Crunchpad already ’steamrolling’, to cost between $300 and $400 USD

If at this point in time you still haven’t found your mobile Web surfing device of choice, you might want to take a look at Michael Arrington’s CrunchPad again as there are quite a few new updates regarding the said device. First, Michael Arrington himself has confirmed that the Crunchpad is already steamrolling and that the costs keep coming down so expect it to be launched very very soon. Second, it’s going to cost about $300 to $400 USD plus advertising in the form of sponsorships, and while I’m not sure what exactly that means I’m willing to bet it’s just another way of saying, “We’re going to show ads on the screen whenever, wherever,” though of course I could be wrong.
Also, it’s going to be sold only on the Web. So clearly Michael Arrington knows what he’s getting into with the somewhat ridiculously high pricing, considering how much already existing mobile Internet devices like the iPod touch and Archos Internet tablets cost (clue: somewhere around half the price of the CrunchPad. Right now, the CrunchPad isn’t available anywhere online or offline but expect a big announcement to come out about it soon.
