Just like the name implies http://www.osnews.com/thread?411318 http://www.osnews.com/thread?411318 It's a garage operation with some random dudes who fused together bunch of hardware parts and called it a revolution. It's kind of a sad scene, to be honest.

But I have no sympathies for people who peddle vaporware.

They are getting lots of free exposure, and can basically leverage Apple's marketing work for the "tablet concept" in general. Do you think people looking forward to iPad were following Joo Joo development on the side?

Both of these tablets are bollocks, really. Clever consumer doesn't buy anything from the "first batch", but see where the technology is going and let the prices fall a bit (everybody is making a tablet now, so they are prone to).

I'd wait for proper Linux tablets and ignore this locked down crap.

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:03:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (timl) Comments Too much poo poo on the joo joo http://www.osnews.com/thread?411406 http://www.osnews.com/thread?411406 There's a lot of joo joo hate. Frankly, I'm not interested in either the Joo Joo or the iPad. But what most haters don't realize is just how mind-bogglingly difficult it can be to bring a complex hardware product to market. And garage operations are just not equipped to mass-produce something in the volumes necessary to get Chinese-sweat-shop-made prices that you get from even the likes of Apple. But based on the comments I keep seeing, you'd think that anyone interested in designing new hardware on their own should just give up before they even start. That doesn't jive with the FOSS philosophy, and I think that people really should put more thought into supporting grass-roots hardware (even moreso if the hardware itself is FOSS), even if it costs twice as much and has less features. I may buy one just for the sake of being supportive, even if I don't use it! Sun, 28 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (theosib) Comments RE: Fusion Garage.

That JooJoo thingie uses Ubuntu Linux (at least according to Wikipedia), so there should be way more apps available than in the App Store.Edited 2010-03-01 01:59 UTC Mon, 01 Mar 2010 01:56:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Fettarme H-Milch) Comments
