Everex Releasing its own Ultraportable, The Cloudbook

January 23, 2008 at 8:00 am by Chris

 Everex, which already wowed geeks by releasing its gPC in partnership with WalMart, is set to release its own ultraportable- the Cloudbook (I love the name!). Designed to compete with the successful Asus Eee PC, the Cloudbook will have a 7-inch display and run the same Linux-based operating system as the gPC.

Not only will a machine like this compete with the Eee PC, but the general proliferation of ultraportable and other systems running alternative operating systems will certainly challenge the dominance of Windows in personal computing.

Additional specs from Everex's own site:
9 Inches, 2 pounds, 5 hours of battery life. Surf, email, blog, IM, Skype, compute. Cloud computing makes it simple and easy for everyone.

Based on the latest gOS Rocket operating system, the ultra-mobile Everex PC comes with popular applications from Google, Mozilla, Skype, OpenOffice.org and more.

Additional Preinstalled and Linked Software
Mozilla Firefox, gMail, Meebo, Skype, Wikipedia, GIMP, Blogger, YouTube, Xing Movie Player, RythemBox, Faqly, Facebook and OpenOffice.org 2.3 (includes WRITER, IMPRESS, DRAW, CALC, BASE)

Hardware Specifications
1.2GHz, VIA C7®-M Processor ULV, 512MB DDR2 533MHz, SDRAM, 30GB Hard Disk Drive, 7" WVGA TFT Display (800 x 480), VIA UniChrome Pro IGP Graphics, VIA High-Definition Audio, 802.11b/g, (1) 10/100 Ethernet Port, (1) DVI-I Port, (2) USB 2.0 Ports, (1) 4-in1 Media Card Reader, (1) .3MP Webcam, (1) Headphone/Line-Out Port, (1) Microphone/Line-In Port, (1) Set of Stereo Speaker, (1) Touchpad, (1) 4-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery
