Of course the news of the Crunchpad being cancelled was going to shock readers and leave some without hope of ever seeing a decent tablet device available for purchase (sorry PMPs but you’re just not up to scratch).
Well prepare to be shocked all over again. Fusion Garage – the folks who were working on the original Crunchpad tablet – have issued news that a non-Crunchpad branded Crunchpad will become available soon.
Rebranded as the Fusion Garage Joo Joo Tablet (bit of a mouthful compared to Crunchpad) this should include almost everything the Crunchpad was promised to utilise. But what they left out could lead this tablet to it’s own death before it even takes off – a decent battery life, a reasonable £250-300 price tag, 3G amidst others.
Whether it is greeted with acclaim or dissent, you’ll have to wait till the 11th of December.
