First Look: JooJoo (CrunchPad)

2009-12-07
today was the first solid information we have had on the device formerly known as the crunch pad now known as the juju if you've been following the very complicated saga you'll know that who exactly owns the right to make the juju is up in the air right now but at the least it looks like the juju will be sold soon so let's take a look at what it's all about the juju is a generously sized tablet similar to the often rumored Apple tablet it features a 12.1 inch capacitive touchscreen and a single Hardware button for power everything else is done on screen it runs on a custom UNIX operating system very similar to Google Chrome OS meaning that very little information is stored on the device itself rather it is merely a web tablet to allow you to get online and do your work on websites such as Google Docs however it does feature a built-in four gigabyte flash drive to save your login information and perhaps more the juju has built-in Wi-Fi but not 3G meaning that it won't be very useful on the road unless there's a Wi-Fi hotspot nearby no important tech specs were mentioned in regards to the processor or RAM but they did mention it can render HD video whether it's 720 or 1080 wasn't clear battery life is okay at five hours and boot times are about as you would expect on a tablet fast they claim about ten seconds from hitting the power button to surfing the web and the demo was certainly close to that while it was a brief first look the juju looks very promising from the hardware side of things there's a lot of conflicting information especially in regards to whether fusion garage actually owns the juju at first glance the tablet looks to be a solid piece of hardware though and the price of $4.99 isn't entirely unreasonable although higher than had been quoted earlier it will be available to order December 11th this Friday personally I'm not convinced yet but it could be a major player and then soon to be lit up tablet space we'll find out soon
