Practical fusion Garage(TabCo) Grid10 Tablet - is it better than you would think [video]

We were frankly not very sure what you garage Grid10 expect of the merger, because the company's previous tablet at home was overhead, JooJoo not worth writing. To spend some time with the Android-ish Grid10 device, I think, it is clear that it is better than you would expect, but it will be many challenges.

The Grid10 has a 10, 1-inch screen with a wide format 1366 × 768 resolution, and there is to do a large bezel gestures such as on the BlackBerry Playbook. That's right, even if the GridOS from the kernel that is creates anything other than Google's Android platform. Fusion has a good job done create their own spin.

The homescreen is a set of icons on a grid, you customize with different applications and forms - it is familiar, but not the symbols in a row we have grown accustomed. Although no Android market, you can the Amazon store of app to download Android apps, but there may be some issues with app compatibility across the Board. You will have in the location, your choice of the other Android app stores, as well as fusion garage grid storage.

The aperture are touch sensitive and gestures help, which you can interact with the platform. With two fingers to swipe from the top take you to the homescreen (with a beautiful animation), that can, you between applications to switch, and the impact of links primarily that is back button and the notification screen will bring up swipe of links. The browser is used a WebKit-based Web surfer the wheels from the lower corners, you navigate to. Zooming and scrolling were very responsive and smooth, which is much, much better than on the JooJoo.

The design of the Grid10 is actually quite nice, as it feels like a good together piece of hardware. It is smooth and thin enough, but some of you who love from brushed aluminum feel of tablets may not like the plastic-like support. The only real physical button I saw was with controlled the power button, such as volume and other features on the screen were buttons.

The video and pictures, below, a good idea of the Grid10 and GridOS are what (we played with the phone) gives you: a solid attempt to bring innovation to this space with some new design elements. It's more of a mashup of Android, QNX and WebOS as a new platform, but that doesn't mean that is a bad thing.

I am afraid that is slaughtered to the price ($499 intro), the Grid10 of some of the other Combs tablets of known and the iPad. It will be too difficult, created the eco-system, to complete the Grid10 a success is to get, but I am very glad fusion garage to get a good start with a good product see.

Marin Perez has torture tested mobile phones and smartphones for industry leaders such as CNET and InformationWeek. He reminds himself as 4 g was only a video on PowerPoint presentations and fascinated the amount of data out there is innovation. Marin spent much time with BlackBerry and Android, but he finally broke to see an acquired an iPhone what all the hype about ' s. He has too many tablets.
