The Cloudbook, or also known as one of the Eee PC competitors that did not get such a warm welcome into the market, has just received a nice little update. Everex has expanded on the Cloudbook line, and added the C1201V, which is essentially the same model as the original C1200V, except with a few more »

Everex has announced their plans to release, sometime in November, a 10.2-inch 3G-capable notebook. Lots of details are still not confirmed, but it is expected to be a follow up to the WiMax-enabled Cloudbook (with an 8.9-inch display) that is on track for an August release. The new notebook will feature a 10.2-inch WSVGA LED more »

Eee PC competitor Cloudbook CE1200V dropped it’s price $50 from its initial January price of US$399 to US$349 in WalMart stores. The Cloudbook is marketed as a beginner’s laptop. It comes with the most popular applications such as those made by Google, Mozilla, Skype, and OpenOffice. A Linux-based mobile device, it can perform basic activities more »

A few more images have popped up online showing off the newly announced Cloudbook Max from Everex. Overall it looks like it has a nice design, although it seems to be a little “puffy.” A few things to note based on the images (as compared to the current model):

• The empty space below the display has been filled-in by the larger screen.
• The speaker appears to be one long section, instead of the current two smaller sections.
• The trackpad has been switched to the more familiar style.
• The internal webcam has been centered, as opposed to being off to the right of the display.
• The addition of the external 2.0-megapixel webcam.
• The indicator lights (power, Wi-Fi, ect) are now on the outer edge of the notebook, as opposed to the current models which are under the lid and hard to see unless you open it up.

Everex has unveiled their next generation Cloudbook during CTIA, dubbed the Cloudbook Max. The Max, unlike the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition adds more than just the addition of WiMAX, but improving quite nicely on the overall specs as well.

Upgrades from the current Cloudbook are seen in just about every area of the notebook, ranging from the larger display with higher resolution, a faster processor, larger hard drive and multiple added connection options. Also notable is the have included a ‘normal’ trackpad and have still managed to keep it pretty close to the original Cloudbook in weight. The Max is being listed as weighing less than 1kg, while the current model weighs 0.91kg.

It seems the Cloudbook has expanded its availability, both Circuit City and “The All-New” CompUSA are now offering the Everex branded UMPC. Perhaps this will make the Cloudbook seem a little more like a ‘real’ computer if its not being purchased from Wal-Mart. As of now the better deal seems to be at Circuit City more »

In an ultra-mobile that mimics both the Cloudbook and the Tango X, the new device that will be hitting the Japanese market offers a nice ‘upgrade’ of specs over the US released Cloudbook. The Japanese Cloudbook features the same sized 7-inch display but offers it as a touchscreen and also includes Bluetooth and 802.11a right more »

Another variant of the Nanobook or Cloudbook has popped up. This time its set to hit the stores in Indonesia and has been dubbed the Zyrex Ubud, but in a nice twist it will not be running a modified version of Linux, instead they opted for Windows. Which version is still not clear as Cloudbook UMPC is reporting that it will be running Windows Vista Starter Edition, however the website for the Ubud is listing the OS as Windows XP, possibly consumers will be given a choice.

We saw the Eee PC pick up an incredible, almost cult like following and with that came more mods and hacks than most of us could even imagine. It has taken some time, the Cloudbook has gotten off to a slow start, but that seems to be coming to an end. A decent community is starting to get going behind the Cloudbook, albeit not as large or devoted as the Eee PC has, but still its getting there and I am sure it will continue to grow with time. With the community getting behind the Cloudbook we are beginning to see some cool new mods, along with some tips and tricks that make the gOS-based ultra-portable a little more user friendly.

While the Cloudbook may have gotten off to a rough very rough start, it seems we have some traction building. Initially you had to either make that purchase at ZaReason (who quickly dropped the Cloudbook after all those initial problems) or by placing your order, for delivery only at Wal-Mart.
