Cloudbook Max Features Built-In WiMAX for Sprint's XOHM Network
Straight from CTIA 2008, Everex has unveiled their new Cloudbook Max featuring built-in support for Sprint's XOHM WiMAX network. Users can also expect a 8.9" WVGA (1024 x 600) display, a 1.6GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor with the VIA VX800 digital media IGP chipset, up to 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, a 80GB hard disk drive, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, an integrated GPS receiver, dual built-in 2-megapixel webcams, an S-Video port, audio in/out and the Microsoft Vista OS. No pricing info has been announced, but you can expect it to hit store shelves within a year. Press release after the break. More »
mods
Cloudbook modder Azazel has done some extraordinary work to the Everex Cloudbook. His mod, called Dreambook, adds in a touchscreen display, internal 4-port USB hub, GPS unit and 4GB's of flash memory. The webcam had to get the axe to fit all the new features under the hood, but we think it is a good trade-off. Accorrding to Azazel, "There is a lot of room to work with," and in that case, we demand the webcam back. The images show the naked Dreambook mod, but it will definitely look a lot better once it gets back into its space-wasting skin. All in all, it's a great effort. Bravo, Azazel.

Everex CloudBook's Old-School Answer to Digital Photo Frames
Everex just got photo-friendly in a strangely retro way: PhotoFair is a clear plastic plate that clamps on to the CloudBook's top, allowing you to "store and display photos, documents and other printed materials." As in, physically stash printed-out documents. It's a bit unusual in the LCD age, but unlike the digital alternative—Windows SideShow, for instance—this one is easily executed and won't drain your batteries. [Everex] Thanks Paul!

Everex Cloudbook Gets Dropped By Its First Shipping Company
Things just get worse and worse for Everex's Cloudbook, previously thought to be a competitor to the popular Asus Eee PC, as the first company to actually ship the mini laptop has ceased selling it. ZaReason says they've lost so much money in shipping out refunds (due to bank transaction fees) that it's no longer profitable for them to sell it. Why would so many people want refunds? Because the laptop's kind of a crapfest, according to last week's Laptop Mag review—partially because the touchpad is placed in a horrible, horrible spot. But if you really want one, Wal-Mart's got it listed on their website. [ via Cloudbooker via eeesite]

Those of you excited about that cheap, small Everex Cloudbook Wal-mart laptop as an alternative to an Eee PC might be slightly disappointed. Laptopmag just unboxed theirs, and found many things wrong with it. The pointing device is above the keyboard on the right, but the left and right mouse keys are on the left side, also above the keyboard. What the? Update: They've got a mini-review up.

Everex Cloudbook to Get Touchscreen Display
Everex is planning to release a touchscreen version of the Cloudbook, which they say will be out for developers 45 to 60 days after the normal model goes on sale, then released in Q3. Everex Marketing Director Paul C. Kim even speculated about an SSD option in future versions but, with the normal model still unreleased, all these promises feel a bit like vaporware. [Laptop Mag]

Everex Cloudbook Coming To Walmart.com
The Everex Cloudbook that we showed you a month ago has finally been given an official release date. So if you were hoping to get the $400 Eee PC rival, it will be available from Walmart.com on January 25th. There's no word on if you'll be able to pick one up at an actual brick-n-mortar Wal-Mart store, so the website might be the only option. [Everex]
