$300 last I heard. It creeped up from the original $200. But $300 is still well within the realm of "awesome".
$300 is a completely awesome price. The closest alternative (Wifi touchscreen PC) is Asus EEE Top PC at $500: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220... And CrunchPad sounds a lot more usable than carrying a bulky touchscreen.

The Always Innovating Touch Book looks pretty good but it's on Pre-Order. Asus is currently available in the market.
I'd certainly choose this over, say, a Kindle. If they can actually deliver, and at the price they've bandied about, I'd love to have one.
One big bonus for the kindle is the battery life (2 weeks? vs a few hours). Obviously, the crunchpad has lots of other things going for it. I guess my point is that they're really meant for two different purposes.
Maybe. I'll believe it when I see it: I don't expect this thing to make it to market.

Another stand so that it can be used as some kind of secondary display would be cool. (Maybe not a real display, but one driven by something like VNC?)

I see the USB port is still there :) Wonder how they will handle storage - suppose I see an image I want to save or stuff I wish to copy/paste and send via gmail. I get that there is no local storage but I hope it will allow inter-process operability.

At the expected price point, or at all? Could you articulate why?
Best-case scenario is a Zune-like reception.

Clearly it should support copy/paste, but on a Web 2.0 tablet I think saving could be replaced with bookmarking/sharing.
