Following speculation earlier this month that the CrunchPad web-surfing tablet had been held up – or potentially canned – after mounting production costs, project head Mike Arrington has reconfirmed that the slate is on course for release. Speaking as part of the Gillmor Gang videocast (which you can see after the cut), Arrington said that “CrunchPad is steamrolling” and that “costs keep coming down”; however, he also said that the “something between three and four hundred dollars” price tag would be supported by “soft revenue” from “sponsorships”.
