Well it’s the end of February and the JooJoo tablet that I’ve been drooling over still hasn’t shipped. Yesterday Fusion Garage sent out a press release letting everyone know that shipping will be delayed to March 25th because of a manufacturing issue with the screen. This now means that the JooJoo and the iPad will be launching in the same week. (could be interesting) Because of the delay Fusion Garage has promised a free accessory to pre-order customers because of their wait. Our guess is it will be the $30 stand pictured above. Anyway I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these.
Full press release after the break.
TweetFUSION GARAGE TO SHIP JOOJOO INTERNET TABLET ON MARCH 25
SINGAPORE — February 26, 2010 — Earlier this month, Fusion Garage’s JooJoo Internet tablet went into full production with an anticipated on-time delivery to consumers at the end of February. Last week, the company became aware of a manufacturing issue involving JooJoo’s industry-first 12.1 inch capacitive touch screen which Fusion Garage was quickly able to diagnose and rectify. The company now forecasts the JooJoo will be sent to consumers on March 25.
The manufacturing issue centers on fine tuning the touch sensitivity of the capacitive screen. Fusion Garage will be providing all pre-order customers with a free JooJoo accessory to compensate for the delay in the delivery of their JooJoo.
Fusion Garage’s recent agreement with CSL, its manufacturing partner, has eliminated nearly all of the manufacturing costs associated with JooJoo. The company has no other barriers in the way of product delivery in the new timeframe.
The company apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the delay.
