It appears the increasing competition (and recent HP Touchpad $99 firesale) is getting to Fusion Garage, makers of the infamously terrible JooJoo tablet and now reborn Grid10. Speaking of which, Fusion Garage contacted TIMN this morning to inform them of two critical announcements pertaining to their new Grid10 tablet. The Grid10 has been pushed back until October 1st as it needs necessary Flash certification and a short time to test re-test the device. The price on the...
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 maybe a little hackery fun can change your views, hmm? In the JooJoo forums, some talented folks have managed to put together the necessary code to get Windows 7 up and running over the...
The JooJoo claims it’s better than or at least equal to the Apple iPad because of it’s support for Adobe Flash. Generally, this is a pretty big bragging point to make note of. However, in the JooJoo’s case, the reliance on a lonely Atom processor and beta build of Flash (designed for desktop PC’s mind you) means the overall experience is lacking. Adobe apparently isn’t too thrilled in being so closely associated as a “JooJoo...
