JooJoo by Fusion Garage

Do we have some real competition for the iPad?  Having been founded in early 2008, Fusion Garage is a new company in the computing world.  Although new to the scene, the folks at Fusion Garage have surely marched in standing tall with their release of the JooJoo (based on the African word “Jou Jou” meaning magical device).  The iPad certainly has bigger backing being a product of Apple however, the JooJoo sports the same compact and smooth design as the iPad and offers some extra features to include support for Flash 10.1.  Unlike the iPad, the JooJoo only has network support via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth – there are currently no 3G models available.

Features:

• 7.8″ x12.8″ x 0.7″, 2.4lbs
• 12.1″ widescreen, fingerprint-resistant display
• 802.11b/g Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 2.1

GUNNAR: i-AMP Lens Technology

In today’s digital world, we spend countless hours in front of our digital displays that may be work related or just for entertainment. However, this can bring much strain on the eyes and cause headaches often or what we call computer vision syndrome.

Gunnar Optiks, based in Carlsbad, CA has done intensive research on the human optical system and its interaction with digital devices to come out with their I-AMP lens technology as a solution. I was a bit skeptical about this at first until I decided to order myself a pair and found that it actually works. It’s like waking up without the caffeine!
