TechCrunch would never respect a company asking them to take down leaked photos... and these weren't leaked, they were published publicly. By which I mean: Can someone who has local copies of these put them up somewhere? (Dustin?)
I'd be interested to see them.
Also, not sure what the netbook comment in the post really means. It was pretty evident how big netbooks were going to be after the first Eee PC went for sale, which was late 2007. But that doesn't really matter, since Arrington's tablet isn't really anything like a netbook (at least, not as they're traditionally defined now).
We're going to start to see a lot of cheap, touchscreen tablet PCs running Linux and Android (and maybe Windows 7), though, over the next couple of years.

- dcurtis 18y agoIf I was going to launch something like this, I'd want to keep it secret until it was ready for market. Arrington obviously made a mistake by posting the photos, and it ruined the surprise. I took them down to be nice. TechCrunch has never done me harm. But I put them back up because they seem to have propagated everywhere now.
- jonursenbach 18y agoNo he leaked them on purpose to drive up interest in the project. What we're all doing right now is exactly what he wants.
- dcurtis 18y agoIt's possible. I'm happy to drive up interest in this though. It looks like a genuinely awesome product.
- Jigta 18y agoIf thats the case, you should have updated the post saying "seeing as how the photos are now everywhere, Im putting the pictures back up."
