Only 64 JooJoos Purchased?

joojoo1 If this turns out to be accurate, I have to say that I feel pretty bad for Fusion Garage — the company behind the Joojoo [product page]. The numbers are so low for Joojoo pre-orders that it’s almost unbelievable, but then again, I can’t say that I saw any advertising for the Joojoo, pre- or post-launch, maybe they thought it’d sell itself? I think anyone could have told them that they weren’t going to do much damage if they were releasing on the same month as the iPad, and at the same price (and not even half of the battery life).

If an email sent from Fusion Garage to Joojoo customers is any proof, it would appear as though there have only been 64 devices sold. According to Uneasy Silence, Fusion Garage send an email out presumably to all Joojoo customers, but they mistakenly used the Cc field rather than the Bcc field, revealing the list of email addresses that the message was sent to — there were only 64 of them.

Additionally, a story on Gizmodo purports that court documents state that “about 90 inch Joojoos were pre-ordered, though 15 of which had been canceled at the time.

Pretty sad for Fusion Garage, but I suppose that amidst the controversy of its creation and trying to go up against the iPad, the Joojoo just couldn’t cut it. Looks doubtful that Fusion Garage will be stepping up into full Joojoo production after previously stating that they had the necessary deals in place to afford full-scale production.

    Feel sorry for them? Hell no. This is delicious payback for them royally screwing over Techcrunch. Hope they end up in debtor’s prison.

    Include Windows 7 at the same price and I’d buy one. Or knock ~$75 off and sell it without an OS.
