Second, how is this different from the Chrome OS? Its a cloud device. The're just trying to stay 1/2 a step ahead of Google.
There are valid complaints but I don't see either of these as particularly negative.]]>Mar 25th 2010 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/I have 87 apps for my iPhone, the vast majority complex games. I've paid a grand total of $4.96 for them, thanks almost exclusively to simply waiting until good apps go free on special, and to the large community of people who simply release really cool stuff completely free (some ad supported).

For every flash dev who makes an app to use free on the web, there's one doing the exact same thing on the iPhone OS platform, and there those apps can use high res 3D, accelerometer controls, and multitouch.

Plus, with announcements today and all last week, it looks like if you want video, you're choice is H.264. Flash can be added to the Pad if they really want it, h.264 encoding can not be added to your cheap-ass chipsets with GMA video. ]]>Mar 25th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/
Let's see, do I want a device with 140,000 third party apps and 10 hours of battery life, or the one with zero apps and 5 hours?

Not a hard decision.]]>Mar 25th 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/
Oh and in terms of battery: there are tablets that are going to outperform the device with 140.000 apps. ARM based of course, I'm not talking about atom-based devices that go 'up to' 12 hours specified by the manufacturer.]]>Mar 25th 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/
Good for you... anyway I'm not interested in both joo joo or ipad (in general underpowered devices). Enjoy :)]]>Mar 25th 2010 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/
After reading all these comments I'm wondering if I'm the only person tired of hearing about "apps" whenever someone tries to compare an Iphone/Ipad to some new device?

Honestly, who cares if apple has 150,000 apps [149,000 of which do nothing but mimic a pair of dice when you shake it, or something similarly useless]? If you had a real OS (see "linux", any common distro) on it you wouldn't have to wait for someone else to approve functionality. If I bought a[n] [actual] computer only to discover the applications were limited to what the manufacturer deemed "acceptable" or "appropriate" I believe my reaction would be similar to when I discovered that the Iphone actually has ads IN the applications; "What the FUCK?"

When I need an app for my PC OR my Touch Pro 2, all I do is go on google and search for a free one made by people (see xda-developers) less concerned about making money off of ignorant fanboys (see Iphone developers) and more concerned with getting stuff done.

That said, unless theres a way for me to boot ubuntu or win 7 on this then I can't see this being much better then an Ipad.]]>Mar 25th 2010 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/
Rather than complain about the restrictions in the iPad, why don't you simply buy the JooJoo and live happily ever after. Or better still, wait for the HP tablet, which no real person has seen or touched.

I guess that's fair if you have very limited needs. Personally if I'm going to drop $500 on a tablet I'd like it do do more than just browse and play media. On my phone I do things like GPS nav, media center remote, VNC, Skype, Google Earth, photo and video editing, speech dictation and translation, WiFi routing, Shazam, FTP and 28 Mpolys per second gaming. I look forward to doing those things on a tablet, too.]]>Mar 26th 2010 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/
Ffor the iPhone or iPad you don't either since there are already 150,000 ready to go. The difference is they're actually designed for the form factor and things like multitouch. Poking at tiny dropdown menus and dragging windows around isn't my idea of a good mobile UX.]]>Mar 26th 2010 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/

I'm waiting on the Courier too, but it's not competition to these devices. It's an entirely different market.]]>Mar 25th 2010 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/Mar 25th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/joojoo-tablet-now-shipping-should-greet-us-consumers-on-march-2/
"and the courier round the corner..."

That's likely to be quite a long corner and, certainly, I wouldn't bother waiting for it. The likelihood that we see the Courier this calendar year is pretty low. The HP Slate, however, ought to be out soon before it disappears into tech obscurity shortly afterwards.]]>Mar 25th 2010 1:16PM
