Well, not if - as the story suggests - the intellectual property is jointly owned by TechCrunch and Fusion Garage.

That was the critical mistake. Always own all of your IP. If you sub out anything you need it in a contract. When he agreed to jointly own IP with fusion garage he essentially lost control.

It looks like the Crunchpad just runs fusiongarage software. Maybe they just didn't like the terms to run their software on the device. This seems like a strong possibility.
