JooJoo Is Going To Fail
Ignoring all the TechCrunch fluff, this thing is going to crash and burn. Why? No local storage means it’s basically a $500 screen with a battery and a buggy interface. A castrated netbook (which in themselves are pretty impotent.)
The only hope Fusion Garage has is to turn that – it’s an empty touch interface – into a strength and apply it to solve a niche problem with custom software (think warehouse management, or libraries, etc). One possible route is as a web conference interface. (Would require a better built in webcam, however, though whiteboarding is a real option again.)
Some of those will require dropping the price quite a bit though.
