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.</p>FxMon, 17 Aug 2009 15:54:52 -0000Re: Touchscreen CrunchPad due in November, but price has crept up to $400http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/31/crunchpad-due-in-november-will-they-beat-apple/#comment-14036858<p>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.</p>petexThu, 06 Aug 2009 02:12:34 -0000Re: Touchscreen CrunchPad due in November, but price has crept up to $400http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/31/crunchpad-due-in-november-will-they-beat-apple/#comment-13803472<p>ok...</p><p>why the heck would someone in the US shell out more than $50 for this???</p><p>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!!</p><p>mike's arrogance is that he figured he could do what others hadn''t... but then that's the TC mantra..</p><p>mike is good at self promotion... not so good at creating actual/real value tech!!!</p><p>peace!<br></p>timSun, 02 Aug 2009 03:35:39 -0000Re: Touchscreen CrunchPad due in November, but price has crept up to $400http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/31/crunchpad-due-in-november-will-they-beat-apple/#comment-13799941<p>No thanks for $400 bucks. </p>JamesSun, 02 Aug 2009 00:01:15 -0000Re: Touchscreen CrunchPad due in November, but price has crept up to $400http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/31/crunchpad-due-in-november-will-they-beat-apple/#comment-13762372<p>the fact that it does not have its own storage and uses the cloud is ingenious!<br>all drives fail, just a matter of time, so when it does your data does not disappear!!<br>excellent.... and it can cache data locally if necessary for speed...</p>byron233Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:49:09 -0000Re: Touchscreen CrunchPad due in November, but price has crept up to $400http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/31/crunchpad-due-in-november-will-they-beat-apple/#comment-13760936<p>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.</p>Simon G.Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:11:21 -0000Re: Touchscreen CrunchPad due in November, but price has crept up to $400http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/31/crunchpad-due-in-november-will-they-beat-apple/#comment-13753328<p>I wish Michael much success, it is the next evolution in computing.<br>I would love to get a barebones model for testing.</p>J.Garcia Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:25:07 -0000
