JooJoo Tablet Dies, Fusion Garage Continues On
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."
This is why Apple gained an advantage by abandoning their PC platform and going with a glorified ipod instead.
It got them the cheap price point that real tablet computers have a harder time hitting.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
What's this "and Android" crap? All we have seen so far is the unfinished but released Archos, and a few ultra-shitty tablets from China.
There is no worthwhile Android tablet as of now. The iPad has the tablet market all to itself. It's been what, 6 months since the iPad came out, 10 since it was announced, and over 2 years since everybody saw it coming.
By the time there's a halfway decent Android tablet, there will be a newer, better iPad out. You can bet the farm on that.
