Michael Arrington Declares the CrunchPad Dead

In a strange twist of events, the CrunchPad tablet ready for its unveiling on November 10th is now dead.

Michael Arrington describes the turn of events and a partnership gone bad...

Bizarrely, we were being notified that we were no longer involved with the project. Our project. Chandra said that based on pressure from his shareholders he had decided to move forward and sell the device directly through Fusion Garage, without our involvement.

Err, what? This is the equivalent of Foxconn, who build the iPhone, notifiying Apple a couple of days before launch that they’d be moving ahead and selling the iPhone directly without any involvement from Apple.


Unfortunately, while the CrunchPad trademark is owned solely by TechCrunch the CrunchPad product intellectual property is jointly owned. This means a long legal battle is on the way.
