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). When the tablet finally hit the market it was widely panned by reviewers. So this summer…

Fusion Garage made a name for itself with the JooJoo tablet, a disappointing tablet that launched in 2010. Now the company is back with a new tablet called the Grid 10 and a smartphone called the Grid 4 — and they run a new Android-based operating system called GridOS. The Grid 10 goes up for pre-order today for $499 for…

It looks like the folks behind the wildly unpopular JooJoo may be ready to take another crack at this whole tablet thing. There’s a listing for a new device at the FCC website for a product from Fusion Garage — the company that made the JooJoo tablet. There are few details available, but the FCC label ID drawing seems to…

The Fusion Garage JooJoo tablet may not have been a wild success story in the consumer space, but the company is banking on the problem being software-related, not hardware. The JooJoo was envisioned as a web-0nly tablet running a light weight operating system that only served to launch a web browser without the ability to run native apps. While Fusion…

We already knew that Fusion Garage was planning to launch new tablets next year, likely running the Google Android operating system. But now e27 reports that the company’s first (and poorly received) tablet has reached the end of life. Fusion Garage founder Chandrashekar Rathakrishnan says that the Joojoo tablet didn’t meet the company’s sales expectations. He speculates the problem may…

Fusion Garage is the company behind the rather unsuccessful JooJoo tablet computer. But rather than throw in the towel, CEO Chandra Rathakrishnan says the company is changing its approach. While he hasn’t confirmed the rumor that new models will run Google Android, it certainly seems likely given the new approach. The JooJoo was designed to be a tablet that basically…

The JooJoo tablet may not have made a huge splash when it launched earlier this year, with some reports suggesting that as few as 90 tablets were sold during the pre-order phase. But apparently the company hasn’t run out of money and folded just yet, because Gizmodo is reporting that JooJoo is planning its second tablet. The new device is…

Oh, Fusion Garage… Lately it seems the only good news which surfaces about your JooJoo tablet is the result of someone who doesn’t work for you doing something awesome with it — like installing Windows 7 on it. Developer Matthews Garrett recently got the chance to spend some time with the JooJoo, and apart from his concerns about hardware oversights…

Remember a few days ago when hackers installed Windows 7 on a JooJoo 12 inch tablet? Now it looks like you can do the same thing with OS X. That shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. The JooJoo tablet basically has the same specs as a netbook, including an Intel Atom processor and NVIDIA ION graphics. And we’ve seen plenty…

The JooJoo tablet started as an ambitious project called the CrunchPad. The idea was to provide a tablet that was basically nothing but an interface for a web browser, allowing you to sit on the couch and surf, getting online in a matter of seconds. The finished product is pretty much just that — but it’s a bit underwhelming, unresponsive,…

Just because they might only have sold 60-some units and they’re struggling to break free of the iPad’s monolithic shadow doesn’t mean Fusion Garage is ready to give up on the JooJoo just yet. The 12″ tablet recently went on sale in Europe and they’ve now announced some upcoming changes which they hope will offer some additional appeal. For starters,…

The JooJoo tablet is now available for purchase in Europe, where you can pick one up for €359 plus €15 for shipping. That’s actually not a bad deal, as it comes to a few bucks less than the $499 plus shipping you’d have to pay to get the tablet in the US or Canada. But while the price for this…
