JooJoo Units Shipping on March 29th
Mar 26, 2010 JooJoo
Fusion Garage claims that the JooJoo tablet is now shipping, with deliveries expected on March 29th. After a bunch of delays, this is finally the good news we’ve been waiting for, specially because the device has been available for preorder since early December 2009. It had a $499 price tag and finally the long-awaited JooJoo units will be in the hands of their owners on Monday.
If we were to follow the info we had on this device, the shipping was expected to come, as the online store selling the tablet had orders available normally, not as preorders. We don’t know how long it’ll take for new order to come through, but we can suppose that Fusion Garage has a decent stock by now.
It seems everyone’s rushing to get their tablets out, till the iPad hits the stores early in April. Will JooJoo sell well enough? It’s got the potential, with that 12.1 inch capacitive touchscreen, Intel Atom CPU, NVIDIA Ion graphics and custom UI, plus a very tempting price.

JooJoo Tablet Shipping Date Moved to March 25th
Mar 1, 2010 JooJoo
The JooJoo tablet might find it hard to compete with the Apple iPad if it keeps on being delayed like this. We’ve just learned that Fusion Garage plans on shipping the device on March 25th, due to a delay caused by “manufacturing issues”. Said issue was related to the touch sensitivity of the 12.1 inch capacitive touchscreen display on board of the tablet.
Apparently, the issue was resolved, but this added another month to the scheduled shipping date of the JooJoo. The PR note of the folks of Fusion Garage says that the Internet tablet went into full production and it was supposed to hit the market at the end of February. However, the manufacturing issue was discovered and the units were taken back for modifications.
This statement is followed by apologies and we sure hope that this is the last time we see a delay in the launch of this tablet.
