I too submitted an order, and my order was cancelled. Then I saw this forum.
Finally I realized that Cherrypal headquarters is only two blocks from my house. I met with him, and agreed to purchase 3 units.

The africas I got are small, white. Having two speakers, a trackpad, one SD slot, three USB ports, and a network port, headphones and a microphone. I wanted linux boxes, but Max didn't have any available that way - they are mostly at the warehouse. These are running windows CE.

It has a via ARM-VT8500 CPU and 128mb of ram. I think it has 2gigabytes of ram. and a wifi built in.

Windows explorer, a spreadsheet, an audio recorder. Basically this is a cheap laptop server.

So, this is not a scam. Until the credit cards get taken care of, cherrypal is accepting checks.

My next move- try to install chromium os or linux on this guy. Wish me luck.
