Wal-Mart Stops Selling $199 gPCs In Store
Everex's gPC run on Wal-Mart store shelves has come to an end as the retailer decided that online-only sales made more sense for the $199 budget PC. Everex seems to agree. [Yahoo News]
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 gPC mini Hands On: Look Out Mac Mini?
The folks at Wired recently got their hands on Everex's new gPC mini Linux based PC, and initial impressions indicate that it is a good value based on specs, but they note that gOS Linux is still not ready for prime time as a viable Windows alternative. That having been said, outside of some problems picking up monitor resolution and the notable lack of Wi-Fi, the gPC mini "worked fine." More »

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!

The first thing that comes to mind when you see the Everex mini gOS Linux PC is that it looks just like a Mac mini except in black it is a smart way to slim down after that comically bulky Wal-Mart-special gPC that launched Everex's open-source strategy. And with an Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile processor, a DVD writer, DVI and S-Video outs, FireWire and a 4-in-1 media reader, it's leagues ahead of other Linux boxes such as the subscription Zonbu. The Everex mini is slated to arrive at Newegg at the end of the week for a reasonable $499, but tell us, guys, seriously, did you have to deliberately go with a lowercase "m"? Hell, that's just provocation. [Everex]

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]

Stormy Software Pushes Everex Cloudbook Launch Back to Feb.
If you were suiting up to brave the cold and make the long, arduous journey to Wal-Mart (or walmart.com) today to pick up Everex's $399 potential Eee PC blood-rival, the Cloudbook, just strip back down, plop back into your chair, and make a big mug of cocoa. Like enough to last you until late February, since that's the earliest you'll be able to snag a Cloudbook now. More »

Those Koreans sure do get spoiled on the technology front; check out Ripple's Ripple-Mini PC, for example. The device, which will retail for a shockingly low €90 ($132), will pack in an Intel Celeron M215 (1.33GHz), 1GB RAM, SiS 662 North Bridge and SiS 964L South Bridge, all in a dinky 20x300x220mm, Mac mini-esque case. Hit the gallery for some more shots.

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]

Everex gPC Reviewed...Again (Verdict: Horrible)
Thought that the $200 Everex gPC was too good (and cheap) to be true? Did an earlier, positive review from Wired only serve to pique your interest? Unfortunately, a recent review by PC Magazine may bring many Wal-Mart shoppers crashing to the earth. According to their review, the gPC is" one of those PCs you buy as a gift for the holidays and return to the store in January." So what went wrong? More »

It appears that Everex, the same company that sent Wal-Mart shoppers into a tizzy of values with its Linux-based gPC , now has its sites set on the Asus Eee PC with a new ultra-portable dubbed the "Cloudbook." The device will feature a 7-inch screen and the same Linux gOS found in the gPC. A 1.3 megapixel webcam is also rumored to come standard. Additional image and info after the break.
