In fact, if it was say $500, and I could watch video and play graphic rich games AND good battery life, then I would buy it.\u00a0 If I basically have my iphone (assuming they will have a more open SDK; which means richer apps or a least a subset of Apple apps I can run) with a way larger screen, and USB (or bluetooth) import for a keyboard, then I can see it. So far, the rumor mill says it will not be that powerful. However, if the crunchPad runs linux AND android apps.. Well, then we have a different story again.<\/p>\n<p>As for now, I will continue to love having my TC1100 (which I paid $350 for) as my tablet.<\/p>\n<p>TC1100&#8217;s rule!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tc1100.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1874\" title=\"tc1100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tc1100-285x300.jpg\" alt=\"tc1100\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tc1100-285x300.jpg 285w, https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tc1100.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H3>Related Posts<\/H3><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Google watch is coming.
