JooJoo Tablet Dies, Fusion Garage Continues On

Posted by timothy on from the expiration-date dept.

vanstinator writes "Due to heavy competition from the iPad and a less-than-stellar entrance into the market, Fusion Garage today released a statement saying that the JooJoo tablet is no more." Company founder Chandrashekar Rathakrishnan says that the company will move forward, but hasn't provided much information about future products. According to Geek.com, "The JooJoo has had a short life and will be remembered more for the fighting it caused between Fusion and Michael Arrington than anything else. It started life as the CrunchPad and a collaboration between Arrington and Fusion Garage. Then Fusion cut Arrington out of the picture, the name was changed to JooJoo and the price increased from $200 to $500."

    I could drive to the Apple Store during the time it takes to say that guy's name.

    Sorry to hear that. Fusion Garage was in the middle of recording a new CD. Still, I think another drummer could fill in.
