The Asus Eee PC is going to keep its Messianic feel for a few more weeks as Everex has announced that its $399 CloudBook, a sub-notebook that has been deemed as the first real rival for Asus' product, will have its release date pushed back.

Based on a VIA platform and embracing gOS as its free operating system the CloudBook was initially planned for a late January release in the US but now that's been put on hold for at least 4 weeks. The delay is due to some apparently much-needed gOS tweaks which hopefully will make the OS and system as cute and cuddly as the Eee PC.
