JooJoo Looks to be Dark Horse in Tablet Race
Posted on 05. Feb, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News
Fusion Garage, a privately funded start-up established in 2008, has a tablet product up its sleeve called JooJoo and it has some hardware specifications that directly go after its competitors. This is a device with a 12.1″ screen, has an integrated camera, boots in nine seconds and supports multitouch. It also has HD capability for video. Check out a short clip of this device:
One concern I have is price. At $499, JooJoo is not offering any sort of competitive advantage against Apple. This also appears to be running a proprietary “browser based operating system” that is developed by Fusion Garage. Since I could not find any other information about it on their specifications page, that’s all I have on what type of operating system this device is running.
With only 4GB of solid state internal memory, this tablet would strictly be used in a cloud environment. Plus, with HD video built-in, the only way for the JooJoo to get content for large high-def video files would have to be from the web. In this case, it would be beneficial for Fusion Garage to get the support of developers who will ultimately need to be able to provide the tablet with applications that it will need in order to go up against the iPad.
Of course, their strategy may be to support web-only applications that are being developed in HTML5 that Google plans to support, with hopes of riding the Chrome OS tablet wave with a product that has some nice features in terms of technical capabilities.
Though JooJoo hasn’t been released yet, it is supposed to be available this month.
