I’ve been following the recent news about CrunchPad, and for all of our disappointment, it’s been discontinued due to a “misunderstanding” between the guys from TechCrunch and Fusion Garage, who were developing this together.
Now, today it’s been announced that the CrunchPad has been reborn (as Joo Joo), and will indeed be released by the guys over at Fusion Garage. Apparently the whole deal was because Fusion Garage decided to ditch Techcrunch, and release it alone.
I strongly disagree with this kind of behaviour, and really hope the guys over TechCrunch find a way to stop it.
It’s due to go on sale on the 11th of December, with a price tag of $499. You can read more about it on Engadget’s website.
Been following this story for awhile now and there has to be more that isn’t being spoken or Fusion Garage was being serious that Michael A. wasn’t bringing anything to the table (his tech contacts, etc). I’m to the point where I don’t care and this is just overhyped as Tiger Wood drama is.
Very true, it’s over hyped and only makes them richer. I also think there’s something on that, but from his blog post, it kinda makes you feel like they’ve been screwed by Fusion Garage.
Fusion Garage didn’t really post any statement about it, so I tend to believe TechCrunch until proven against.
