Stronger than the OLPC? The Asian manufacturer Cherrypal began in early December deliveries of its "Cherrypal Africa," a miniature laptop to record price of 99 dollars. At this rate, it is logically unnecessary to wait for benefits similar to those of a computer sold several hundred dollars, and Cherrypal are also well aware, he who attacks the form of its presentation by the netbook 'statement that "small, slow, but adequate.

Intended as the OLPC XO, emerging countries, the Cherrypal Africa embarks Xburst processor - which is not x86 - 400 MHz and 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of flash memory for storage . Equipped with a 7 inch screen displays a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, it has an Ethernet port, a wireless controller, two USB 1.1 ports for adding a keyboard and mouse, but also a memory card reader. The 1800 mAh battery is surely self up to 4 hours. Finally, it would come with a distribution of Linux or Windows CE. Only hitch: the machine can be ordered online only, which should not make it easier for people covered by this netbook at deflated prices.
