Makes the award "10 Most Brilliant Products of 2009: Techcrunch Crunchpad Tablet" just that little bit more ridiculous. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technol

  It adds significantly to their credibility that they appended this to the article: Update: On Nov. 30, 2009, CrunchPad’s Michael Arrington announced that the product introduction was being canceled, owing to a business dispute. By giving an award to a prototype, PM took a risk: that a promising product created by a smart group of people might fail to be realized. In this case, it seems, we were a bit too quick to act on our enthusiasm for an innovative idea. While this product is not coming to market, Popular Mechanics anticipates that tablet-style devices for consuming media will represent an important trend in the coming year.

    I think in the future they should probably only award prizes to things that actually exist, on sale.
