Under-$300 CrunchPad Tablet Expected This Summer

"In the growing environment of netbooks, smartbooks and other small computers, a new contender will emerge this summer -- the under-$300 CrunchPad tablet. The upcoming launch was reported by the San Francisco Business Times, which said Michael Arrington, who runs an influential technology blog called TechCrunch, will announce the Internet-only browsing device late this month or early next month.

"'Dead Simple Web Tablet'
Arrington began discussing the need for an inexpensive Net-browsing tablet about a year ago, at which time he asked TechCrunch readers for help in creating a "dead simple Web tablet." When he couldn't find a company to take on the task, he spearheaded the effort himself."
