The Crunchpad is the mobile web tablet created by the people behind tech news site Techcrunch. Recently rumors of the specs started floating around on the interweb.

It’s a very simple device, made for web browsing:

# Dimensions: 12.77 x 7.83 x 0.74?
# Weight: 1.2kg
# Screen: 12?
# Hardware: 1.6GHz Atom & 1GB RAM
# Software: Webkit browser/operating system, developed by the Fusion Garage team
# Peripherals: 1x USB port built-in, for keyboard or mouse
# Connectivity: WiFi & 3G, with option for mobile broadband
# Price: Unconfirmed, estimated US$399

The question is if the price can be pushed down to below $300 or even $200. At the rumored price point, the Crunchpad is competing with netbooks such as the EEE Shell with keyboard and full Windows XP support.
