    I wish Michael much success, it is the next evolution in computing.
    I would love to get a barebones model for testing.

    It almost seems that this is late in the arena as I just read an article about multiple screen products soon to be mainstream. Good luck with this as it does look to be a good product.

    the fact that it does not have its own storage and uses the cloud is ingenious!
    all drives fail, just a matter of time, so when it does your data does not disappear!!
    excellent.... and it can cache data locally if necessary for speed...

    No thanks for $400 bucks.

    ok...

    why the heck would someone in the US shell out more than $50 for this???

    400.00!!! hell, i just saw a walmart ad online that was 499 for a 17" toshiba 2.1 intel dual core with 3G ram, and 160G drive!!

    mike's arrogance is that he figured he could do what others hadn''t... but then that's the TC mantra..

    mike is good at self promotion... not so good at creating actual/real value tech!!!

    peace!

    This device will be in the bone pile with the likes of OQO and others that do not have a clue what sells at what price.

    $400 for a CrunchPad with no storage space -- so adding third-part software to the Linux OS core would be difficult, at best -- is too high a price point imho. Consumers would be jumping up and down the Xmas trying to get one if it comes out at $200, but at twice the original target price, it'll be competing with netbooks and low-end notebooks for attention and consumer dollars, imho.
