Mystery firm behind viral campaign launches Grid 10 tablet.
So there is no TabCo. It's a front for Fusion Garage, which earned some notoriety as the maker of the underwhelming JooJoo device.
That started out as a joint venture with the industry blog TechCrunch (it was initially called the CrunchPad), but the two parties fell out bitterly and the blog head honcho Michael Arrington wrote a scathing post about it all. Not the first time he's done that.
The new Grid 10 is based on the Android kernel but has a new interface on top. The firm also revealed a Grid 4 phone that will sync such that content can be paused on one device and resumed on another.
There's a video here showing how the new OS works.
Grid 10 runs on NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor with a 10.1-inch 1366 x 768 display. Amazon’s Appstore is loaded, but there's also a Grid Shop that offers software using the company’s own Grid-specific APIs.
