Let's just say I'll be keeping my eyes on this one. Almost exactly the device I have been describing any time a tablet discussion comes up. This seems like a class of device that could provide a better video and browsing experience than a cell phone, and be more convenient than a netbook.

Perfect size. It doesn't get in the way on the nightstand, or the coffee table. Could probably still fit it in the larger pockets of some of my clothing. And, it seems like it'd be a great size for watching videos on a plane.

Please, keep updating us on this.

How can she say the video runs smoothly and there's no delay while showing a laggy choppy trailer?

You know, when it comes to little slate machines like this I'd really like someone to make one as a Media Center Extender. A 8-10 in screen, wireless N, HD screen, and Tigra. Awesome! I'd totally buy something like that so I could watch my media anywhere in the house. For web browsing I can just use my tablet PC.

If I remember, the CrunchPad runs its own flavor of Linux. That is certainly appealing, but in the time since it was conceived, there's been a lot more attention paid to Android. I still hold out hope that the CrunchPad will turn out to be a very cool, useful device but I wonder if they might have just timed it wrong and missed the biggest trend it operating systems. Of course, even if they have, there's still a good chance that the platform will be hackable and that Android and Chrome might be put on it. Either way, I've got a piggy bank slowly filling up with enough scratch to buy either the CrunchPad or the next closest thing from Apple. #crunchpad

Crunchpad was dead when they tried for an extremely niche product and didn't just release it right off the bat.

They may have picked up a couple of hundred sales at one point but now the concept of a fully functional multitouch tablet is just around the corner. I'm not blowing $400 on something to browse the web on. #crunchpad

@tande04: The problem resides in what they offer: a multitouch tablet to browse the web, something we all have since 2007. I can do that and so much more on my iPod Touch. #crunchpad

@Axelph: Double the size of an iPod Touch, and I'd use it three times as much. I'd also pay, wait for it.... $400. #crunchpad

I'm not sure if it's just me but I think the Droid v iPhone debate had me favoring Mike over anyone else.

People are quick to call things dead (Hip-Hop is dead, Rock is Dead etc.) and crown people victors. Nokia is still very much in the game, they are losing ground for sure but they are still the number 1 phone maker in the world. They better shift gears to keep that spot but you can't call them dead just because Apple's iPhone is selling extremely well (I mean EXTREMELY well).

But with Droid and iPhone, Mike was pointing out the strengths of the core phone while everyone else was talking about the iPhone's community. Comparing the Android Facebook App to the iPhone Facebook App has nothing really to do with Google and Apple, but more so their community. The iPhone has a strong community, partly why I have one, and Android's community is slowly but surely rising. When comparing the phones, Apples to Apples, you compare the core, not the extended use. Not to say that it should be dismissed but they two different things. Compare the phone to the phone, then the community to the community. #crunchpad

That video is almost an hour long. I know its Sunday and the stories will be few and far between, but an hour long? How about a hint at what time stamp we should FF to… #crunchpad
My bad I see it now… 39:00. Was that there a moment ago when I complained?

These designs *really* remind me of the "CrunchPad" that TechCrunch was working on, although it was running on an x86 processor. Design, and specs sound great (even with the resistive screen - c'mon guys, it's not like the thing is from 1978 or anything), although I'm wondering how the performance will be compared to x86 tablets. Hmmm.... either way, I want something for reading the Giz in bed ;-)

Great image. I'm imagining him saying, "What up bitches? Yeah that's right, running Windows CE. You wanna make something of it? Huh? Well do ya? Yeah, that's what I thought punk. Don't F with me. I'll cut you man!" #nvidiatablet

"What? Are you trying to talk smack about my lappie? Because it sounds like you are. Don't piss me off, pal. I'm 130 pounds of Asian fury.

It's bad enough that you make fun of my receding hairline. You can't just come into Conference Room F and talk like a bitch about the capacitive touchscreen. Mess with me and you'll be in a world of hurt. I drank 2 cans of Red Bull this morning and am on my third K-cup of Jet Fuel.

I swear to God that if you make one more Windows CE joke, I will shove my fist so far up your ass you'll be tasting hand lotion for a week."

Overheard at the team strategy conference just before Ronnie Yu was escorted from the building. #nvidiatablet
