If it's not third party, you're getting raped. But keep in mind, it's a quality rape, so it may sometimes be worth it. ;-)

Off the top of my head, Droid car and home docks are about $30, and Nuvi mounts are also $30. For a device more then double the size $30 for an official dock looks kinda good in comparison... Sure, you can get third party docks cheaper, but they just don't have the same appeal.]]>Dec 12th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/
This doesn't look too bad compared to other companies. I mean, Apple is selling iPod SOCKS for $29

It's possible, considering the HP Mini 311 gets 5.5 hours of battery life. But it might depend on the size of the battery as well. And I doubt you'll get that 5 hrs running 1080p video on loop.]]>Dec 12th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Did I miss the part where this is running Windows XP?
if it was built around an ARM CPU like Tegra, SnapDragon, or Zii, it's definately possible do to 1080P, and 5 hrs should be a breeze]]>Dec 12th 2009 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/
That is 90's web design right there.

Okay, I get the rotating colours thing. Kind of a nice touch, actually, but if they want it to be subtle (which I hope is their intent), they have to use subtle colours. They can't blast primary colours at the user's face and expect him to appreciate it while he squints to read the black text which is obscured within.

It's like having 30% grey on black for your whole front page.]]>Dec 12th 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/

I'm on the sidelines now for buying this.

If it was running win XP that is. There are no linux drivers for the GMA500. ]]>Dec 12th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/There are no open source drivers for it. There is a closed source one.]]>Dec 12th 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/
there is a very crappy closed source driver for one or two linux kernels (i believe ubuntu 10.4 and mandriva 2010) that is it. GMA500 isn't even supported on intels own moblin. It seems very, very unlikely Joojoo gets a GMA500 driver for their 'unix like operating system' when Redhat, Suse and Intel don't. If the tablet runs on X86 hardware, i would say it will have an Nvidia Ion. But why would they run on X86? ARM gets you more battery for less money.]]>Dec 12th 2009 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/
I doubt they had the time and energy to port Flash over to ARM. The thing might as well be running Android at that point, and then it would be a YATD (yet another tablet device).

And to be honest, the JooJoo isn't going to be that different from products coming out in 2010.]]>Dec 13th 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/However, if it really contains a full Windows compatible CPU and GPU maybe even one of the more powerful Atom CPUs and a nVidia ION GPU, well, then the price and size is fine.
But as long as we don't know the specs I wouldn't want to pay $500 for maybe some piece of junk with a difficult to use ARM processor, a not responsive touchscreen, short 5h battery life, a poor display and such a fat and huge casing.]]>Dec 12th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/

Let's stop all the negative thinking.
After all this thing just MIGHT turn out to work decently , could'nt it?
I for one hope that it does.
I could use a good functional, fast and effective multimedia tablet for an affordable price and although I must admidt that probably this isn't gonna be the one, at least they are trying and they deserve some measure of respect for that.
Besides there is just that little ,tiny hope that it might actually turn out to be worth buying, maybe.]]>Dec 13th 2009 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/Dec 12th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/joojoo-tablet-gets-its-first-batch-of-press-shots-30-dock-acce/It probably supports 1080p playback when outputting to an external video source.
