This is Fusion Garage's second shot at the iPad, and it is clearly trying to learn from its mistakes. Unlike its first tablet, the JooJoo, which used an Intel (INTC) chip, the Grid 10 uses an Nvidia processor that's based on an ARM design, which has become the standard for smartphones and tablets.
The new device is thinner and lighter than the JooJoo -- and lacks its noisy fan. And instead of the JooJoo's proprietary Linux software, the Grid 10 runs a version of Android and supports Android apps.
But Fusion Garage seems to be trying to learn not only from its own mistakes but those of other would-be Apple (AAPL) rivals. At $300, its entry-level Grid 10 is $200 cheaper than the iPad and many of the iPad knockoffs running Android.
And it's not just another Android clone. Instead of running Honeycomb, the version of Android that Google (GOOG) customized for tablets, the Grid 10 has its own unique interface.
Details is as under:
