No. A 12″ web browser, and nothing more? I don’t see paying more than $100 for it.

So, $500 for web browser? I think I’d do better waiting for a Chrome based tablet.

Or,I hate to sound like a broken record, I can get an Entourage eDGe for that much, and have an e-reader, web browser, VNC/ssh station for monitoring my systems, media player, etc.

Guess which one sounds more appealing to me?

Many, including me were burned. Before plopping down your hard earned cash, take a gander at the notice on Pepper’s current web site.

It sounds to me like TechCrunch was all about marketing it with their own branding for a percentage, but Fusion did the hardware and GUI.
