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
Litl Webbook plummets from $699 to $399, still can’t catch an eye
It’s tough out there playing second (or third … or tenth ) fiddle.
How would you change Fusion Garage’s JooJoo?
Alright, so we gave you the opportunity to rant and rave on Apple’s iPad last week, and it’s only fitting that Fusion Garage’s much-anticipated JooJoo go next. To date, it’s pretty safe to say that quite a bit less (we’re understating things here, obviously) JooJoo tablets have been sold than the aforesaid iPad, but that’s not to say none of you have one. On the off-chance that you actually are the proud owner of a JooJoo, we couldn’t be more eager to hear how you’d tweak things if given the golden opportunity
Samsung’s Android-powered S-Pad tablet with 7-inch Super AMOLED in August?
Know what’s hot like 2001? Tablet computers.
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
Enso’s zenPad finds the funds to become reality
With only 500 units ordered and 30 scheduled to ship on May 8th, it’s clear the Enso zenPad won’t blow up the world, but it’s nice to see a startup make good on its promises. We’ve yet to receive one of the cheap Android tablets ourselves , but we do finally have proof they’re on the way: Enso CEO Alberto Armandi just sent us an official, signed receipt for the purchase of 500 MID-560A tablet computers from OEM SMiT, along with a bank document proving they have been bought and (mostly) paid for. What happens now is threefold: The 250 buyers who held out receive a rebranded SMiT tablet, the 250 who didn’t get their money back (anecdotal reports indicate refunds are underway), and the whole mess hopefully fades into obscurity, letting the three young entrepreneurs who brought us this niche Chinese device get on with their lives
