Chris Davies, Jan 9th 2012 Discuss [1]

Company founder Chandresekar Rathakrishnan apparently signed the liquidation documents on January 5, just ahead of CES kicking off. Read The Full Story

Fusion Garage apparently implodes: Grid10 MIA

Chris Davies, Dec 19th 2011 Discuss [1]

Tragicomic tablet firm Fusion Garage has lost its PR company, frozen sales of its Grid10 slate and has left pre-order customers waiting for their purchases for months, in what looks like it could be the company's final gasp. After significant downtime over the weekend, Fusion Garage's site and online store now merely says "We are running out of stock" when trying to place a new order; meanwhile, the firm's PR agency has dumped them over zero communication with existing customers.

JooJoo Gets Mac OS X Upgrade, Unofficially

Evan Selleck, Jun 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

The JooJoo is one of those tablets that may have been more suited for the past, instead of the present. While the CEO of Fusion Garage firmly believes that his tablet device, formerly known as the CrunchPad, is better than the competition, sales numbers, and reviews, would likely speak to the opposite effect. So, if you were one of the handful of people out there to actually order (and receive) your JooJoo, we've got some exciting news for you! You can now install OS X on it. Read The Full Story

JooJoo arrives, is unboxed, is really real!

Chris Davies, Apr 2nd 2010 Discuss [1]

Conspiracy theorists start your engines: either the JooJoo really is shipping, or Fusion Garage have crafted a special unit just for Engadget to unbox and are sitting, sniggering behind their hands at our ongoing gullibility. Mere days before the iPad is set to hit shelves, the contentious JooJoo has finally arrived and - going by the demo video which you can see after the cut - it even works, too. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Mar 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

Chalk this one up under "things we didn't really expect to see happen", but according to Fusion Garage the JooJoo tablet is now shipping. Up for preorder since early December 2009, those people who risked their $499 should apparently receive their orders by Monday, March 29th. Read The Full Story

JooJoo on track to meet March 25th ship date?

Chris Davies, Mar 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

From one shipping tablet to another, and to be fair this second beast is one we had our doubts would ever reach preorder customers. Fusion Garage's JooJoo site has been quietly updated, ditching the previous "preorder" terminology and instead taking proper orders for the tablet formerly known as the CrunchPad.

Here we are again with another week in review, the last week in review before Christmas!

A later update found that support for AT&T at all was unknown. Read The Full Story

Fusion Garage on Arrington suit: “sad rants of a person championing a losing cause”

Chris Davies, Dec 18th 2009 Discuss [2]

The TechCrunch/Fusion Garage saga continues, and as predicted the lawsuit Michael Arrington brought against his former partners over the CrunchPad/JooJoo tablet is only the start of the mud-slinging. Fusion Garage have released a public rebuttal to Arrington's comments, suggesting that they do, in fact, own the IP involved, that they have already received $3m in funding with another round imminent, and that the TechCrunch founder's complaints are naught but "the sad rants of a person championing a losing cause".

Orange Tabbee web-tablet gets video hands-on

Chris Davies, Dec 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

While all eyes may be on the JooJoo/CrunchPad (and most editorial concentrating on skewering the home web-tablet segment) it's easy to forget that there are other devices out there, already on sale and offering just about everything the contentious slate promises. One such example is the Orange Tabbee, announced back in April and on sale in France since June for €249 ($362). Charbax caught up with the 7-inch tablet at LeWeb and shot some hands-on video.
