Fusion Garage is entering the tablet market with the JooJoo. This tablet has a 12.1 inch (diagonal) widescreen display with 1366 X 768 pixels. It’s 7.8 X 12.8 X 0.7 inches and weighs 2.4 pounds. It offers WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and it has a USB port. The JooJoo has built-in speakers, a microphone, and it has a camera for video conferencing. It has a rechargeable lithium battery that Fusion Garage says lasts 5 hours with WiFi. It uses a browser-based operating system, and it is Flash 10.1 and Java compliant. It has a capacitive touch screen and accelerometer. There is no mention on Fusion Garage of other applications for the JooJoo. Fusion Garage is accepting pre-orders from the US now, with a promised ship date of 8-10 weeks. The price is $499.

Plus it comes with bonus TechCrunch lawsuits!
Hmm, careful with that plastic. You may never see the product or your money ever again…
Sounds like its everything the iPad should have been…but wasn’t.
“Sounds like its everything the iPad should have been…but wasn’t.”
Except for that whole, you know…running apps thing. And the idea of paying a company that may or may not ship the product, who’s involved in a lawsuit over said product, the same money as an entry level iPad.
No thanks. If it was $199 or $299…maybe.

I’ll wait until I get to play with both devices before passing judgement, but with half the battery life and 60% more weight, I’m not as interested in this as I am in the iPad. Yeah the JooJoo has a bigger screen, camera, and flash, but 2.4 pounds? I think tablets need to be a lot lighter to be successful. Too bad neither device appears to have windowed multitasking.
