Bad Joo Joo: Fusion Garage Goes Off the Grid PR Team to Quit

Published

The saga of Fusion Garage looks like it may have come to an unfortunate end. According to a report on The Verge, founder Chandra Rathakrishnan has been uncommunicative for a period of time, customers can’t get any responses from a dead website, and the US PR firm representing Fusion Garage is pulling the plug on its relationship tomorrow.

It has been a saga mixed with stumbles and bumbles. Fusion Garage had been the manufacturer of the highly touted CrunchPad dreamed up by Michael Arrington. That relationship parted ways in a very ugly manner. Fusion Garage went forward with the device, rechristinend the Joo Joo.

Fusion Garage even offered Joo Joo owners a free Grid 10, but those users and those who ordered the Grid 10 probably won’t get any satisfaction. The Grid 10 was scheduled for shipment on October 1.

Sad.
