I'll be making the justification again for notability and so forth. Taggers, admins, please allow a little time for me to do so. The notability is in part that this is the only standardized PPC computer desktop end-user product, that, like in terms of eeePC and OLPC notability, it unusually competes on a very low price strategy, etc. Also it's use of Firefox as the UI is notable. More. DanielM ( talk) 17:22, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
OLPC and eeePC articles both discuss pricing. The pricing here is identified neutrally and is part of the subject's notability. See also Tata Nano. DanielM ( talk) 17:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
I'll leave it out pending consensus on whether it should be in there, but we need to note the price as part of the notability, if there is a notability challenge. DanielM ( talk) 18:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
As of June 2013, the website http://www.cherrypal.com/ is down. THe article should be updated. It seems like this (vaporware, scamming or real?) company is no more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.33.135.232 ( talk) 15:44, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
It is ridiculous to leave out the most notable factoid. - 69.87.199.98 ( talk) 23:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Its hard to believe that no-one has added the reasonable conclusion that this product is vaporware and will never surface in real life. Consider this:
1) The product is only ever shown as a rendering - no real life photographs, which is surprising if the product supposedly left the factory more than a month ago.
2) There has been no realiable, independent, and verifiable reports of units being shipped to end users. This is after a month of supposed availability of a pretty good product (that is, if it existed)?
3) Third, the webpage is designed as if a sixth-grade kid had done it is a school project. It is simply too amateruish for a company which supposedly has the vision and capital to: design a complex electronics product from scratch, secure funding for starting a production run, actually establishing a production, found a distributor, and managed to ship the product to customers.
4) The company started with Paypal for order payments but pulled it for unspecified "bad experiences"... sorry this is way out there. If you want to launch a halfway revolutionary product, you are an amateur if you don't have a decent order tracking and payment system in place on the launch date.
I could list a few more points of mistrust, but i'll stop for now and end in sayign that nothing at all is trustworthy about the company, it's main man and the product. If i'm mistaken, I'd love to be shown to be so (but please, let see some hard proof that this thing actuially exists, thanks!). - Peter Bjørn Perlsø ( talk) 02:21, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
According to their website you can now buy the Cherrypal for $99. The operating system is Windows CE.
"The 7" Cherrypal was designed with developing countries in mind. The Africa is powered with an 400 MHz processor, 256 MB DDR / 2 GB NAND-flash and runs Linux (GMo) or Windows CE. Here are some more basics: Screen: 7 inch high-resolution TFT .(800 x 480 pixels) LAN:10/100M Ethernet Access WIFI: IEEE 802.11 b/g Ethernet RJ-45 Keyboard: QWERTY 86 keys Mouse&Touch pad:build-in touch panel, set two shortcut key,and support usb port mouse USB Port: USB 2.0 x 1 (aid external memory) USB 1.1 x 2 (aid keyboard & mouse only) External Memory : SD card , U-Disk , USB-HDD Card port: SD / MMC card slot (8GB) Battery: 7.4 V 1800Mha built in Lithium battery 1800MAH Last time:4 HRS Sound effect:build-in realtek sound effect chipset, Built in 2 x 0.5W Built in speaker 1 x microphone Weight:1.2kg Size: 213.5 x 141.8 x 30.8 mm This product was added to our catalog on Friday 11 December, 2009." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.60.177 ( talk) 02:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Per chairman Max Seybold, and also per the way the name is listed on the corporate website, the name of the company and its computer is "Cherrypal," not "CherryPal".
I've fixed the usage in the body of the article, but it really needs to be renamed to fix the capitalization. How can that be done? — Robotech_Master ( talk) 06:15, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
The $99 version is the 7" screen Asia, running Google Android. There's a 10.1" Asia for $148 with Android. The 7" Africa is listed at $118 and 13.3" Bing for $389. The C120 desktop is listed at $249. The old $99 Africa with Linux is no longer available. This article needs a lot of updating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody ( talk • contribs) 08:37, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
