So sad! I just read on Penguinppc about the rumor they’re closed. Maybe they’re open under another name? Here’s what they say:

Genesi has posted an update and a warning about Cherrypal, a rebranded Limepc, which uses Freescale’s 5121e PowerPC processor. Due to the PowerPC connection, a few people got excited and were taken in by an apparently shady company, which has now folded. (Thanks to a reader for pointing out this story.)

Just discovered that CherryPal unfortunately went out of business a few months ago….

Thank you for talking about the CherryPal C100. I am linking to this page from my blog, CherryPal for Everyone, at cherrypal dot blogspot dot com. I am excited about how the CherryPal can bridge barriers to people who have not had access to computers or the internet because of money, fear, education or other challenges. I will be commenting on my experience
of using it on my blog as soon as I get my own CherryPal C100! You can use CODE CPP206 to get your own CherryPal for $10 less than purchase price at Paypal when they are shipping (soon!) The best update I’ve gotten on availability is that the delay is due to a last minute decision to upgrade the solid state storage to a faster, higher quality version than
planned. The hardware is working perfectly but the software requires some tweaks to fully optimize the OS to the new hardware. I think its worth the wait as there is nothing else available at the price point of $239 (using code CPP206). Come visit http://cherrypal.blogspot.com for updates. I am an anticipated fan with interests in cloud computing, green washing, sustainability and cheap, reliable connectivity.

Yes, exactly. It’s a little thing about the size of a paperback, and it’s perfect for anybody who wants to just check e-mail, browse the web, do word processing and spreadsheets – what about 99 percent of the people I know do.

It’s called a “cloud computer,” meaning that many of the sophisticated programs run on the Internet, like how you use web-based e-mail or how many people use Picnic to edit their images. You’ll hear a lot about cloud computing in the future – I’ll make sure to keep covering it here.

It’s like a CPU, and you attach a monitor and keyboard and mouse to it?

Thanks, Monique.
