Sadly, the CrunchPad is no more. There have been a lot of haters directing their spite toward either the product or Michael Arrington and, while I don’t agree with everything Arrington has to say, I was genuinely looking forward to this product.
As with many products and startups, fundamental differences in business partners’ ideas (and, perhaps a bit of greed) killed the CrunchPad.
