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.

When Marketing Goes Wrong: TabCo and Fusion Garage’s Grid

Chris Burns, Aug 15th 2011 Discuss [6]

This Monday we were treated to the final reveal of what the mysterious “TabCo” group was and what sort of tablet they’d be making that would, as they said several times, “reinvent the wheel.” This presentation began with an absurd video filled with a collection of the worst possible set of actors that whoever is in charge of casting for TabCo was able to find – a line spoken in the video encapsulates the absurdity: “Okay, Bye, Hungry?” What was supposed to act as a revelation and a simple showing of a brand new way of going about working in the mobile market quickly descended into a renewed set of confusing points of order and a tablet which, in fact, wasn’t going to be made or branded with the TabCo name at all – it was all a front!

JooJoo 2 with Android and custom UI due 2011

Chris Davies, Oct 26th 2010 Discuss [2]

Fusion Garage's JooJoo tablet hasn't exactly set the world alight - though it is keeping some lawyers in business - but the Singaporean start-up is already looking to the second-gen model. According to Gizmodo, the new JooJoo is expected to arrive in early 2011, and use Android as its OS. While it may not have access to the Android Market, Google's policies depending, what Fusion Garage is working on is their own UI system which pulls together messaging and social networking.

Fusion Garage criticized for JooJoo software GPL failure

Chris Davies, Jun 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

Fusion Garage are coming in for some criticism over their handling of the JooJoo tablet's software, with open-source advocates discovering that the company aren't distributing their source code as required by the GPL. Matthew Garrett spent some hands-on time with the JooJoo recently, and aside from some concerns over the hardware - "pretty much held together by string and a following wind" is how he describes the slate - his biggest complaint is that not only is the source for Fusion Garage's modified Ubuntu OS not available, when he contacted them they told him they're not yet distributing it.

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

Only 64 JooJoo tablets sold?

Chris Davies, Apr 23rd 2010 Discuss [7]

Fusion Garage's JooJoo tablet wasn't exactly the storming success the company might have hoped for, and finally shipping only days in advance of the iPad going on sale certainly didn't help matters. So just how many JooJoo tablets were sold? Going by a shoddily constructed email that looks to have gone out to all of the company's customers, the total could be just 64. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Apr 6th 2010 Discuss [5]

Last we heard of ICD, the company were showing us their Tegra 2-based Vega and Ultra tablets at CES 2010; now they're back with details of a new model, the ICD Gemini, again using the second-generation 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra chipset and now paired with an 11.2-inch touchscreen (using either a resistive or capacitive panel, both of which support multitouch).

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
