The Crunchpad was a project formed by the founder of Techcrunch, Michael Arrington. It was supposed to produce a twelve inch tablet style computing device, it would have had some storage, possibly would be using Intel Atom processors, so what went wrong then?
First up would be the price tag of around $300, there are plenty of devices in that zone already and some that offer a lot more for less. There also seemed to have been an issues between the firm that Michael has partnered with, could they have wanted it all for themselves?
Whatever the issues, the Crunchpad is dead and lessons have been learned, maybe!
Of course, there is also the tiny matter of Apple and Microsoft, both companies are expecting to deliver something different based on a tablet style device, you can’t compete with that can you?
