Fusion Garage is only mostly dead

Fusion Garage Grid10 tablet

Fusion Garage hits more speedbumps, Grid10 tablet may be as dead as the JooJoo

fusion garage grid10

Fusion Garage doesn’t have a great track record of delivering high quality products. Last year the company generated a lot of headlines with its JooJoo tablet (which started out its life as the CrunchPad before the company parted ways with TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington).

Fusion Garage Grid 10

The Fusion Garage Grid 10 is a tablet with a 10 inch display and an unusual operating system called GridOS.

Fusion Garage Grid10 tablet reviewed, found wanting

Fusion Garage Grid 10

The Grid 10 is the second tablet from Fusion Garage… the company behind the ill-fated JooJoo.
