[Merged] JooJoo 12" tablet

The JooJoo has lackluster hardware and poorly written software. When it was first announced, I was excited by the UI. But now it's released, the device does not live up to expectations. The HP Slate and iPad easily beats the JooJoo out of the water. It's got Flash but the UI is so clunky. It looks and feels like a Microsoft product.
 
Just further proves that Apple knows how to engineer a complete user experience. Even the HP Slate isn't going to match the user experience of the iPad. This will become apparent as more and more tablets are released. Just like the smartphone market, the vast majority could care less about tech specs. They just want it to work.

And 2.5 hours battery??? That's pathetic. iPad slays this device hands down. I started using my iPad at 7AM, used it all day at work, and only plugged it in at 9:30pm. And that was not because the battery was dead. It still had 35%.
 
Come on iPad haters !

Go check out your favorite engadget site, the joojoo thing.. is a joke, yes it does have well above spec over the iPad, but it really a funny joke:

1) on a usb which doesn't support any storage device;
2) a light ambient sensor which hide under your thumb
3) with flash 10, but "slide show" youtube video playback on 720
4) 2.5 hrs battery..
5) no blank web browsing page is allowed.
6) a clumsy capacitive 12-inch display that never knows what you want to do with OS

Yes, many more tablet is coming..most of them equip with high clock speed cpu, plenty of memory, flash 10.1 support..

but what do they offer eventually?

iPad all the best :apple:
 
The only thing that will "kill" the iPad/iPhone/<insert any other Apple product here> is Apple.

As for the JooJoo, it looked promising initially but the end result looks to be fairly lackluster. At least the iPad will bring forth lots of interesting tablet concepts and designs from the other manufacturers. It'll be nice to have choices. :D
 
The very best part of the epic fail that is the joojoo is that it's a definitive, undeniable example we can always point to that:

specs <> user experience, and, user experience >>>>> specs.
 
This should be the "official tounge n cheek post of the day". What's next? A press release from Chery Motors on why BMWs are terrible cars?

I was looking forward to the joojoo - but after seeing the initial reviews it looks like a somewhat of a POS.

It could improve. A lot of the problems are just software. They rushed it a bit I reckon. But I'm thinking if it's just supposed to be just a net exerience tabletanyway then maybe the OS should be Chrome instead.

I was also wondering how the wide-screen format will do in the long run with iPad KIRFs. Good for movies in portrait I suppose, but now that I have my iPad, books and pdfs seem much more natural in the 4:3 ratio. I think Apple put a lot of decision making into going ith the 4:3.

And larger screens as well, if Apple ever decided to release a larger iPad. Anything over 12" would start edging out of the 'handheld mobile' category and back into the laptop category where you can't just hold it in one hand.
 
While he started out with the usual line that the "JooJoo delivers the entire Internet -- including Flash-based websites," he soon took things to a whole new level, saying that "we don't see the need for an app store," because "an app store sells stripped down versions of actual websites" -- stripped down websites like Brushes, KORG iElectribe, and Real Racing HD, we suppose.
