The Death of the TechCrunch Tablet
Knowing Arrington, I’m sure there’s more to this story than meets the eye. A design shop startup doesn’t steal the idea of their feature client on a whim. I’m willing to bet there were either events leading up to this or that this is simply heavy handed negotiation. If it’s the latter, count Arrington’s post on TechCrunch as his rebuttal.
But ValleyWag nails it: here we have an unreleased, now “dead,” tablet that was declared Popular Mechanic’s ‘Product of the Year.’ How odd.
Between this and Condé Nast and The NY Times betting the farm on a vaporware Apple Tablet, tablet hype is beyond ridiculous. We’re beyond iPhone levels of anticipation.
