Fusion Garage Slams TechCrunch's JooJoo Lawsuit

,----[ Quote ]
| Fusion Garage, the maker of the upcoming JooJoo 
| tablet, said in a Thursday statement that 
| TechCrunch's lawsuit against the company is 
| "without merit" and pledged to "vigorously 
| defend" itself.
| 
| TechCrunch filed suit against Fusion Garage on 
| Dec. 11 for false advertising, breach of 
| fiduciary duty, misappropriation of business 
| deals, fraud and deceit, and unlawful business 
| practices. Editor Michael Arrington said that 
| TechCrunch and Fusion Garage were working 
| jointly on the JooJoo, formerly known as the 
| CrunchPad, but that Fusion Garage pulled out of 
| the deal at the last minute and proceeded on 
| its own.

JooJoo (supposed-to-be-CrunchPad) Linux-based Tablet PC Unleashed

,----[ Quote ]
| So why did they call it JooJoo instead of
| CrunchPad? Recent disagreements between
| Arrington and the Fusion Garage team ended
| the CrunchPad project. Chandra
| Rathakrishnan, Fusion Garage CEO, later
| announced that the CrunchPad would be
| released by the company as the JooJoo to
| avoid lawsuits.

|
| The JooJoo is basically just a web-browsing
| machine. It runs on a custom-made Linux
| operating system with a sole purpose of
| running a browser that's based on Webkit.
| The home screen is your window to different
| web sites/applications. The "internet is
| the application" so you can't save files
| like images and documents to your physical
| storage device.
