Fusion carport Reveals JooJoo Tablet (ex-CrunchPad)
The green color is due to the video camera
(formerly buzzed as the Crunchpad). Let’s start with the hardware and software as it is more interesting: The tablet has a 12.1″ capacitive screen and can play full HD video. It runs on a web-based OS (probably a mini-Linux + Web Browser like Chrome). The tablet boots in 9 seconds and JooJoo stands for “Medical” in Africa by the way. That’s a tip as of what it could be used for. It will cost $499 and the company will start taking orders soon. Units will ship within 8-10 weeks shipping from order.
The first
thing that you notice is the price. You had probably heard of a $200 price before, but the Fusion carport CEO said that a $200 price for a 12.1″ (capacitive) device that can play HD video is just a fantasy. As he puts it, there are “dreamers” and there are “doers”. I suspect that the bill of materials is much higher than $200 anyway.Permalink: Fusion carport Reveals JooJoo Tablet (ex-CrunchPad) from Ubergizmo | Hot: Palm Pixi Review
