I have not posted anything on the EVERUN for a while, and because RAON have moved to a larger screen making the device bigger than it could have been I have decided to put away My Vega in favor of My Kohinsha. The Vega with its 4.3" screen had looked to promise a true pocket PC, however their second generation unit has moved closer to the size of a UMPC, and as such the Kohjinsha is in my opinion a better device.

This will be my final entry, but anyone interested can follow My Kohjinsha blog here

Raon EVERUN at Computex 2007

The Raon EVERUN has been shown at Computex 2007 and this is the first video showing the device in use.

EVERUN, an OQO 2 Alternative?

Since the announcement of the Raon Digital EVERUN I have been comparing it against the much more expensive OQO 2, and if all you are looking for is a cost effective pocketable PC then the EVERUN may be your device.

Below I have listed the key comparative information for both devices.

OQO 2



Size = 142.2mm (L) x 83.8mm (W) x 25.4mm (D)
Screen Size = 5"
Weight = less than 1LB
OS = Windows XP Home (base model)
Process = 1.2GHz (base model)
HDD = 30GB (base model)
RAM = 512MB (base model)
Price = $1,499 USD (base model)

Raon Digital EVERUN



Size = 170mm (L) x 83mm (W) x 25mm (D)
Screen Size = 4.8"
Weight = 1.08LB
OS = Windows XP Home
Process = 600MHz
HDD = 30GB
RAM = 512MB
Price = $700 USD approx (expected retail price)

Based on the above there is very little between these 2 devices, with the exception of the CPU and keyboard position. If you are looking for something to act as a desktop replacement or need a more powerful CPU, then the OQO will win, but if you are looking for a portable companion then my money is on the EVERUN.
