CrunchPad Denial of Preliminary Injunction
- organicgrant 16y agoDespite a few product mockups, I always assumed the 'CrunchPad' was just Epic Vaporware/Linkbait, which Calacanis and Arrington are undisputed masters of.
- JacobAldridge 16y agoHaving read the decision, I disagree with the assessment that "Arrington gets smacked around". His injunction, to sequester ALL revenue, was dismissed as being overly broad, but in dismissing much of Fusion Garage's 'Motion to Dismiss' the judge certainly talked up TechCrunch's claims for some share of profits. Now, in reviewing a Motion to Dismiss the judge is required to make any assumptions for the benefit of the defendent (TechCrunch, in this case, since they are defending against FG's motion), so that may be turned around in the future, but it certainly didn't read as a smack.

"There are just so many things we wish Fusion Garage did differently with the JooJoo. Even putting aside the fact that Apple's $499 iPad brings more to the table than just web browsing, the JooJoo is less portable, has a worse (if larger) screen, is unintuitive to use, and ships with half-baked software."
