It’s a sad day at TechCrunch HQ. Hitting the publish button on this post, which makes all of this so…final…is a very hard thing to do. I’m enraged, embarrassed, and just…sad. The CrunchPad is now in the DeadPool.

Strange ending. You’d think that a lawyer like Arrington would have been a bit more careful when it came down to the contracts here.

I don’t believe for a second it was quite as close to launching as he claims, but I do wish it had seen the light of day, just to see if Arrington can actually produce something in line with the size of his mouth.
