FIRST LOOK: I had a chance to play with a pre-production model of Fusion Garage's JooJoo Web tablet, which has been covered in controversy over the last week or so. Enough with the drama--let's see how the thing works.
First, the specs. Fusion Garage CEO Chandrasekar Rathakrishnan was loathe to talk specs, insisting that to do so would draw comparisons to netbooks and the PC market (which is spec-obsessed) rather than an appliance like an iPhone or a Kindle, where processor speed is less of a concern compared to the quality of the overall Web browsing experience.
That said: it has a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a 1366 by 768 pixel resolution, 1GB of memory, a 4GB SSD (which is mostly used to store the OS and cache data, the user can't directly save files), and the processor isreported to be a 1.6GHz Atom with some kind of graphics chip assisting with HD video decoding. It also has one USB 2.0 port, Bluetooth support, a headphone and mic ports, built-in speakers, and a webcam with a mic. Internet connectivity comes from Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi only--no 3G Internet here. Interestingly enough, the JooJoo preview model we used had an expansion slot, but they're going to block it up before it hits the market
