The Kill Switch on the project came down from on high, from “shareholders”. I have no doubt that these are investors protecting interests in other more proprietary investments. The CrunhPad was too open. Funding the project served to give them control over it, and to deter anyone from trying to do the same in the future once they publicly killed the project. This is what we get from giant global corporations. The tell us what we can have. I have a new saying, TBTC — Too Big To Crunch.

yup… They are mind blowing.
CrunchPad could have been a great device for sure. More than that I was really watching it closely because it was so amazing see the power of new media & what it can do…!

Sure we will post more of these…
Do let us know if you find some thing interesting that you think should come here on TechDusts.

Yep… Quite right… CrunchPad was supposed to be a Tablet not a Netbook

“Chrome Os has the potential to turn any net book into the so called CrunchPad.”

Except for the parts about turning the clamshell into a flatscreen, turning the eight or ten inch diagonal into a twelve-inch, turning the screen from TFT to touch, and turning the thickness of the device to less than half. Oh, and making the keyboard and touchpad obsolete. Or… well, just about anything aside from the boot-into-the-browser part, the only thing that Chrome OS might conceivably do that would make it in any way like the Crunchpad proposed to do.

John, I believe your comment isn’t quite right. The point on the Crunchpad was to be a large format (12″ screen) touch screen device – that is what differentiated it from netbooks, regardless of operating system. I, for one, would have bought one the instant it came out.
