REVEALED! CrunchPad Web tablet is built by geeks, for geeks
Editors Note: This is going to be the next killer piece of hardware. Amazon better take notice, for its Kindle is going to be at the way side soon. This tablet has a huge screen compared to it and it looks much less bulky (Not to say the Kindle is really bulky in the sense). With a wifi connection and skype, this is the killer portable internet communications device. I would like to see in Generation 2, a web cam built in that works with Skype so I can do video calls. Kudos Mike and AlphaGeek, I will be getting one or you could send me one to review.
News:
Spy pics indicate this US$300 touchscreen Web tablet created by TechCrunch founder and Web 2.0 entrepreneur Michael Arrington could even beat Apple to the ‘iTablet’ punch!
One of the most hotly-awaited tech products of 2009 has just broken cover. It’s not the oft-rumoured Apple tablet but it could be the next best thing, and potentially even more popular in its appeal to the geek elite.
It’s the CrunchPad, a touchscreen Web tablet created by alphageek and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington. The concept behind the CrunchPad is simplicity in itself: a slim and lightweight ‘Web tablet’ designed purely for the Internet. No keyboard, just a touch-sensitive 12 inch screen with the obligatory virtual keypad. Linux as the OS, of course, loaded onto a solid state drive for super-fast boot times and nimble performance.
