TechCrunch's Michael Arrington, who last year boldly proclaimed TechCrunch would break every embargo it agreed to, apparently has broken his own embargo and leaked some news about his little consumer electronics side project, the CrunchPad.

OK, maybe he didn't really break his own embargo, but we wouldn't put it past him. The fact is Arrington says he's "just about nailed down the final design for the device" and that he'll have "first working prototypes" in a few weeks.

Upcoming MIDs with Intel's new chipset

During Intel's mobility event at Computex Taipei this week, a few device manufacturers showed off their new products bearing the chipmaker's upcoming platform for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) codenamed Moorestown. This platform puts the processor, graphics and memory controller, among others, on a single chip. It's built for power efficiency, and according to Intel, will consume 50 times less power than the original Atom chip when idle.

Companies that showed off their new prototypes included big names such as Inventec and Quanta, but also lesser-known ones such as Finland-based EB. Each of these devices also came with some sort of custom interface built upon either Windows or Linux. This makes sense as fiddling around with a full-fledged desktop OS is difficult on devices with screen sizes of about 4 inches diagonally.

The Moorestown platform is not ready for production at this point, so we won't see these products hit the market till at least next year. Here are more pictures of these upcoming MIDs.
