Fusion Garage CEO, Chandra Rathakrishnan, has finally held a Media Conference (Webcast actually) to explain and overturn what TechCrunch Michael Arrington had accused them of doing on the 30th November Blog Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The whole saga begins to become more interesting. Chandra says that before TechCrunch came up with the “vision” of the CrunchPad, Fusion Garage is already developing a browser based OS. Chandra says that Michael Arrington promised to do the marketing and get investors, and eventually acquire Fusion Garage.<\/p>\n

However, Michael was unable to deliver at project end date, February 2009. Chandra goes on to say that TechCrunch is just a blog and the birthday cake is not a contract and he mentioned that Fusion Garage took “all the risk” while Michael “sat back”.<\/p>\n

Going on, Chandra revealed that CrunchPad is just a packaging from Fusion Garage and nothing to do with TechCrunch. He then announced that his new product will be called JooJoo (Magic).<\/p>\n

It will be launched on the 11th December 2009. It is more a web browser based device than a computer. Sounds like Google Chrome OS<\/a> to me. Good luck to Fusion Garage and thanks for the clarification. We might be hearing more on this saga this week.<\/p>\n
