Some hot news at CES was that Everex would soon (by the end of January) start shipping its $399 Everex Cloudbook/UMPC. Engadget is reporting that the unit will be available through Wal-Mart.
I haven’t seen the Everex model per se, but Via did bring along a Packard Bell machine, which is of the same lineage (FIC has one called the Nanobook too), to the Tablet PC Gathering yesterday.
With the ASUS Eee PC, OLPC XO, and now the Everex notebook things are really heating up in the low-end notebook space. Will this help to bring down the cost of UMPCs? We’ll have to wait and see.
