Building this on a proprietary platform, instead of a customized version of Android, is what is going to kill JooJoo, not the iPad.
Trying to support a proprietary OS and convince developers to build for an unproven platform (is this even possible with JooJoo?) put the nails in their coffin before they even started.
Hopefully they have the budget to live out that mistake and relaunch because their hardware looks slick, and they have some interesting UI / OS ideas that I think could catch on.
- frou_dh 17y agoIt's simply a web browser device, not a platform waiting for developers.
- aresant 17y agoI don't know why anybody would part with $500 for a JooJoo in that case.
- frou_dh 17y agoOf course! iPad has shut the door on the remotest chance that JooJoo wouldn't bomb hard.
- mbreese 17y agoThis is a huge mistaken on their part. At least if they made it more "hackable" then they'd have a shot. We all saw how the original iPhone worked out without apps. It was nice, but with apps it became so much more. The joojoo isn't competing with the ipad. It's competing with android tablets. And android Is a pretty robust platform.
