Time to open source the CrunchPad

,----[ Quote ]
| What many people seem to have missed in 
| their coverage of the CrunchPadâs death is 
| the fact that Michael Arrington has 
| repeatedly said that he would âopen source 
| the specsâ. Now Phillip Torrone from MAKE 
| magazine is asking Arrington to do just 
| that.

Picking through the CrunchPad rubble

,----[ Quote ]
| Phillip Torrone at Make, noting that 
| Arrington has repeatedly described the 
| project as open source, is challenging him 
| to release what designs and code he has for 
| the tinkering community at large to play 
| with.

CrunchPad tablet is alive, well, and under $400 (with sponsorship)

,----[ Quote ]
| In this weekâs Gillmor Gang video, Arrington
| says that the CrunchPad is coming along and
| that it will sell for somewhere between $300
| and $400. He says it costs somewhere in the
| âupper $200sâ to build, and that heâs looking
| at ways to help keep costs down with
| sponsorship opportunities, sort of the way
| Firefox makes money for Mozilla through the
| search box with Google set as the default
| search engine. Hopefully Arrington is talking
| about similarly unobtrusive sponsorship.
