It might have legal issues galore thanks to Chandra Rathakrishnan’s legendary row with Michael Arrington, but the internet tablet formerly known as the CrunchPad has finally entered into production and should begin shipping later this month. To retail for $499 USD, the JooJoo features a 12.1″ multi-touch capacitive display with native resolution of 1366 x 768, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, 4GB SSD, front-facing camera, accelerometer, support for Flash (HD Flash will be all systems go when 10.1 comes out of beta) as well as a bunch of givens like integrated speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack and USB port. Also announced today is Fusion Garage’s intent to open an app web store in which JooJoo owners will be able to grab whatever developers can make using some proprietary “but standards driven” APIs. Rathakrishnan et al are rather confident that their device will be able to take on competitors such as the HP Slate and Apple iPad, even going so far as to say of the later that the JooJoo is bigger, fully supports Flash (the real internet) and will beat its major competitors to the market, but one has to wonder what it’s all for in a day and age where most people are brand-conscious to the point where they’ll often turn away from something far better. We guess you have to start somewhere.

I was reading up on the Joojoo the other night, some of the downsides:

With such a big screen you wanna play your own movies, it's limited to movies/videos on the web. You cant load your own movies, music, or photos

Half the battery life of the iPad (5 hours)

No wireless N

Virtual keyboard is too small for such a big screen

The features I do like about the Joojoo is that it has a Flash and Silverlight support, front facing camera, mic, and USB port. I'm sure down the line they can include support for loading your own content through an external drive but who knows.

Many rumors of the Google tablet have been floating around recently. But, it seems there are some pictures to make the myth a reality. If the stories are true, there may be a Google pad to compete with the recently unveiled Apple iPad. So the questions are, what will the Google Tablet PC do, what operating system will it run, and can it compete with the Apple iPad?

As of right now, the Google Tablet PC will probably run the chrome operating system. if you’ve not been following the news about the Chrome OS, it is basically a web browser that can run programs and upload data to a cloud. This would be perfect for an “on the go” tablet PC. There’s also the possibility of having a multi-task feature, which the iPad does not have.
