A look at JooJoo web tablet, the iPad rival

Talkback

• That sure beats the iPad as far as I'm concerned. Now, to buy one, if only I could sell my car . . .

• This is vastly better that the iPad in every respect. If I were buying a tablet PC this is the sort of thing I would want. The only addition I would have liked would have been a wired Ethernet port.
  
  P.S.
  This item is actually good enough for me to brave the still gawd awful zdnet login, and almost unreadable layout {sigh}

• Looks, a few bigger fo me, but the idea of Linux inside a tablet is sooo atractive :)

• This is a crappy product according to the major tech sites in the U.S, like engadget, gizmondo, and many others. It's so bad that they only manage to sell 64 unit in the whole world. I wouldn't buy this even at half the current price, which is ridiculously over-priced for a product with this quality and unknown vendor battling lawsuit from TechCrunch for unethical business practices.

• @vimurphy - As I recall, some of those early write-ups reflected the high quality of the hardware, but were concerned about the software. Those other sites played with the device a while before we did, and they got what was, by all admissions, a half-baked OS. We saw a more complete OS, which seemed to work fine, and more updates are coming over-the-air this month.
  
  In any case, each to their own. We played with it, and liked it. And, on the subject of price - I would be extremely surprised to see any equivalent device come in under that price, whether or not Arrington originally intended it to be sub-$200.
