VentureBeat: TechCrunch founder launches hardware startup

  • Douglas Karr · 5 months ago
    As manufacturing costs continue to plummet, I believe we're going to see a new evolution of hardware opportunities on the market. Flexible manufacturing systems are going to do for hardware what software as a service has done for software. I look forward to the day that I can design my own hardware online and get a prototype sent in the mail.

    he sure can find tons of funding to make it.

    The question is: can a lawyer design a device that can compete with "the little guys" i.e. amazon, apple, dell, sony, m$ ?

    My fingers are crossed that this will be awesome. I constantly wish my EeePC 1000HE was just a touch screen.

    That is very interesting he chose a news paper over twitter. With so many articles discussing twitter it seems like TechCrunch loves the service, they may even be obsessed. This might be a dumb question, but do you think his decision had to do with shipping issues?
