Fusion Garage (of CrunchPad-Joo-Joo Fame) Drops Grid 10 Price by $200 - Only $200 More to Go

Fusion Garage (of CrunchPad-Joo-Joo Fame) Drops Grid 10 Price by $200 – Only $200 More to Go

By Zoli Erdos on September 12, 2011

Some things just can’t die. Like the zillionth incarnation of what was formerly known as CrunchPad…. then after a messy divorce from TechCrunch became the Joo-Joo (sold a few dozen units), and now it’s back as the Grid 10.   I have a funny history with this device. I was a major advocate of the […]

So You Bought a JooJoo – How Will it be Serviced?

So You Bought a JooJoo – How Will it be Serviced?

By Zoli Erdos on April 2, 2010

I know, it’s crazy to talk about the JooJoo (formerly known as CrunchPad) a day before the iPad is released.  But the major gadget blogs do, having received a test unit – and that in itself is a bit of a PR coup for JooJoo.  They should enjoy it while it last.   Too bad it […]

There is one good thing to come out of the Crunchpad

There is one good thing to come out of the Crunchpad

By Dan Morrill on January 5, 2010

The one good thing to come out of the Crunchpad was to ignite a market that had lain dormant for the last couple of years. That is the idea of a slate computer, and looking at what is happening all over the news about CES, manufacturers are foaming at the mouth to get their pretty […]

The Tablet Debate – Situational Device, Take # 764531276534

The Tablet Debate – Situational Device, Take # 764531276534

By Zoli Erdos on January 3, 2010

Gotta love the new debate on Tablets – it’s not about the CrunchPad, JooJoo or the Apple Tablet anymore.  It’s about whether we need any.  Joe Wilcox declared that The world doesn’t need an Apple tablet, or any other. Really?  Well, there was this other guy who famously declared: I think there is a world […]

Crunchpad Make Over -  How Appropriate:  JooJoo equals Bad Karma

Crunchpad Make Over – How Appropriate: JooJoo equals Bad Karma

By Dan Morrill on December 7, 2009

The Crunchpad under an alternative alias/name from Fusion Garage made its debut this morning, under the appropriately named JooJoo. JooJoo in the urban dictionary means “bad karma” or bad luck. Being part of the Monday Morning Drama – Fusion Garage CEO Chandrasekar Rathakrishnan showed off the new JooJoo system that is the Crunchpad as originally […]

Beyond the end of the Crunchpad

Beyond the end of the Crunchpad

By Dan Morrill on December 1, 2009

Many people with much dismay were surprised to see an entry from Michael Arrington about the end of the Crunchpad. With the aftermath of this, the real question is who is ever going to do business with Fusion Garage in the future? Shareholders aside deciding to do something against the desire/wish/ability of a partner when […]

Crunchpad Hitting the Market by the End of 2009?

Crunchpad Hitting the Market by the End of 2009?

By Dan Morrill on October 15, 2009

In what we pray is not another view into vaporware hardware, rumors are abounding this morning that the much anticipated Crunchpad will be available by the end of 2009. This is definitely a hope and pray issue as we have seen this rumor before in July, August, September and now October. The only sure guarantee […]

CrunchPad, Netbooks and Vacuum Cleaners

By Zoli Erdos on July 31, 2009

We covered the CrunchPad a fair bit here, so it’s only natural to report it’s inching closer to Launch.   Or is it rather slipping?  The Straits Times visited Fusion Garage, the Singapore-based company that’s developing the CrunchPad, and published details.  It’s now expected to hit the market in November, just in time for Christmas shopping. […]

Gadget-blogs Fooled by Old CrunchPad Prototype

Gadget-blogs Fooled by Old CrunchPad Prototype

By Zoli Erdos on June 14, 2009

Forget the stolen elections (coup?) in Iran, thre’s more excitement on TechMeme: the unboxing of the CrunchPad prototype, posted on youtube by Loic Le Meur:   I hate to say this.. but I think what we’re seeing here is Prototype C, the previous version, not the final, Launch prototype.   Compare the photos and decide for […]

CrunchPad Getting Close to Launch - Now Really Sexy Situational Device.

CrunchPad Getting Close to Launch – Now Really Sexy Situational Device.

By Zoli Erdos on June 3, 2009

 I admit I was skeptical when Mike Arrington first announced he wanted to build a  lightweight  Web Tablet.  But a few month later we saw the first prototype, which was not particularly attractive – but real.  Mea Culpa, I was wrong. The second prototype was already quite likable, albeit not as sexy as as the […]

CrunchPad: a Netbook Sans Keyboard

CrunchPad: a Netbook Sans Keyboard

By Zoli Erdos on January 19, 2009

I admit I was skeptical when Mike Arrington first announced he wanted to build a  lightweight  Web Tablet.  Skeptical partly because I had just witnessed Ismael Ghalimi of the Office 2.0 fame feverishly work on the Redux Model 1.  I had been doubtful about his effort, too, but his energy level was just radiating, he […]
