Techspecs

So far Fusion Garage only released Facts like size, weight and so on. As far as I know there is nothing known about processor or video card, yet. The Specs can be viewed on the joojoo web page.

The resolution with 1366 by 768 sure seems impressive, this is of course to view “HD” Content. 1366 by 768 is also the resolution specified as “HD Ready” so you can see where that number comes from.

While weighing in at only 2.4 lbs the joojoo is 0.6 lbs lighter that the Macbook Air, which is already amazingly light for a device with a 13″ screen. Of course the joojoo screen is about 1″ less, and also it’s missing the keyboard, but still, less than 3 lbs means this is a really portable piece of hardware. And being capacitive touch (like the iPhone), the screen might be the most impressive piece of technology seen in a long time.

Going down the spec list, you pretty much get what you expect of an Internet device, like webcam, usb, headset and so on. The one thing I’m kind of worried about is the 5h of battery life, because as we know from notebooks, you seldom get what is promised in battery life. Thinking about my Macbook Pro which is also supposed to get 4.5h while dying after about 3h usually this means the joojoo wouldn’t get me through a nice evening on the coach without a cord attached. You see I don’t see the joojoo as a device I would travel with (that often at least) but a device I use while sitting on at home or at a friends house, while watching a movie or just enjoying some vine or beer. Since I don’t want to carry a charger I probably would have my joojoo dying at about 1:00 at night, oh well maybe it will get me to bed earlier than I’m used to. On the other hand maybe the 9s boot will help with the battery, because if the device is back up after 9s maybe I will shut down sometimes. Of course it is still to find out what kind of boot that is. Maybe it’s cold boot which would mean my open pages are gone? Or is it some kind of Suspend to Disk mode, which would be perfect because everything would be there as left, and I really could shutdown now and then without worrying about losing those 10 pages I’ve been looking at.

After all to me the joojoo is the device I maybe have been waiting for, capacitive touch is a killer argument to me, because after using the iPhone for some time, you don’t want to go back to resistive touch ever again. Looking a the videos there a still some kinks to be worked out but they have been putting a device together like this from the ground up, please don’t make it crippled by the OS.

Oh well I will pre-order as soon as it is available for Germany.
