Here we are with another Eee PC wannabe. Everex are planning to launch a 10.2 inch mini notebook to compete against the Eee PC 1000 series. But Everex is going to add a little cherry on top. Their laptops are rumored to include 3G WWAN and an optional WiMAX connection. Further more, VIA’s original open book used for the Cloudbooks so far might be used for the 10 inch version as well.
We don’t have all the specs yet but here’s what’s rumored on the street about the upcoming 10 inch Everex Cloudbook:
This is certainly a more complicated mini laptop than what we’ve seen so far so it might be more expensive than its peers. This Cloudbook might be subsidized by wireless providers but this is another unconfirmed rumor. The smaller 8.9 inch version will be launched in Taiwan and Japan by the end of August while the US customers will get these WiMAX Cloudbooks in September.

Ah, the elusive Everex CloudBook. Its launch got delayed twice before it saw the light of day. Now it seems, another delay has happened on the company’s front. This time, it has nothing to do with OS tweaks. The disruption was reportedly due to heavy snowfalls prior to the celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year which caused power outage and transportation delays. Due to this, shipments of the Everex CloudBook to the rest of Taiwan’s retail channel is delayed until mid-March. Let’s hope what’s out there will last ’til then!

There’s still no official release date for the Everex Cloudbook. You might remember that they had delayed their supposed January 25th release to possibly the end of February. With the Cloudbook itself not released yet, one might wonder why there are talks about a Cloudbook XP driver. But according to Cloudbooker.com:
Paul Kim, the Director of Marketing for Everex, has confirmed via e-mail to me that Windows XP drivers will be posted on Everex.com.
The XP driver will apparently be showcased in the Everex.com web site soon. That’s great. After all, it was the gOS that caused the delay in release dates, right? And with Cloudbook’s 30GB storage, you won’t have to worry about space like in Asus Eee PCs. Still, we’d prefer seeing the Cloudbook itself first before more talks about peripherals and enhancements. Won’t you?

After Samsung, it is now Everex’s turn to get some exposure in the ultra-mobile PC sector at CES. It has unveiled the CloudBook UMPC CE1200V, which unlike many of its competitors, runs the open-source Google OS as opposed to Windows XP or Vista Tablet Editions.
Spec-wise, it maintains its decency for a UMPC with a 1.2GHz Via C7-M ULV mobile processor, 512MB of DDR2 533MHz memory, a 7-inch WVGA TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 480, VIA UniChrome Pro IGP graphics, VIA High-Definition Audio, and WiFi in its 802.11b and g flavors. Other features worth mentioning are its touchpad, 2 USB 2.0 ports, a DVI port, 4-in-1 media card reader, headphone/microphone ports, and a set of built-in stereo speakers.
It runs off a 4-cell L-ion battery and averages about 5 hours of battery life.
