From Electronista -
After its successful Walmart launch of the gPC desktop, Everex is now poised to release its 7" mini-portable. To be positioned against the Asus Eee PC, Everex's version will called Cloudbook. Specs include the gOS Linux used in the gPC desktop, 1.3MP webcam, a 1.2GHZ VIA C7. But in lieu of SSD, it will use a 30GB drive and will have a DVI output to support flat-panel displays.
Cloudbook is expected to be formally announced at the Consumer Electronic Electronics show this coming January 7 and will start shipping shortly after that. Prices will likely start at USD399.
A relabeled version, Packard Bell's EasyNote XS, is being sold in Europe.

Not sure that this is an "eee killer" per se. It's a different animal albeit in a similar package.
That looks good. :S
One problem I can see though, the HDD will drain power like there's no tomorrow. Mechanical parts = bad.
Hi edge,
You know the difference. I know the difference. Question is will computer novices know the difference? I know people who still don't know the difference between Centrino and Celeron. To them a notebook is a notebook. :)
HI Vito,
Good point. I tend to treat my Asus Eee PC like my PDAs in the past - meaning with less care than my notebooks. Hopefully it lasts. Hehe
here is a little video i did at the Boston ESC last september:
