Latest Cloudbook availability details

,----[ Quote ]
| Also, the story of ZaReason was able to get its units first is much more 
| complicated and interesting than what Kim says above. See their account here. 
| 
| WalMart.com - available February 21. No word from Kim if Wal-Mart stores will 
| have 'em at the same time (but doubtful, as that involves even more 
| shipping).  
| 
| NewEgg.com - "first week of March," wrote Kim.
| 
| TigerDirect.com - ditto, according to Kim. Unclear whether that includes 
| CompUSA, which was bought by TigerDirect's parent company. Kim had told me 
| earlier that CompUSA stores re-opened after the bankruptcy sales finish could 
| be a channel for Everex goods.   
| 
| But here's the most tantalizing bit of news: Kim said that "two other major 
| retailers are in negotiation" on carrying the CloudBook, "but we haven't 
| agreed on financial terms yet."

Everex ships Cloudbook after slight delay

| ZaReason, which distributes Everex products, said on its Web site Friday that 
| the Cloudbook had sold out. Everex had shipped a few hundred Cloudbooks to 
| ZaReason, Kim said. As of Friday, the PC was not yet available on TigerDirect 
| or Newegg.

Future CloudBooks to Have Touch, SSD, 22-inch Screens?

| Everex’s first $399 ultraportable CloudBook is set to go on sale on February 
| 15 at Walmart.com. The low-cost laptop takes direct aim at Asus’ Eee PC. But 
| will Everex’s larger hard drive, better web-cam and a new improved Linux OS 
| outshine the popular Eee PC? The Asus system has already sold close to 
| 400,000 units.
