Jorgen pointed us to a CNET story where they’ve nabbed a journalist’s demo of the new JooJoo Web Slate for appraisal. They seem to like its lines and stylish profile. And functionality gets passing grades as well, but at $499, Fusion Garage CEO Chandra Rathakrishnans has his work cut out for him.
With one look at the JooJoo (formerly TechCrunch’s Crunchpad) you can see they’re stepping in with a device that offers the larger profile of the rumored Apple Tablet. (They even mark the iPhone as its touch-screen inspiration.) It arrives with some controversy too. The Guardian’s Technology Blog gives some background on the litigation surrounding the device.
It sure looks interesting, and the wide screen format says “newspaper/magazine” to me more than “eBooks.” Once you get over the price tag, you can watch videos between chapters yah?
