Sounds like it. I'll wait to see if anyone actually does get one
tomorrow.

On a pre-production model from a company with no track record. I
certainly wouldn't be buying based on the single review, regardless of
reviewing source.

Here's a quote that should be of concern :

Our two major concerns with Joojoo right now are ones Rathakrishnan
promises will be fixed before launch. First one is home screen
notifications, which we were unable to see -- having a screen of
shortcuts is nice and all, but if Apple has taught us anything, the
least we can want is some form of numerical indication that our favorite
social networking site has new messages for us. We're told it can be
implemented by developers using the API. The other one is a biggie, and
it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is
pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and
we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.


A touch device that isn't very good at touch isn't very good period!
Reviews of production machines are needed or someone may be very
disappointed.

Gotta love you troll feeders for being the reason they won't go away.

I've got an HP Touchsmart 300 and really like it for what I bought it
for and that is display sheet music for my organ playing. I use
MusicReader which is an program designed with touch in mind. Works
quite well.

So the JooJoo costs the same as the 16GB iPad yet it comes with 4GB of
memory, only 802.11g (versus 802.11n), No commercial 3rd party
software support,

Besides that, it's mired in legal disputes and may not even see the
light of day....
