Idiots. That comment appears as if it was made by some other asshole. Look, the name is “michael arrington” and not “Michael Arrington”. Look carefully for spelling mistakes in quotations:

“this” is all nonsense. Biggs has the same access to information about the “crunchpad” that all press has at this point, meaning none. He’ll know more shortly, but right now he’s just speculating.

Also that person wasn’t clever enough to link to Arrington’s Twitter account.

Michael Arrington always does proper spelling. Do the typos make it look obvious? Not really.

I would ask the admin to fix that please.

P.S. The post looks kind of true.

I am thinking along the lines of Fx, two options. One basic around $199-250, deluxe package $350-450. Cover both ends of the fence and come initially around expected price point, with people spending more to get the “deluxe” version. We’ll see…

It is not clear to me whether an Atom N270 running at 1.6 GHz is powerful enough for HD-quality video or Flash without significant assist from the graphics chip. nVidia’s Ion platform should help for HD video, but I have read elsewhere that it does not substantially help with Flash video.

It might be difficult to keep the price at or near the original target while also being able to display video without maxing out the processor. One possible solution is to offer two versions: a standard $250 text-centric version for e-mail, blogging, and text-mainly websites, and a premium $400 video-enabled version with support for web-video, memory expansion, and additional applications.

My thinking on this whole situation, and the reason there hasn’t been any announcement is because they plan to pull an Apple. Here’s our new product, available tomorrow. That would make sense to me, but of course, just speculation.

@Trooper P

It’s my speculate.

TechCrunch seem to sure about upcoming Apple tablet. thing like view video and 3G is coming.

There is also other web + video out device. Like Zune HD too.

When Nvidia Ion is easy way to get high resolution video and hdmi – GMA950 don’t support HDMI -. It also help render flash video. so yes it’s a cool option to have.

On down side. Nvidia Ion will add cost to device too.

So when crunchpad’s price just jump from between $200-$300 to $399. I think it might be Ion and 3G…who knows.

put4558350,

Thanks for commenting.

There has been no indication that the CrunchPad will come with Nvidia Ion platform.

It simply is an Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz.

Maybe Big M decided to go with it…who knows.
