The new UMPC (ultra-mobile PC) with a 7-inch screen, coded Cloudbook, has confirmed to ship by Everex. It is revealed that the device will ship with the Google Apps-oriented “gOS” Linux distribution early next year. This will be a rival to Asus’s EEE PC, which is also 7-inch UMPC. It comes with Standard and Developer editions. Cloudbook will use a Via C7 ULV (ultra-low voltage) processor, clocked at 1.2GHz. And, instead of the EEE PC’s 4GB SSD (solid-state disk), the Cloudbook will pack in a 30GB hard disk drive. It has 512MB of RAM, built-in wired and wireless Ethernet interfaces, a 4-in-1 card reader, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, and DVI-out. Unlike standard Cloudbook models, the Developer edition will include a touchscreen interface. Beside that, this cloudbook will also include some kind of expansion interface for modules, webcam, cordless Skype phone, and retro LCD alarm clock module are included.
The priced of this product at $400 with a 30GB hard drive. The touchscreen-enabled Developer Unit should arrive soon.
