First of all, please excuse the rather long title. Secondly, While watching the review by TechCrunch of the HP DreamScreen I noticed a little something in the background. Now this may just be me being hopeful, but it sure looks like the CrunchPad. Take a look at the video and some stills I took below.

The CrunchPad was designed to be a touch screen computer with no hard drive that boots directly to a browser. The computer was specifically for surfing the internet, reading email, and watching YouTube. The computer had a virtual keyboard for inputting usernames and passwords. The CrunchPad was reportedly going to retail for $250; competitively priced against an iPod touch for a living room casual computing device. The CrunchPad was designed and devloped by Fusion Garage in partnership with Michael Arrington's TechCrunch.
Fusion Garage released the product under the name JuJu to a lukewarm critical reception: http://gdgt.com/fusion-garage/joojoo/
