I took the time to really listen to what Miller has to say, but some of what he's doing is a bit clumsy. I don't know if that's him or the actual pad.
Hardware-wise, the JooJoo is "quite speedy thanks to its 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM and 4GB solid state drive". SSD is quite nice, but even better is the reported 7 second start up. Rock and roll! But...2.5 hour battery life under normal usage with web surfing? Damn...
As for the interface, Miller makes this look quite clumsy. Again, without putting my hands on it, it would seem unclear if this is Miller making a first attempt, or if the interface is dramatically different (or wonky) when compared to Apple's iTouch/iPhone interface. Personally, give it a few weeks and then make a judgement there, especially after the learning curve.
As for the software, it's obvious that there are some issues, mainly little stuff. Sure it does Flash, but even then, it will attempt to "cheat" the process. Check the video; it'll explain how Youtube videos will utilize the file's original format. It's little stuff here folks. Little stuff that ends up annoying you to no end and simply pissing you off.
In the end, I was left with a feeling of "shoulda woulda coulda". Hopefully, this is something that can be addressed through some software upgrades or maybe even a substitute OS. As you can tell from earlier posts, I was rooting for this one.
Note, the key word is "was".
