Jkk has spotted a refresh of the original Everex Cloudbook. If you will recall, the Cloudbook was one of the early netbooks and competitors to the Eee PCs. It had a low price point and ran a Linux based operating system called gOS. The new model looks similar to the original, and a few changes make the new Cloudbook the same old netbook that seems to get announced every day. The 7" screen has been bumped up to 8.9, and accordingly the resolution has been raised from 800×480 to 1024×600. […]

To help you edge yourself into another working week, here are a few news items from the weekend. Fujitsu P1630 appearing at FCC. It looks like Fujitsu might introduce a Montevina-based, Dual-Core 1.4Ghz version of the well-respected P1620/P1610. Its getting a new chipset too which includes the GMA X4500 GPU, a much more powerful option than the previous GMA950 which includes better video playback quality. It also means you can play those business-related shoot-em-ups and flick through cover-flow that much faster in your meetings! No words on price or availability […]
