Everex's CloudBook arrives in Japan with touchscreen, Bluetooth

Posted Mar 17th 2008 2:40AM by Thomas Ricker

The FIC manufactured Everex CloudBookhas finally made its way to Japan. What's interesting is not its
US-rooted Everex branding but the fact that the ultra-portable picked
up a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and 802.11a (to augment the
existing b/g WiFi) along the way without any change to the CE1200J
model number. All the other specs remain true to the original right on
down to the 1.2GHz VIA C7-M proc and 30GB hard disk. We'd chalk this up
to a typo(s) if it wasn't for the new, tax-inclusive price of ¥59,800
or about $600 -- a stiff bump from the $399 touchscreen-less, Stateside
model. Let's see if the March 22nd release in Japan brings the
additional options for North America and Europe.
