Everex has apparently been dropped from Walmart and the original distributor in Berkeley (Zareason) was duped when it's promised initial shipment of cloudbooks was diverted to Walmart. Zareason dropped the cloudbook as a result. What that means is that folks like myself will end up buying some other umpc because Everex cannot seem to get the machines on a storeshelf for me to play with prior to purchase. If I can't touch it I will not buy it. Have tried to get my hands on a cloudbook but that seems to be a tall order.

This should be the direction of all questions. What company is going to be first to the future with a OLPC XO hybred (to the Cloudbook)... with EEE PC or Cloudbook features (including all the nice things that the OLPC XO has, including the MESH NETWORKING).
