Those pics of the TechCrunch CrunchPad that “mysteriously” appeared on the web yesterday are now all over the place and Arrington had to give us the state of the union about them. The CrunchPad is looking pretty darn good if you ask me, but it’s important to bear in mind that this thing may not ever appear on the market.
There are lots of factors involved and let’s hope that Arrington and crew get them all in line and that the CrunchPad does make it to market. Would I buy one? I don’t know, but my gut feeling is probably not. I’d have to see how good the touch-screen works with the on-screen keyboard since that’s the only way to get text into the CP. Like a lot of people I’ve moved largely to the cloud and that means that even though it’s not designed for it, I’d be needing to type in emails, Tweets and who knows what else. I think that fake keyboard would grow tiresome awfully fast. I hope I get a chance to play with one though. Mobile tech is cool.
