Rumor has it that a CrunchPad announcement tonight maybe be brewing. Nick Denton, founder of Gawker Media which owns Gizmodo, said in a tweet that tonight at the Gizmodo Gallery there should be “Big gadget news. Not sneak peek of Apple Tablet. But next best thing.” Gizmodo Gallery is a NYC event started in late 2008 to basically showcase dozens of gadgets to the public. It starts today and runs until Sunday. Except here’s the cool thing which makes the announcement much more likely: today is “Media Day” and only invited individuals can attend. Gawker.com, a sister site, also says that will be “killed very badly” if they reveal anything about the product that’s supposed to be a “Bombshell”.

Update: It was the Microsoft Courier booklet. Not at the gallery, just a blog post by Gizmodo.
