Arrington Responds To the JooJoo, Files Suit

itwbennett writes "Not normally 'one to enjoy a casual read of a lawsuit,' blogger Peter Smith admits to finding the suit Michael Arrington is filing against Fusion Garage over the JooJoo (nee CrunchPad) fascinating. 'Skip to page 4, starting with item 11,' says Smith. 'At this point I don't know what to think, Every time I get close to pretty much accepting Arrington's story at face value, he pulls something that makes me stop and reexamine his arguments.' For example, says Smith, in one bullet point in Arrington's latest salvo, he calls out the press, saying 'it is irresponsible for press to link to the pre-sale site.' 'This attempt to directly sway the press away from Fusion Garage really spikes my suspicion meter' says Smith. 'After all, Arrington is the press. If I started writing screeds advising him on what he should or should not say about a product, what would he think?'"

  1. JooJoo = Linux tablet with 12 inch touchscreen by the+ReviveR · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hadn't heard of JooJoo aka Crunchpad before so did some googling.

    For those who are as clueless as me, it seems to be a tablet pc with a 12 inch touchscreen. Runs a custom version of Ubuntu on Intel Atom.
    Sounds a bit like a bigger version of N810. Sounds a bit interesting, but it's all up to implementation.

    Does anyone know whether you could bluetooth tether this to use internet through something like N900?
