With the first of Apple’s version of the tablet computer slated to reach stores tomorrow, the computing world is focused brightly on this often overlooked style of computer. While the iPad has grabbed all of the press and media attention in recent months, it is far from the only offering if you are looking for this type of machine (we’ll be featuring more tablet PC’s in coming weeks). One model that has generated some buzz among those familiar with tablet and mini PC’s is the JooJoo.

The device’s main function is to provide quick internet access and its creators Fusion Garage (who say the name is based on the African word joujou meaning “magical”) describe the device as having an “innovative browser-based operating system. ” They go on to say,” JooJoo enables users to quickly and easily tap into Internet applications, news, music, high definition video, social media and web services. JooJoo has revolutionary hardware, including the largest capacitive touch screen of any device on the market – 12.1 inches –providing full screen content viewing. Its ultra-portable, ultra-thin design offers the best Internet experience anywhere – on the couch or on the go, standing or sitting. JooJoo’s gesture-based user interface allows easy transitions between Websites and turns pages in a digital publication via the movement of a finger. A full-size touch keyboard appears when users need it, and disappears when viewing content or paging through digital content.”
