JooJoo Internet tablet now shipping

Look what just came in via my e-mail.

SINGAPORE, March 25, 2010 – Fusion Garage announced that its category-creating joojoo Internet tablet has begun shipping from the factory today.  joojoo devices are now on their way  to U.S. customers who pre-ordered them.  Devices should be received by Monday, March 29.

New joojoo orders can be placed at https://thejoojoo.com/store at a cost of $499 USD.  With its easy to use user interface, joojoo allows users to tap into Internet applications, news, music, high definition video, social media and Web services. The device boasts the largest capacitive touch screen of any device on the market, measuring 12.1 inches in length. joojoo is Flash 10.1 and Java compliant and comes equipped with a built-in, rechargeable lithium-polymer battery.

So the JooJoo has finally arrived.  It sounds like Fusion Garage is shipping the Internet tablets via air courier (Read: FedEx, DHL, UPS etc) direct from the factory in Taiwan, which is sure to cost a pretty penny.  Meeting the end-March deadline is crucial however, as the delivery of the product has been pushed back once from its original end-February date.

What’s more, the Apple iPad will start arriving in the hands of consumers from next Saturday onwards, leaving just one week for the JooJoo to maximize on its publicity.  So just how good will the JooJoo be?

Hopefully, I’ll be able to get my hands on a review unit soon.  Will write more about it then!
