The Crunchpad - Just What We Need, Another Reason to Stay on the Couch

A tech blog may not be the 1st place you'd think of when you consider who would create a product like the one you see above. This Apple-esque creation is the result of several prototypes designed by the folks at TechCrunch.com, who were tired of waiting for some big company to release a product like this. So they decided to take matters into their own hands, and with the help fromFusion Garage, they created the CrunchPad.
What did they come up with? From the best we could gather, a 12" capacitive touchscreen that sits flush with the bezel, 18 mm thickness, an aluminum housing, and all powered by an Intel Atom processor.
To say it looks very promising, would be an understatement. With the latest prototype, being a "near final industrial design" of the final product, the CrunchPad has elicited many "ooohs" and "ahhhs" from readers, but also some concerns. With only an 18 mm thickness, will the battery be sufficient for long surfing sessions? Will the wallet friendly price-tag target of about $300 be enough to pack in hardware powerful enough to run the interface smoothly? At this point, with the details they've released, it might be too early to speculate. Another reason to stay on the couch? I for one am definitely rooting for them to deliver me one.

It would be pretty sweet to match these up with Microsoft Surface; you edit the document on your CrunchPad, and then hold it under the Microsoft Surface to get the changes incorporated...
