Remember Everex, the maker of an Eee PC competitor netbook called Cloudbook? Well, Infoworld is reporting that the company is currently prepping up a 10.2-inch netbook, and 2 8.9-inch netbooks. Obviously these three new netbook models are being geared to compete with the Asus Eee PC 1000 and the two new 900 series (or was it five already? – 900, 901 and the possibly 903, 904 and 905).

Anyway the new 10.2-inch Everex Netbook will come with the following features:

  • 3G wireless connectivity
  • WiMax option
  • HSDPA and HSUPA
  • WiFi (802.11 b/g)
  • Windows XP or Linux OS
  • 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor
  • 2GB DRAM
  • 1.3-megapixel web cam
  • 4 or 6 cell battery
  • 2 USB ports
  • express card slot
  • 4-in-1 card reader

This yet to be named 10.2-inch netbook will be available sometime in September.

Meanwhile, the two 8.9-inch netbook, the CE2A1 and CW0A1 will be available in Taiwan and Japan by the end of August and in September in the United States.

The CE2A1 will have a 1.2 GHz Via C7-M microprocessor, 1GB of DRAM and an HDD with 60GB capacity. It will retail for around $461. While the CW0A1 will have a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom microprocessor and will SRP for around$471.

We all know that Acer is set to release its Aspire One, its entry to the low-cost ultraportable market. We also know that the Aspire One would have an 8.9-inch LCD display and an 8GB solid state or 80GB hard drive. But what don’t know is that the Aspire One actually has a big brother, called Acer Aspire One 150X. Now what is the difference between the Aspire One and the Aspire One 150X? The latter’s name is a dead give-away, meaning it will come with a 150GB HD.

The Acer Aspire one 150X was spotted on the product page at Notebooksbillinger.de. The Aspire One 150X will also come with an Intel Atom N270 processor that runs at 1.6GHx and 1GB of RAM. And since it is an ULPC, it will have the Windows XP for its OS.

The Acer Aspire One 150X will SRP at around $630, although there is no official word yet as to whether it will be release in the US.
