There has been an Eee PC rip-off in the past the Kira 100, but that was around $475. It just seemed pointless at spending that kind of money on a knockoff.
However; there is now a new Asus Eee PC rip-off on the market and it will only cost you $99 USD.
The Jointech JL7100 comes with 7-inch 800 x 480 resolution display.
There are still a few downsides to this UMPC though; firstly it only uses the WinCE 5.0 instead of the standard operating system. There is just 64MB of internal storage, so you will need to connect an external hard drive to this ultra mobile PC.
There is more disappointing news from the Jointech JL7100, the UMPC has just 64MB of RAM.
Looks like Asus has nothing to worry about with this cheap rip-off then

what do you for for under a hundred bucks? Paper bags suck for luggage, so you have to buy something that costs more to take on the plane. get over it
I have just spoken to the company in China and they confirmed that 20000 J-Pro (JL7100) is being manufactured for a UK company. The specifications published on their website were of just a basic configuration. The model available in UK will have WIFI enabled and built-in 2-8GB flash internal storate (not 64MB anymore). According to the company, GPS can be built-in. Solar power is also optional. Look forward to it in UK. Bear in mind, the price won’t be $99 with extra features.
Keep in mind that this is Windows CE, not XP
The OS is designed for low memory, low storage situations, as is the processor, I have a buddy who plans to get one and after joining the testing, I’ll probably post an actual review here.
They are cheating innocent ppl, as this so called cheap laptop will go to the rubish bin soon as ppl may not be able to use it as a computer, so why waste a 100 bucks even.
