It seems that the iPad popularity has some telling effect as even the pre-orders for Fusion Garage’s JooJoo Tablet have exceeded expectations. This may be one of the reasons why Fusion Garage has decided to sell the Tablet PC as early as the end of this month. JooJoo Tablet PC may be a far cry from the iPad but, it does impress us on certain counts-Flash support, multitasking and a webcam/microphone combo.
The dark side is that the JooJoo Tablet PC does not offer any connectivity mode other than WiFi and 3G hopefuls may have to wait till eternity.
Tablet PCs are in. More so, following the arrival of the Apple iPad! Though the iPad is promising to be on the shopping list of all you enthusiasts out there, there are other technology innovators too who are waiting in the wings with their new tablets.

Even as we tend to find out if there has been any development of the eReader that Asustek Computer had been raving about, we get to know that the device might be pushed back to bring in a new tablet PC.

Sony has lined up a new device which could serve as your personal Internet viewer.
