JooJoo: The "other" tablet arrives

,----[ Quote ]
| The arrival of JooJoo seemed kind of fishy 
| because 1) it was April Foolâs Day, 2) there 
| was so much buzz on the blogosphere about this 
| weekendâs release of the iPad that it just had 
| to be a joke and 3) Engadget said it was so 
| overwhelmed with iPad coverage that it 
| wouldnât have its own review out until next 
| week - and readers should not expect a side-
| by-side comparison to the iPad right away.

The iPad's Linux competition

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux developers should be able to build 
| applications for this platform without too 
| much trouble, since the OpenTablet's "Flash 
| applications may invoke class modules that are 
| written in C/C++" and its "application hosting 
| framework controls the loading/unloading of 
| applications." I can also see the OpenTablet 
| doing well in businesses since "The system is 
| fully managed with a device management system 
| client that allows the server to monitor the 
| device, provision the device, and send 
| notifications (e.g., firmware updates or 
| domain-specific messages such as peak pricing 
| notifications for energy)." That means that, 
| unlike the iPad, it should be easy to manage 
| OpenTablet in a corporate network.

WePad is an Android tablet from Germany

,----[ Quote ]
| Another product is joining the tablet wars.
| Itâs WePad, which comes from the German
| company Neofonie. Specs wise, weâre talking
| about the device thatâs more powerful than
| the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPad, but as you
| know, itâs not the specs that win the
| consumersâ hearts, minds and ultimately
| wallets.
