Techcrunch CrunchPad Tablet PC Needs Partners to Debut
Congratulations to Mike Arrington and the TechCrunch Team for what looks like an amazing new computing device – the CrunchPad. TechCrunch and CrunchGear are reporting on the prototypes with pictures but also noting that they’ll need some partners to produce and market the devices, which really look to me like a combination of an iPhone and a netbook. The object is mostly web surfing here, though I’d think this will compete with a Kindle. For example I’d rather have this than a Kindle since most of my reading is online and I’d want to interact with more than just the “Kindle approved” websites and blogs.
Rupert Murdoch should take notice – this device (assuming screen quality is high) along with some media and book deals he could aquire in a few calls would allow him to jump into the Kindle market overnight.
