i updated the http://crunchpad.com page with a few extra reasons why I wouldn't buy:

#1. The only way to pre-order is with PayPal, and since PayPal Buyer Protection only lasts 45 days, and the JooJoo says "Pre-orders will ship in 8 to 10 weeks." that means if they "forget" to ship, you are out of luck.

#2: Every single image seems to be a rendering, not a single actual photo.

#3: They only sell to United States, yet they only use kilograms for weights, talk about amateur hour.



Yeah I found that strange about the kg. too. But as an FYI:

joojoo : 1.1kg, 2.43lb.

Kindle DX: 0.54kg, 1.2lb.

MacBook Air: 1.36kg, 3.0lb.
