From The New York Times Bits Blog comes a report that Mike Arrington will soon spill the beans on his CrunchPad web tablet in late July or early August. They’re reporting a price point of less than $300 and that it will go on sale “as soon as possible”. I translate that as $299 and “don’t hold your [...]
For those wanting to see more action on the CrunchPad, check out this previously private video. Looks minimalistic in user interaction and very good use of gestures. Here’s the question: what is Arrington doing here that companies like Motion Computing, TabletKiosk, Fujitsu, Microsoft, etc have not been doing since 2001? Is it the instant boot [...]
This picture from Jason Calacanis’ blog sure makes that 12 inch Crunchpad look awfully big as compared to that Apple keyboard. Tough to tell what is plugged into what as well.
Once you’re outed you might as well go with the flow, unless you want to play the legal game. After pictures surfaced last night of the latest iteration of the TechCrunch Tablet, Michael Arrington has decided to talk a little bit more about the project. Of course if you think that that the pictures leaking [...]
Well what do you know, there’s an update on the TechCrunch Tablet. Not only do we have pictures and video, but a new internal name for what is being called a second prototype and a few specs. The CrunchPad is the new name. In Mike Arrington’s update he says the target price has moved from [...]
Scuttlebutt is that Nokia may be working up a 9 or 10 inch Internet tablet that would have a touch screen and a secondary OLED screen, accompanied with Near Field Communication (NFC) for close in wireless links. Of course there is nothing but speculation at the moment and who knows if this is the device [...]
We haven’t heard much about the TechCrunch Tablet in awhile, but it looks like things might be moving along. Michael Arrington posts a picture of Prototype A of the device and an update. We booted the machine in the case for the first time today, accessed the Wifi network and were able to navigate a [...]
Ok, I doubt that Steve Jobs and crew are really feeling the pressure from the TechCrunch Tablet announcement, but the timing of this latest rumor from MacDailyNews, on top of the ““mystery product†talk from yesterday sure raises an eyebrow, even if we’ve heard most of it before. Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, [...]
Yesterday was a relatively slow news day in the space we cover until TechCrunch dropped news that they were seeking advice/support/all comers to develop an open source Web Tablet with a hoped for price of $200. Some thought it was a hoax. My buddy Rob doesn’t think they are serious. Some jumped on it as [...]
The blogosphere and tabletscape is all crazy about Mike Arrington’s “Web Tablet for under $200“. I think it is a great idea and I hope they are serious, but I don’t think that they are. What I do believe, and this is mere speculation, is that Mike is telling everyone that Apple is indeed releasing [...]

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company

That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]

The story though, just serves [...]
