Everex has confirmed that the CloudBook will be floating into the United States in January at the very cool price of $399. While I don't have any additional information yet, this is a big step for Everex who has been making waves in the retail sector with the $299 gPC desktop. For them to release a UMPC at just $399 is a bold move that has a lot of people talking about how it will impact the ASUS eeePC's sales.

Will consumers do some comparison shopping between the eeePC and the CloudBook? I think this is the opening round of the biggest battle in the UMPC sector that we've seen to date. The stylish underpowered eeePC versus the functional-looking full-featured CloudBook. Both systems ship with a customized version of linux, but will ASUS' implementation be enough to combat the Google-centric gOS which recently ignited mainstream interest in Linux?

Its too early to tell, but make sure you bring your raincoat, because a storm is brewing.
