Wow, look at the likes pour in! - Pat Hawks

One real time filter per screen would be sorta slick. - Ken Sheppardson

Not to be snotty, but could it handle the new friendfeed? - Christopher Galtenberg

Him throwing out those "It might not happen" comments on the TechCrunch piece makes me worry. I would love to have one of these around for both the office and at home. - Mike Flynn

how about crunchpad impressions in crunchy peanut butter? ;) - bob phillips

Is Arrington underselling it? - J Allen

Christopher: yes, it is fast enough for realime friendfeed. - Robert Scoble

The only downside I see is that it is a bit thicker than I would like. - Robert Scoble

I want one for my living room so people don't need my computers to check their emails. I like the idea of having a cheap internet computer for guests. - Andrew

crunchpad would be great for a variation of my tv/video concept piece. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari... Instead of a rotating barber chair in a room full of video feeds, you could have walls covered with filtered feeds. Imagine Scoble fastened in the chair, without controls, slowly rotating through the feeds. - bob phillips

Do you think I will manage to get one before leaving the bay at the end of the month? Or at least to see it? :) - Federico [Kurai]

@Scoble How thick is it? Hard to tell from the photos. - Mike Flynn

Price will be my only concern lol - Dean Clark

Is it fast enough for Hulu? That's the question. :-) - Kevin Fox

The real question is if it's fast enough for Facebook and playing 10 different racing apps at the same time on Facebook. - Alex Scoble

Hmm... does it have video out? HDMI to a 42+ screen on the wall would be sorta slick - Ken Sheppardson

How's the capacitive touch screen? - Rodfather

I would love to have one with the EEE keyboard - J Allen

Mr. Calacanis just posted one ;) http://beta.friendfeed.com/jasonca... - Lasse Johnsen

Rodfather: the prototypes work great. - Robert Scoble

break the embargo! unless it was a physical violence threat... O_O - Alejandro

Was it heavy? Big battery? Compared to a 2lb device. - Rodfather

Rodfather: it is slightly less than 2 lbs with battery. The engineer who is building them says production units should be lighter. - Robert Scoble

@jasoncalacanis has a picture, is that the latest ? - Ranjith Antony

Boris 'The Blade' Yurinov: [referring to Tommy's gun] Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you can always hit them with it. - shayne catrett

Maybe 4-5+ hrs with an Atom. - Rodfather

Why do I want someone to break an embargo on this? Gee, let me think.... - Bwana ☠

If its priced right, it might be a good way to put up live feeds on your wall and just let them run. No interaction just let the feed run for viewing. Like a Stock ticker. - Santa CW™

I'd pay $200 more if they added a Wacom/Ntrig digitizer along with the capacitive touch screen. - Rodfather

Rodfather check out this video http://qik.com/video/1429553 in which Michael Arrington gives a price of $150. It's near the end. Is he talking about the CrunchPad? You be the judge. There are also shots of the CrunchPad. - Loren Heiny

The threats are rich coming from a guy who broke the FriendFeed Beta embargo an hour early just to get the scoop! - Paul Jacobson

give jcal my love! xo - sean percival

$150 with a nice profit? We'll see. Looking at Steve's guesses on specs and price, it's looking a bit more. http://www.umpcportal.com/2009.... I don't know how much individual components cost but would like to know how much a 12" capacitive touch screen is. - Rodfather

Sounds like we'll know next week. - Loren Heiny

The $150 is a joke. I don't think they will be that low. - Robert Scoble

I wouldn't think so either. He didn't jump at your offer of $1000. :-) - Loren Heiny

michael thinks "..on sale next week and delivered next month" http://qik.com/video/1429553 - Lasse Johnsen

Developers/engineers always underestimate what a hardware product costs (wishful thinking or deliberate misinformation?). The parts costs may be $150-200 (but even then unlikely) but what about all those other little incidental things like transporation, money costs, packaging costs, marketing costs and god knows what else? - Brian Sullivan

Like profit? (Is that 'money costs'?) - Kevin Fox

I just want to use Loren's Inkgram app again. http://www.tabletpcpost.com/InkGram.... Add a digitizer and pen garage and price it $400-600. - Rodfather

Yeah well that too. - Brian Sullivan

Will get one if it runs Linux. :D - Rom Feria

Robert - ok when you are allowed to - post pics!! :) - Susan Beebe

I like seeing that the units appear to be working prototypes. That's cool. Always difficult to tell from single photos. - Loren Heiny

Josh: nah. There are already plenty of pictures out. I just want to be the first customer. - Robert Scoble

LOL - Mona Nomura

I'm guessing VPN and remote desktop (or logmein.com) are outside of the scope of the device? - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

There is no embargo. The people behind this gave a "state of the union" here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009.... It's at the prototype stage, no investors, no business plan. Not to say they won't get this, but it's still early. - Stan Scott

Just had a look at the crunchpad article. Scratching my head on it, but I think it would win me over if it could be used also for graphics purposes...stylus preferably...so can it do that as well? - George Hall (Australia)

CrunchPad would be great for watching movies and hulu - Christian Burns

It's too early for something like this to work considering they will cost >$500 a pop. - Chrimmus Tad

really? that good eh... - Zee.

if i can casually throw this in a backpack WITHOUT the screen getting F.U.B.A.R., then me wants one very much! - shayne catrett

I will believe it, when I see it. - Jim Connolly

Jim are you talking physically see it? OR seeing previews of it as they are all over the net ;) - Nicholas James

Sounds like some people are thinking of using CrunchPads as generic PCs. That's fine if the cost and weight can be kept down. If not, I'd say keep iterating on the concept to see if a netbook or kindle priced device can be developed. Without any of these, the experience is going to need to be quite compelling. - Loren Heiny

Nicholas - I meant to say, I will believe it when I see a devise, as feature rich as this, on sale for less than $150. When did lawyers start designing hardware? I missed that :) - Jim Connolly

What I would love to see in ANY tablet but especially in this one is a decent artwork program. PocketPC's and Palm handhelds were always great to draw with, but were on ridiculous-sized screens. I'm surprised no one has thought to market a tablet computer as an art tool. - George Hall (Australia)
