Yeah, thats not that surprising

Sad, since the JooJoo seems to be a better device. It has a better screen, a camera, and FLASH SUPPORT. How the hell can you make an internet device and not have flash support?

I, uh, don't get the image. Butter on toast?

Easy, make a device that came before your eventual slate. Make sure this device gets tons of press, and subsequent purchases. Based on the popularity of this first device, start making direct statements regarding what it can and cannot do on the internet (eg Flash). Web developers will change their sites accordingly.

Hrm, that strikes me as an interesting ploy... I wonder if it has been done before.

Specs wise, the JooJoo (stupid name, just like the iPad, and Windows Phone 7 Series) it is a better device. But honestly, that is not always the point.

I suspect the JooJoo is toast.

Even a massive company has issues releasing a cutting edge product, there's no way in hell the JooJoo makes it.

Yea, see, toast is awesome, and although I understand the colloquialism of something 'being toast', which is to said that it is done for, or perhaps metaphorically burnt to a crisp, much like bad toast, but... toast is awesome.

Toast is good plain, toast is better with stuff on it. You take something cool, bread, and add fire (which is righteous) and you get something awesome, namely toast. There are not that many things that are that way... except maybe smores, smores are awesome too.

It's not surprising they got very few preorders. Michael Arrington at TechCrunch, the guy who had the idea in the first place, was specifically telling people not to order them since the company that was making the device is extremely shady and unstable.

I didn't pre-order one just because of all the uncertainty and the way they were't telling anyone anything. It seems like a slick device though, and I may order one based on how the first batch of reviews turn out.
