Cherrypal is a California, USA-based marketer of Chinese-manufactured consumer-oriented computers. It markets a range of models with a diversity of CPU-types, structures, features, and operating systems. Commentators have observed that Cherrypal arguably beat the heralded and much-better financed one Laptop per Child (OLPC) project to its goal of a $100 "laptop" (such units are physically small: a Cherrypal unit for general purchase at $99 plus shipping has a 7" screen, an OLPC provided to a child in developing world at $199 has a 7.5").〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Amazon.com donation page )〕 The company's business practices have generated controversy and antipathy from some vocally dissatisfied customers, while others are marginally satisfied. Its practices pertaining to merchandise returns and communication have been repeatedly faulted. The USA's Better Business Bureau rating for Cherrypal is an "F", indicating that the BBB strongly questions the company’s reliability. Cherrypal claims a commitment to environmental concerns and the needs of impoverished countries and in particular key sponsorship of a learning center in Ghana. It supports a "One Laptop per Teacher" pilot program in Nigeria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Teachers without Borders )〕 In order, the company has marketed the "C114" PPC-processor-based nettop, the "Cherrypal Bing" x86-based netbook, the "Cherrypal Africa" XBurst-CPU-based netbook, the "Cherrypal Asia" ARM-processor-based netbooks, and the "CherryPad America" ARM-processor-based tablet computer. ==C114== The Cherrypal C114 is a small, light nettop computer using a PowerPC-processor, the Freescale 5121e system-on-a-chip (SoC) integrated main-board, and Xubuntu as its operating system.

An article in The Register noted that Cherrypal's producers asserted that the computer will consume only 2 watts of power. Independent, informal testing has shown a wattage consumption of still low 6.9 watts while booting.〔http://www.morphzone.org/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6196&forum=11〕〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmF20N9HPGo〕 The CherryPal C114 was a rebadged version of the LimePC D1 mini-desktop computer developed as part of a broader Freescale PowerPC chip-based product line by THTF's Shenzhen R&D center and shown to the public at the 2008 CES in Las Vegas in January 2008.〔http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/01/09/limepc-little-linux-big-possibilities/〕〔http://greentechgirl.com/green-computing/cherrypal-limepc-architecture/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherrypal is a California, USA-based marketer of Chinese-manufactured consumer-oriented computers.
