CrunchPad tablet is alive, well, and under $400 (with sponsorship)
,----[ Quote ]
| In this week’s Gillmor Gang video, Arrington
| says that the CrunchPad is coming along and
| that it will sell for somewhere between $300
| and $400. He says it costs somewhere in the
| “upper $200s” to build, and that he’s looking
| at ways to help keep costs down with
| sponsorship opportunities, sort of the way
| Firefox makes money for Mozilla through the
| search box with Google set as the default
| search engine. Hopefully Arrington is talking
| about similarly unobtrusive sponsorship.
