This unit will sell for $399. It opens the door for UMPC on the low end.<br /> We have yet to see long production runs for laptops. The new models are always better faster and about the same price. It is my hope that this will be the first UMPC to hit the $150 mark at rev 2 or rev 3. I hope to use the cloudbook with a bluetooth head set as my desk VOIP phone. </p> </div>

It has a bigger bezel but doesn't have that lopsided look that I hate. Still not crazy about the specs but you can take on the road and not worry about it and that's great.</p> </div>

Of course, now they're talking about 8 and 8.9 inch versions, with no real talk about a 10 inch model, so these things can always change. But it's not surprising to see Everex already planning ahead.</p> </div>
