Inside the doomed Crunchpad Michael Arrington, the man behind Techcrunch and the Crunchpad writes today that ‘the Crunchpad is now in the Deadpool’ . It doesn’t come as a complete surprise – there wasn’t any news for quite some time, and the leaked fotos and videos had also stopped. What is suprising, and a good a read as well, is how the project crumbled and how far they came. According to Arrington, the Crunchpad was working and the software was stable. There were some last minute hardware issues, mainly with the 12″ capactive touchscreen, but they still expected to launch on Nov.20 of this year. But then a bizarre equity struggle took Techcrunch by surprise. It seems their development partner, Fusion Garage, tried to renegotiate the terms of the development contract they had with Techcrunch at the very last minute, essentially cutting Techcrunch out. It looks like we may still see the Crunchpad, but certainly not with the Crunchpad name. You can read the full story at Techcrunch here .

I have an Acer Netbook which runs on Linux. When I bought it nearly a year ago I put in a password which I now can’t remember (I know, I know). When I try to download certain software, it asks me for this password. How can I find out what it is?

15" Nvidia Tegra Touchscreen Tablet The prototype we’re looking at here is a Nvidia Tegra powered tablet with a resistive touchscreen display spanning somewhere around 15 to 16 inches. It runs Windows CE , the company behind the machine is ICD. This particular unit was built to try and convince T-Mobile to order some units – presumably to fit a 3g modem and bundle with a data package. The device, being a protoype, wasnt’ as finished as a production unit, but nonetheless impressive. The overall construction is under an inch thin and the tablet is capable of 720p video playback. Even more impressiveas the excellent wireless recharge station base which can magnetically support the whole tablet in an upright position. It reminds us of what we imagined the Techcrunch tablet was to be ( will be? ), albeit a few inches larger. This looks to be the shape of smartbooks / tablets to come. You can check out the video over at Engadget.

We’re going on the assumption here that the lads and ladies over at QiGi haven’t actually heard that “smartbooks” have a vaguely defined look and feel , as the outfit’s latest handheld definitely looks nothing like the smartbooks that we’ve seen emerge over the past few months. In fact, the Windows Mobile 6.5-equipped device looks more like a MID than anything else, boasting a 5-inch 800 x 480 display, only a few face-mounted buttons and 1GB of memory. Hit the read link if you’re interested in a poorly translated review, and good luck finding one of these in the open market (at least with an English-language operating system). QiGi’s Smartbook is more like a WinMo 6.5-powered MID originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:16:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

MSI Wind U230 MSI has announced a new dual core netbook called the Wind U230. It pushes the limits of what can be called a netbook with its AMD Athlon Neo X2 processor and 12.1 screen. On the graphics front, the U230 has HD3200 intergrated graphics, which is said to beat out Intel’s GMA 4500MHD for most tasks. The cost of all this performance however, is that battery life is not up to part with the Intel CULV platform netbooks. Hexus has a review of the MSI Wind U230 already, they point out: The U230 is thin 24mm but the 6-cell does portrude from that thickness. Touchpad is subpar when compared to other netbooks. Good keyboard, easy to type on. Good Speakers. Integrated HD3200 graphics superior to Intel GMA4500MHD graphics – huge difference Low battery life – just over 3 hours (3:13) The MSI Wind U230 is scheduled to ship in January in the UK priced at £399.

I would like to buy a netbook instead of a laptop (cheaper and more portable). But I am worried that it wont be a good choice for word processing and my music. Does anyone here use a netbook for Word and iTunes, and is it adequate? Any brand/model recommendations? Thanks a lot for the input.

A spare mini PCI-e slot has been removed, the solder points are still visible. Only one antenna is installed, not two Clock generator not listed in SetFSB so overclocking is a little tricky right now He notes that taking the T91MT was quite tricky, and he won’t be undertaking the task again!
