Everex’s new MyMiniPC: $500 and gOS-powered

Filed under:

Everex is popping off a new gOS powered box tonight, given the unfortunate monicker of MyMiniPC. While $500 is way more than enough to get you started on a low-end Windows box (and even most of the way there toward a Mac mini), the MyMiniPC comes equipped with a 1.86GHz Pentium T2130 and 512MB RAM running gOS “Space”, a 120GB drive, DVD±RW, firewire, four USB 2.0 ports, DVI and S-Video out gigabit Ethernet, media reader, and standard audio ins/outs. Everex is all playing up the whole space theme and MySpace integration, segueing that into avatar-based help experience called “Dave” (i.e. use the Ask Dave function to get help). So, what, does that make us all HALs? Too meta, Everex. Larger interface shot after the break.

Egoman offers up MP810RSTD-43 portable media player

Filed under: ,

Last we heard from Egoman Technology, it was taking notes from Samsung in order to craft an eerily similar PMP of its own. The MP810RSTD-43, however, actually doesn’t look half bad on paper. This widescreen player sports a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 resolution touchscreen, handles RMVB, MP3, WMA, WAV, APC, FLAC, JPG, BMP and GIF file formats and FM radio signals; you’ll also find up to 8GB of internal memory and a voice recorder. Per usual, this one touts text viewing, TV output, USB 2.0 connectivity and a built-in equalizer to treat your ears the way they deserve to be treated. Not a clue on pricing here, but if you’re keen on ordering boatloads of Chinese electronics rather than just one or two, we’re sure it would be willing to talk.

Van Der Led’s Jisus laptop is the answer to your prayers

Filed under:

The Jisus laptop? We’re asking ourselves the same questions you are. We’ve never heard of Van Der Led, and we’ve certainly never heard of the Jisus — but boy are we intrigued. Apparently, the multi-colored (and multi-graphic’d) little guys will feature an 800 x 480, 8.9-inch LCD display, a 1GHz Loongson CPU (???), 512MB of RAM, 4GB of flash storage, 802.11b/g, stereo speakers, and a whole slew of familiar ports. The Eee-wannabe will apparently come with Ubuntu pre-installed (though frankly it’s unclear), and will be retailing for €299 when it hits the streets (the European streets, that is) on April 25th. Check the video after the break to see odd, ominously silent images of the device, accompanied by fascinating data.

[Thanks, Gydo]

For just $399.99, you can experience the totally okay performance that is this 7-inch master of destruction. Enjoy it now, but remember, those 9-inch models are just around the corner.
