.

I think this Everex Cloudbook is going to sell well. This Cloudbook sells cheaper than the Asus Eee pc and comes with a bigger storage capacity. I think they are including a small hard disk instead of Asus's flash disk storage. Am not sure if its mod friendly but that makes Asus Eee pc famous and I thought Cloudbook should follow suit. The hardware should be easily mod or customised to individual needs and this will be appealing to different groups of people. I thought the concept of putting forth a product UMPC is a great idea, this allow you to travel light, and at the same time, able to surf and do some simple tasks. The computing-heavy task should be left to the desktop or laptops.
