Agreed. I’m a proud owner of an X70 and have to say as of now it is the most well rounded slate available. There’s something I don’t understand though, assuming these guys had venture capitalists to back them up, how was their business plan drawn? What did they propose to the investors to show that this will be a successful product? If it’s so easy for both partners to back out of the project, there must not have been much investment nor a rigorous business plan. We’ve all just been scammed by people who have no idea what they’re doing…I feel delighted this product failed at this point, otherwise it would stop the further development of similar devices in this field.

It would have only made sense with Chrome OS running it. Since both the hardware and OS revolve around the internet and cloud computing.

I am not surprised. I feel sad cause i love the device and the idea behind.

I think the Vega tablets, once they actually run Android and not WinCE, are the more likely inheritors of the CrunchPad market. The 11″ one is almost the size that the CrunchPad was going to be… and between that and the 7″ and 15″ versions, every potential CrunchPad fan should probably be taken care of.

The only question is: will it have a desktop quality browser on it (Chrome, Firefox-for-Android, etc.)?

good, i got tired of it taking a spot in the top 5 list. the x70 keeps getting booted down by devices which havent even left the drawing board… its irritating

I can’t say I’m surprised. There was no news on the crunchpad for the longest time after the prototype was shown that it was pretty obvious something was up.
