Cool Idea: The CrunchPad

Ok, I have no idea where I found the link to Techcrunch (probably on Slashdot), but they have the coolest prototype of a web browsing device I’ve seen in a long time. Check out the concept art, and click for slides of the prototypes:

I would totally love to have one of these – it would be fantastic for sitting in the living room watching TV, or for using laying in bed. Put a 3G or 4G mobile card in it, and you could rock it on the road or on the train. I’d say a good starting pricepoint would be $450 (it’s not quite as fully featured as a netbook, which is sort of the point). I seriously hope they find someone to produce these.
