New SSD Based Models for the Everun Note
Oct 12th
Raon Digital are to produce two new SSD based versions of their Everun Note netbook/UMPC.
There will be an S16S which is set to be a Sempron based unit with a 1.2Ghz CPU, running Ubuntu Mobile and with a 12GB SSD (MLC). The second model on offer will be a super fast Dual Core Turion based unit entitled the D24S. That will be fitted with a 24GB SSD (which comprises of 16GB MLC and 8GB SLC). The D24S will be running Windows XP as an operating system.
Pricing isn’t confirmed yet but expect to pay around $659 for the S16S and $950 for the superior D24S model. The S16S is available mid November but, if you are interested in buying the D24S, it’s available for preorder now.
As umpcportal pointed out, all the Note needs now is built in 3g and it would be an absolute gem of a UMPC.

Best PC007 Doesn’t Quite Live up to it’s Name
Oct 12th
Not such a good choice of name for the Best PC007. Poor specifications let it down unfortunately and in a market packed with alternative models, it’s hard to see this UMPC setting the world alight.
The Best PC007 is let down mostly by the inclusion of an XBurst processor which is ‘old-style’ to say the least. The 128mb of RAM doesn’t help matters much and with just 1GB of flash storage to it’s name, even the Best PC007’s 84 key keyboard, 7 inch screen (800×400 resolution) and 3 USB ports can’t compete to make this a feature rich unit, features fit for a model that should retail for under $250 anyway. On the positive side, the unit also has an SD card reader so there’s 8gb of extra storage which shouldn’t cost the Earth.

Jointech JL7200 to be announced with WiFi!
Oct 12th
According to asuseeehacks, Jointech will announce the impending arrival of their new JL7200 netbook (or mini-laptop as Jointech label it) at the upcoming Hong Kong Electronics Fair.
The JL7200 is based on the Jointech J-Pro JL7100, a $99 ‘netbook of sorts’ that runs Windows CE with a 7 inch screen, 64MB of memory and has a 400MHz processor but, the JL7200 has the addition of WiFi which was sadly a missing feature on the ‘cheap as chips’ JL7100 and is expected to cost around $299 retail and $125 wholesale.
