Everex's Cloudbook ultra mobile PC has seen another delay in widespread availability.
The company's site previously had an announcement to customers that the 9-inch, 2 pound laptop would be available at Walmart.com and ZaReason.com on February 15. Today, that date was pushed back just under a week to February 21.
Costing a mere $399 USD, the Cloudbook is a member of the new echelon of low cost, ultra mobile connected laptops. popularized by the OLPC XO, and the Asus Eee PC. These models act as smartly-priced alternatives to similarly mobile, but decidedly more costly UMPCs such as the Macbook Air and the forthcoming HTC Shift.The Cloudbook system is driven by a 1.2 GHz VIA C7-M Processor, has 512MB of RAM and a 30GB HDD, 7-inch (800 x 480) WVGA TFT display, a VIA UniChrome Pro IGP Graphics card and VIA high-definition audio sound card. It runs gOS Rocket, and comes with such open source applications as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, Skype, OpenOffice.org 2.3, among others.
