The CrunchPad Is Resurrected as the Joojoo - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com

Perhaps a future TV mini-series…

For those of you who care most about how to get your hands on one of these, here’s what you need to know: the black tablet, with a 12.1-inch touch-screen, boots in nine seconds and connects to the Internet. It has no other applications — it’s just for browsing the Web — and a touch keyboard appears when the user needs it. The Joojoo will be available for preorder on Dec. 11 for $499 at TheJoojoo.com and will ship 8 to 10 weeks later, according to Fusion Garage, the company that is producing it.

For those of you who care most about the drama behind the scenes, read on. The protagonists are Michael Arrington, the influential founder of the TechCrunch blog, and Chandrasekar Rathakrishnan, Mr. Arrington’s former friend and business partner and now enemy.
