It's really hard to believe that the crunchpad has come so far. I remember the early talks of asking whether anybody knew of something like this that existed, then talks of building one themselves, and now finally a launch prototype. Very exciting - Wang Yip

Dimensions? - Kevin Pedraja

pricing? - mikepk

Michael in the comments says 12 inch screen and 18 mm thick - Wang Yip

@Jason, precisely - chrisofspades

this'll get hacked to be awesome! - Stuart Evans

wow, this looks really cool - mark

looks So Cool - Amir

kinda reminds me of a larger iphone - Stuart Evans

Will it run flash? If it's cheap enough for newspapers to subsidize for their customers, it could be a finger in the dike. - Kevin Pedraja

yep, it does everything a browser does Kevin - Zee.

Whoa, an ebook reader can look like something other than metric ass? - Matthew DeVries

I like the idea of booting directly to the browser. For the average person, they can pretty much get by in the browser and something like this is all they would need. I would guess however, that this is not going to be targeted at the "average" person to begin with but nonetheless I think it is a move in the right direction. - Mike Bracco

Persistent data connection (i.e. 3G)? - Mike Bracco

I would like more info on the browser. - Christopher A Carr

Big important question...how long after it comes out will it be available in Australia? I'm sold already on it. - George Hall (Australia)

Looks interesting, but what interested me about Kindle is the e-Ink technology - I don't want to read newspapers or books on a screen. Fine for a Netbook replacement, large browser, but seems to be a different use than the Kindle. - Stuart Miniman

This really looks amazing. - Vince DeGeorge

It's really amazing... - zeqing

So, what's the catch, silly business policy, law of physics violation, health risk, monopolistic, or moral violation in this device that is going to keep it from being exactly what we expect and stopping it from taking kindle market share? - Matthew DeVries

I guess I can think of one. Can't use on take off and landing, because it's not e-ink, thus will not hold it's picture without power. - Matthew DeVries

looks awesome. This will definately affect the kindles marketshare considering the iphone is really a competitor to the kindle. - craftsmen_atl from twhirl

Are there speakers? Headphone jacks? - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

i'll believe it when mine arrives in the post (please) - Jamie Vidamour

wow, that does look positively amazing... WANT! - Susan Beebe

This looks really cool, and is what I want for my couch computer. - Chris Patterson
