Everex may have been disappointed when Wal-Mart announced it was pulling its Linux based ultra-portables from store shelves last week, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped them from going forward.

The delay was chalked up to some tweaking of the gOS [...]
In the most recent GBM Podcast Sierra and I covered a range of topics. Two of those topics seem to be continually popping up in the news these days and worth pointing to. First, there seems to be a real race going on in the ultra-portable space kicked off recently by the Asus EeePC. It seems [...]
I hope the ASUS Eee is getting prepared, because the new Everex Cloudbook is coming to town. The specs are not all out yet, but the Everex Cloudbook is said to have a 7" screen and run the gOS Linux variant, optimized to work with Google Apps. You may remember Everex as the company that [...]

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop.
