Except for one little problem, you can't buy one. So you're comparing Apples (pun intended) with oranges. Apple has staked its considerable reputation on being able to deliver, in terms of time-in-the-channel that means that right now somewhere in China there are a lot of these devices being packed and shipped. Probably by the containerload. As for 'thejoojoo.com', they're taking orders but I'd be a little skeptical about their ability to actually deliver on time or at all. They'll have to show more than one joojoo in the hands of ordinary people before I'll believe in their ability to ship product. Time will tell, if by mid March the joojoos are arriving in quantity I'll eat some crow, and I may even order one. edit: and you can bet your nelly that the second they ship Apple will be at them for violating their multi-touch patents.

Both are scheduled to begin shipping in about 8 weeks. One I expect to make it to the church on time, the other to leave me standing there like a sucker. Can you guess which is which?

Many people keep complaining about the price of Joojoo at $500. Hoever, if you breakdown the components pricing, 12.1" LCD with Capacitive Touch Panel, Intel Z530 CPU. Motherboard.. You will realise that the pricing is actually quite reasonable. For those who is suspecting they will not ship any quantity at all, I think after so much publicities and hype created, I strongly believe that they will start shipping soon.
