Who cares? It is the iPad that is the rave. Apple will crush it and make it JuiceJuice

even if its great it wont compete with apple.

It just goes to highlight the vast gulf between the Apple brand and a small unknown company. Apple has shown us time and time again that its not about the idea, its all about execution. Just look at what they did with mp3 players and smart phones.

I'm not holding my breadth for the JooJoo.

  :surprise_level == 0
  => true

Being pedantic, that will always be false. Try this:

  level[:surprise] == 0
  => true

snom370• 16 years ago

True, for certain values of always.

  class Symbol
    def ==(o)
      true
      end
  end

  :surprise_level == 0
  => true

oops. Right you are. I wasn't thinking!

Unless he did

  :surprise_level = level[:surprise]

As I said months ago (cant find the link but it was here on HN).

The JooJoo (then Crunchpad) had to be cool; but more importantly launch quickly before Apple hit the market.

They failed that; so it will be a flop. shrug

(I guess the controversy hasn't helped either - but I think if it were still the Crunchpad it would flop)

If I had to score the entire Michael Arrington, Chandra Rathakrishnan battle over the CrunchPad/JooJoo at this point it would go as follows: 1 point Michael, zero points Chandra.

I think it's still 0 points Michael.
