CrunchGear — ... months. We more or less know everything there is to know about the CrunchPad, but a few more specs have popped up thanks to the NYT and SF Biz Times.

CrunchPad Coming Soon?
I4U News — ... a company called CrunchPad and that an event would be held at the end of July or in early August to make an announcement and that the device would be available as soon as possible for purchase. The CrunchPad will not have a hard drive or a keyboard and will simply be a device for streaming video and surfing the Internet. The price is said to be under $300. For that money, you can get an iPhone that has storage and some full netbooks. Sounds like a bit of a hard sell to me. Via NYT Posted on Mon, 6 Jul 2009 11:00:00 CDT | by Shane McGlaun ...

Zatz Not Funny! — ... web browsing tablet has gone into hibernation. Perhaps due to higher than anticipated production expenses. Arrington had promised “a big announcement” during the summer months… which never materialized. So something’s definitely up.

And, as a small player, the CrunchPad team would have a difficult time sourcing components at the best rates. A Dell can pull off a minimalist $199 tablet. A ...
