Laptop Magazine does the CloudBook- it blows

Laptop_magazine_cloudbookforwardOur buds over at Laptop Magazine have their hands on one of the most frequently delayed UMPCs around, the Everex CloudBook and they are blogging the experience.  Unfortunately that experience has not been very positive so far as they have run into some significant setup problems that will likely hit newbies where it hurts.  First up they couldn’t complete the initial setup procedure as the OK/ CANCEL buttons were off the screen.  This is a frequent problem on Windows-based UMPCs as the 800×480 resolution of those devices often puts those buttons off the bottom of the screen.  Apparently the same issue is there in Gnome Linux as that turned out to be their problem with the CloudBook.  Once they got past that problem and got the CloudBook setup up for running they ran into a lot of WiFi configuration problems.  Check out their continuing coverage of the Everex CloudBook and see how the rest of the process goes for them.  These problems don’t bode well for this initial version of the Everex as the folks at Laptop Magazine know what they’re doing and are still getting stymied getting this baby online.
