It seems that the Amazon best seller from Asus, the so called Eee PC, finally got a real competitor. The Silicon Valley based company Everex, is going to release their “Cloudbook” which is based on the VIA Nanobook reference design in the mid of January 2008.

Linuxdevices.com commented:

The Cloudbook appears to be FIC/Everex’s answer to Asus’s EEE PC (pictured at right), another ultra-mobile Linux-powered PC that began shipping earlier this fall. Like the EEE PC, the Cloudbook will use a 7-inch WVGA (800×480) LCD display, along with an identical keyboard, albeit in a different color, our source close to the company said.
