The most highly acclaimed, globally praised Fusion Garage’s re-branded CrunchPad JooJoo tablet is dead — this according to tech site e27 in an email exchange between themselves and Fusion Garage founder Chandrashekar Rathakrishnan. The news isn’t all that entirely surprising given rumors of a rather pathetic 90 units sold…total. (Though Chandra obviously denies such low numbers.) But don’t count Fusion Garage out just yet.

Lawsuits and bad sentiment be dammed, the JooJoo and it’s creators will not give up. While their first stab at this whole tablet thing was pretty pathetic, the company hopes that version 2 will be a much bigger hit. Helping to accomplish this goal is the abandonment of their own, in-house OS in favor of the latest and greatest flavor of Android (we hope the latest at least…).

But Fusion Garage went back to the drawing board and at least made the best of what they had, turning this seemingly downtime filled delay into a...
The JooJoo, CrunchPad, wonder tablet — call it what you want. Since the much publicized falling out between TechCrunch’s Mike Arrington and Fusion Garage’s Chandra Rathakrishnan, the JooJoo’s future has been rehashed many a time. On one hand, you have this small company putting out their own in-house creation against countless other tablets as well as the big gun Apple iPad. After seeing countless reviews full of videos and pictures, I have come...
