I think another thing which crossed my mind is the JooJoo pad when the iPad was released. Since this was made my Fusion Garage, which is a Singapore based company, I thought I would say a few things about it.
- The JooJoo pad has a lawsuit on it via TechCrunch. That’s kind of scary for consumers no?
- The JooJoo pad is only available in the US. No idea why.
- It costs 499USD. The iPad costs 499USD for the cheapest model. With no option for 3G.
- The UI looks like they took alot of notes from Apple.
- It has 4GB of flash memory. Ouch.
Okay, well, all seems bad. I’m half thinking of a few things on this. Had you started off on a clean slate designing the JooJoo pad, it would probably have been to reanalyze the 200USD possible price point and stay there. No need for a 12″ screen, screens usually cost the most, to push down the price point. And don’t use flash as an excuse, the percentage of people not buying an iPhone because it doesn’t support flash is probably a 0.00000000000000000000002458% (You get the idea) or something. I still think the whole general idea of the JooJoo was a good idea, competition is always good, but the price point (and the lawsuit) isn’t too bright as of the moment.
