Fusion Garage Makes Grid 10 Tablet More Appealing, Cuts the Price by $200

Posted by on September 13, 2011 No comments

Remember the underwhelming presentation of the Grid 10 tablet from Fusion Garage, while everyone was waiting for a Nokia slate? Well, the maker of the tablet is back with fresh info, including a cut down price of the device. Turns out that this supposed iPad rival will be priced $200 less than originally announced.

It’s strange for a product that hasn’t even launched to get a price reduction, but hey, anything that makes our wallets sigh in relief is OK. The 16GB model was supposed to be priced at $499 in the WiFi flavor and now it has reached an incredible $299. Meanwhile, the WiFi + 3G unit will cost $399 instead of the $599 announced initially.

Pre-orders are available in the US of course and if you’re really into that Grid OS thing, you can easily order a unit right now. Let’s see what other hot offers we have laying around: there’s the HP TouchPad with that incredible $99 price tag (if it still exists), the Amazon Kindle Tablet coming with a $250 price and… the iPad 2, that’s bound for a price reduction on Black Friday. Which one will you get?


TabCo Gets Rid of Bad JuJu With New Product: JooJoo 2 aka Grid 10

Posted by on August 15, 2011 No comments


Some of you may remember the whole scandal surrounding the JooJoo tablet, that at some point was called the CrunchPad, as its maker worked with TechCrunch and Michael Arrington. Well, now the device got a successor, the famous TabCo being revealed to be in fact this newcomer, also called the Grid 10.

After months of huge teasers, such as the planes writing on the sky or the skyscraper with lights spelling the date August 15 2011, it’s time to learn what TabCo really is. Unfortunately, it’s not Nokia, or HP, or Microsoft as some people speculated, instead it’s Fusion Garage and their latest project, the Grid 10. There’s also a smartphone in the making, called Grid 4.

What sets this apart from other tablets is the resolution, an incredible 1366 x 768 pixels of fun. The price of the Grid 10 is also pretty good, $499 and an extra $100, if you want 3G on the device. You’ll find the tablet on Amazon today and as far as the smartphone goes, the Grid 4 will come with a 4 inch display, 480 x 800 pixel resolution and 16GB of internal memory. The price will get $399.

Back to the tablet, the new Fusion Garage slate will pack dual core Tegra 2 processor and most likely 16 or 32 GB of storage. The platform on board is Grid OS, a pretty unique ecosystem, that seems to be fond of rows of flowing icons, that for a while reminded me of MeeGo in teasers.
