Modder installs Windows 7 onto JooJoo tablet, gets touch working (video)
Yeah, we had a few issues with the Linux build installed on Fusion Garage’s JooJoo tablet , but were things really so bad that we needed to shoehorn Windows 7 onto the thing? Nah, but who wouldn’t enjoy that challenge
JooJoo now available in Europe and Canada, new firmware promised ‘shortly’
Who says down necessarily means out? Despite our qualms with the JooJoo tablet, it looks as if the startup is pushing forward with plans to expand availability beyond US borders, as the Fusion Garage order page now clearly states that orders are being accepted from those with addresses in Europe and the Great White North. There’s no exact ship date listed for either of those nations (we’re guessing it’ll depart within 24 to 48 business hours), but pricing is pegged at $499 CAD with free shipping for our northerly neighbors, while those in Europe are being asked to pay €359 ($473) plus €13 ($17) in shipping fees
More bad juju for JooJoo: shipping delays, pre-sale questions
Monday, March 29 was supposed to be a happy day for Fusion Garage — that’s when the first JooJoo tablet pre-orders were scheduled to greet customers . Unfortunately, it’s looking like Tuesday, March 30 will instead go down as yet another day full of unresolved questions for the fledgling company: not only did the 29th come and go without a peep, a new document from the TechCrunch lawsuit sent to Gizmodo suggests that only 90 total pre-orders were made as of February 11, and that 15 of those orders were canceled. Uh-oh.
JooJoo ship date pushed to March 25 due to manufacturing issues
Well, that didn’t take too long.
Joojoo tablet now in production, will support full Flash at launch
That other tablet that was announced just a week ago sure doesn’t seem to be setting Fusion Garage’s Joojoo off course. Not only did it see an increase in orders after the iPad announcement, but Fusion Garage CEO Chandra Rathakrishna just told us that production of the 12-inch tablet has kicked off and that the product is on target to start shipping this month. And it doesn’t sound like legal fees from fighting the TechCrunch lawsuit over the product are depleting Fusion Garage’s bank account: Chandra told us it’s teamed up with OEM CSL Group of Malaysia, which will be footing the bill for manufacturing in exchange for a “low single-digit” percentage of product revenue
Notion Ink’s Adam gets a name, June 2010 release
Well, the first bit of news here is immediately apparent — the heretofore untitled tablet device coming out of India has now been given the name of Adam. After ruffling a few feathers a week ago with its extremely ambitious battery life projections and admittedly mouthwatering Tegra plus Pixel Qi combo, Notion Ink is back with more details on the project.
