CloudBook
Everex has unveiled an Eee PC competitor with its CloudBook. Scheduled to be available at Walmart.com only starting January 25, 2008 at an affordable $399. This is the same price as my Eee PC 4G, except that it has better specifications. The CloudBook also weighs 2lbs with a 9-inch screen and has 9 times more of gigabyte storage space than my 4G. It is pre-installed with gOS which I think rocks.
I’m a little disappointed that I just bought an Eee PC and a new interesting machine cos out. I’ll have to wait for reviews, maybe for the next generation of CloudBook before I decide to get my hands on it.
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.

I finally decided to purchase an Eee PC instead of getting a Wii. I realized that I won’t be playing a video game in my free time that much and really need a small notebook wherever I go. I know I’ve said countless times that don’t want a laptop to carry around, but this baby is so lightweight and small that it feels like I’m carrying an actual binded notebook. Though it doesn’t have that much disk space, it has all the software I need for mobile computing including the WiFi.
