It's not going to be an open and shut case but it's not at all clear that Arrington was in the right here.]]>Dec 8th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/

Either way, really can't say that I'm in any way surprised about this. In fact, I would have been VERY surprised if it actually made it to the market.]]>Nov 30th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/

However, if true, it looks like Mr. Arrington might want to have someone double-checking whatever manufacturing contracts he is signing.

I am looking forward to this product. I hope this all gets worked out.]]>Nov 30th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Have to agree, seems like he wasn't paying much attention to those contracts.

a simple rock > a sandwich > fish > hamster > mice > dog and cat > horse > pony > unicorn > Pegasus > Stampy.

So, while unicorn is cool, it is not as cool than a pegasus (you can fly and do a poo bombardment at the same time).

For the CrunchPad, the gestation time just took too long, ARM-cpus are coming in art below $10, Google has shown their OS, Apple is patenting things left and right, the big players are starting to move and there really isn't enough room for a tech start-up anymore. ]]>Nov 30th 2009 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Nov 30th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/I agree - Apple works in secrecy and this is just another situation where they're killing the opposition before they get in the market.]]>Nov 30th 2009 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Nov 30th 2009 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Nov 30th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Nov 30th 2009 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/
Arington-ware? That's when the hype around the prototype is sufficient for the device to defy gravity.

Endgaget-ware? That's when a prototype attracts more postings on a tech blog than the number of devices actually built and sold.]]>Nov 30th 2009 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/

Fusion Garage will sell the tablet on their own, as - according to Arrington - they said they were going to do.
2. Arrington will actually file lawsuits.
3. Nothing at all will happen, and the industry will simply forget that the CrunchPad was even on the radar.

If one or two come true, we'll know Arrington was telling the truth. If number three comes to pass, we'll know he was full of his usual crap. Personally, I'd bet on number three.]]>Nov 30th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Nov 30th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Nov 30th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/Nov 30th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/the-crunchpad-disappears-in-a-puff-of-vapor/
