Crunchpad is basically a low cost web tablet that does not have a physical keyboard. The crunchpad is totally touchscreen and is totally focussed on web browsing. Many big computer manufacturers like Asus, Hewlett Packard Pavilion, Dell, Toshiba and Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook already develop tablet PC, which are similar, but different from Techcrunch’s upcoming Crunchpad. The CrunchPad is far sleeker, and more lightweight than any other tablet PC; not to mention it isn’t even burdened with a keyboard. It is also perfect for watching television. The crunchpad is a very recent development in the computing world.

Some of the CrunchPad’s competitors include the Dell Latitude XT, Asus Eee PC T91-BLK020X Black, Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion TX2-1165EA (NM515EA#ABU), Hewlett-Packard HP TouchSmart tx2-1160ea (NP663EA#ABU), Spectra Flexible One 71M-F (120560), Toshiba Portégé M700-3G13B (PPM70E-0QH02DEN), etc. Whilst many of these competing tablet PCs are quality products, they still lack the uniqueness of Techcrunch’s CrunchPad. The Dell Latitude XT is admittedly  a very handy piece of device as it weighs just 1.61 kg. Asus Eee PC T91-BLK020X Black has an Intel Atom Z520 processor and RAM of 1,024 MB. It has 8.9 inch display and the networking is done through wireless LAN, Bluetooth and LAN 10/100. It provides battery back up of 5 hours and weighs around 0.96 kg. Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion TX2520EA (CJ938EA#ABU) is fitted with an AMD Athlon 64 processor. It has 3,072 MB of RAM installed in it that provides it lightning fast speed. It has a hard disk memory of 250 GB and a display of 12.1 inch.

The CrunchPad, however, offers something completely new and different that no competitor tablet PC can touch. Techcrunch’s CrunchPad is manufactured using state-of-the-art technology that ensures long functional life and high efficiency. The CrunchPad has amazing touch screen that takes the touchscreen experience to the next level.

Recently launched, Asus T91 is a convertible netbook from the company’s Eee PC line; a one of its kind computer that comes with a swiveltouch screen. It has an 8.9 inch touch screen that can be folded back to be used as a tablet or in a traditional net book form factor. Designed to be extremely slim, it weighs only 960gm and measures 28.4mm at its thickest point. Extremely compact and miniaturist in dimensions, the net book is powered by the Z520 Atom CPU and 1GB RAM. It has 6GB Solid State Drive, 16GB SD Card and a 30GB Portable Hard Disk Drive with 20GB Eee Storage, which is ample space for all your media, music, files and other items. It has wireless connectivity (draft-N) and Bluetooth 2.1 that expand its connectivity options. Its other features include a 0.3 mega pixel webcam, digital array mic, two USB ports, 3-in-1 memory card, Ethernet and a pair of audio hacks. The USB ports help connect the net book to external devices like a printer, Apple iPod or a digital camera. The webcam and mic increase its multimedia efficiency and help keep in touch with family and friends even when on the move.

It runs on sealed Lithium polymer battery, which runs for a maximum of 5 hours. Its optional features include a TV Tuner, 3G and GPS. Moreover, the Asus EEE PC T91 comes with a suite of touch-optimised software known as the TouchSuite. This includes applications like FotoFun (flicking through and editing photos), Memos (notes that can be ’stuck’ onto the desktop), Touch Gate (allows switching between modes) as well as an IE Toolbar. Extremely advanced and innovative, the net book has an impressive set of features.
