Coming out late July or early August!

I've been hearing about this thing for a long time but they finally anounced some more info.

"Arrington will supposedly schedule an event for the end of this month or early August. It will retail for less than $300 and be available 'as soon as possible.'"

Not sure if I am more excited about this almost, not quite but knida official news or that they talked about an oversize Ipod Touch.

Ugh. I certainly hope so. I REALLY want something like this. Either this, the Mac tablet, or anything comparable. I think the multitouch slate tablet in the sub 800 price range is an awesome idea. I think it would be much more useful than a netbook. I have no use for a netbook, but if someone came out with a tablet like that, it would be awesome. Desktop at home for the real work, and take this around, because aside from that, the only thing I need is web browsing. Something like this feels like its way from the future, and for this price, I would pick one up as just a conversation starter.

I've been assuming there is at least some basis for this rumor as the article was repeated/linked on crunchgear's own site.

Of course, there is one member of gdgt who knows for fact if this is true or not - the one listed "owner"...

When can we pre-order? This looks awesome for nightstand use.

Well, late July has past and we're approaching mid August. Still, this CrunchPad isn't out. I'm not all to excited for such a product but am interested to see some reviews once the item is released but, hopefully that's sooner rather than later.

Yea it seems way past when we expected more news and all is quite on the TechCrunch front... wonder what the delay is? It'd be great for them if they can roll it out before any tangible Apple news breaks the market.

I've heard November 09 touted as a possible release date.

I, like USAF22, would like something to come out in this product category...i.e. a touchscreen tablet with ubiquitous connectivity and I would like to also see some e-reader functionality and FLASH out of the box at the very least.
