 <title>TechCrunch announces its touchscreen tablet available by the end of October?</title>

&lt;p&gt;TechCrunch has been teasing readers with pictures and video of a prototype touchscreen Web tablet (also known as the &amp;quot;CrunchPad&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Crunch Tablet&amp;quot;) for several months. The most recent photos, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/04/09/crunchtablet-hits-the-net-a-little-early/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;released in April&lt;/a&gt;, show a slim, Atom-powered device that has an on-screen keyboard and even packaging.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The CrunchGear post brags that &amp;quot;it&#039;s real and it&#039;s spectacular,&amp;quot; but a new hardware launch in a market crowded with sub-$400 netbooks, iPod touches, and the Kindle 2 will be a challenge. Manufacturing, distribution, and sales all have to be worked out before launch can occur.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;PREDICTION:&lt;/span&gt; TechCrunch will formally announce by the end of October 2009 the launch of a tablet computer. This is just an announcement; the actual product launch can take place after October 31.&lt;/p&gt;
