CherryPal introduces its latest netbook
CherryPal, which introduced a 10 oz., 400 MHz internet appliance called the C100 in July, unveiled its netbook at the Sundance Film Festival today.
Called the Bing, CherryPal's netbook runs a Linux-based operating system called GreenMaraschino with a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor. With 1 GB DDR2 RAM, a 160 GB HDD, a 10.2" (1024 x 600) TFT display, 3 USB ports, SD/MMC/MS slot, a 0.3 megapixel webcam, and built-in 802.11 b/g, the Bing is being marketed as an efficient, environmentally friendly, simple machine.
This is why the company opted to unveil the Bing at the Sundance Film festival instead of CES.
"We plan to work hand-in-hand with the film industry to raise awareness about the importance of adopting a greener lifestyle and we are excited to foster the trend towards increased communication between the PC industry and the media industry," said CherryPal's CEO Max Seybold.
The CherryPal Bing will ship within the first quarter of the year, and every $399 order until January 25 gets a free C114 desktop which requires a meager 2 watts of power.
