With today’s release of apple’s iPad begins what I’m calling the War on Tablets. Today I want to look at the new Apple iPad and the joojoo, formally known as the crunchpad. I know most people are thinking what the hell is the joojoo and how can it remotely compare to anything the almighty apple corporation puts out. Well I’m not going to bore you with a rant, I’ll let the specs speak for themselfs.

The winner for me is the joojoo, for the camera, usb port and flash and java support. The fact that it is a browser based platform means I wouldn’t need the massive amounts of storage, plus I have an iphone I feel the ipad would just be a little redundant. The fact that it has flah so I can watch my hulu videos etc, something I can’t do on an iPad. Thanks for reading!
