His babyprematurely spread out over all the internet , Mike Arrington pulls back the relief of the curtain on theCrunchPad connection tab . It still go fantastic .

It ’s a unfeignedly disinvest little slab , project byFusion Garage : The “ bottom - up ” Linux OS it runs boot directly into a new version of the custom WebKit - based web browser , with a entire software system footprint of just 100 MB . The 12 - inch touch screen is capacitive ( i.e. multi - tangible ) , and it runs on an Intel Atom chip ( previously it was on Via ’s Nano ) . And since it can be built for $ 250 , sell it for $ 300 looks potential .

It is purely for internet — it just runs the web internet browser and associated apps for reading news show and e-mail ( and presumably there ’s gon na be a Twitter app ) , watching Hulu and YouTube , and video chat via tokbox . Which is actually precisely why I need it — it ’s very much of the recent trend of dim-witted but attention-getting and attractively contrive monofunctional gadgets like thePeekandFlip — but the single task it execute is that it acts more like a windowpane frame looking out at something much declamatory .

It ’s also a reasonably exciting experimentation in two respect : Do hoi polloi really want to consume the entanglement on a lozenge ? Just howswell of an oxygen is the net , anyway ? At $ 300 , there ’s no hurt in finding out , even if Arrington is being coy about the CrunchPad ’s future at the moment . Jason Calacanis saysit ’s “ so amazing ! ! ! like a giant iPhone , ” so hopefully we ’ll bonk still more about it presently . Like , when ? [ TechCrunch ]
