It was a shame to read the post
Michael Arrington
about the death of the project
CrunchPad
, a kind of Tablet PC -oriented Internet use with screen 12 “touch. The reasons of death not related to lack of money, manufacturing problems, negative expectations with distribution channels and little hope that someone buys the device. It seems that this is a weird game of greed that ended in misunderstandings between the manufacturer and project partners taking a Arrington (and TechCrunch ) of the game for supposedly not interesting enough in the project. Now intend to sell the device without it I assume that with another name, with money from other people and different distribution channels.
I’m very sorry for the admiration of the project: a startup vertical publishing blogs that arises “ of nowhere ” decides to embark on the adventure of building a hardware appliance with the goal to make Internet browsing more comfortable (lying or sitting on the sofa). Da sorrier still see the project
was ready for launch
(two weeks ago at an event), who had money to make the first thousand units, that some electronics stores were not making money selling it ( to support the project) and even got involved Intel Atom processors sell at prices “
ridiculously generous
” as Arrington himself described. Also, the truth, I admire the candor with which the note was published, having exactly the problems that have happened, but read will touch the other side of the coin (if the Fusion Garage and CEO < > Chandra Rathakrishnan
they publish something)

Why don't you make one?
