JooJoo linux based tablet/computer.
A company called Fusion Garage wanted to release it as Crunchpad.
then Fusion Garage backed out from the deal.
2. JooJoo fka CrunchPad.
Major case as CrunchPad was renamed as JooJoo.
It was eventually released under the name of Joo Joo.
Originally, Fusion Garage was working with Michael Arrington to release JooJoo as the CrunchPad, but in November 2009 Fusion Garage informed Arrington it would be selling the product alone. Arrington has responded by filing a lawsuit against Fusion Garage.
The short of it is, Fusion Garage booted Arrington out of the process recently because they claim that Arrington failed to deliver any of the promises he was supposed to, like hooking them up with VC funding and helping to market the device “Joo Joo’.
the Pad is being sold as JooJoo
Blame AutoRaja
1 is Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch
2 is Chandra Rathakrishnan of Fusion Garage.
The two companies were partnering & parted ways recently.
Arrington claimed the intellectual property shared between both companies, so the product could not proceed legally. He said his side “will almost certainly be filing multiple lawsuits against Fusion Garage, and possibly Chandra and his shareholders as individuals”
