“Judging by the 900+ comments on the article (when I last
looked) it seems quite a few people care about a the idea that the
CrunchPad could be R.I.P.ped . But I think there is a way to save
it, and at the same time change the manufacturing industry
forever.“First we need to consider Mike’s business approach to the
CrunchPad:““I’ve always pushed to open source all or parts of
the project. So this isn’t really about money. It was about
the thrill of building something with a team that had the same
vision.”“If he’s not overly concerned with making a crap load of
dosh then I think it’s possible that the shanzhai guys might
be able to come to his rescue.”
