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 […]

Fusion Garage unveils the Grid 10 tablet, makes android look hard
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 […]
Fusion Garage JooJoo 2 clearing the FCC?
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 […]
JooJoo goes vertical: Fusion Garage tablet finds future in enterprise
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 […]
Bad Joojoo: Fusion Garage pulls plug on the Joojoo tablet, focuses on future
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. […]
JooJoo maker Fusion Garage retools its business model
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 […]
JooJoo version 2: Coming soon, with more Google Android?
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 […]
Joojoo ripped for another failing, this time it’s a GPL violation
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 […]
JooJoo tablet hacked to run OS X
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 […]
JooJoo Tablet hack: Drop Linux and install Windows 7
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 […]
