VIDEO: Windows 7 Running On JooJoo Tablet
It looks like the people over on the JooJoo forums are working hard to run alternative OSes on their devices.
The JooJoo wasn't exactly a hot device when it launched. It was expensive and all it did was surf the web. Unsurprisingly, not many people were willing to fork out $500 for a device that packs a browser and not much else. It's unfortunate, because the device is actually rather sexy looking, but there just wasn't enough going on to tempt people. But what if it ran Windows 7?
A member of the JooJoo forums, darkdavy, has hacked his JooJoo to run Windows 7. He admits that it's running quite hot at the moment but the touchscreen capabilities are in full working order and the battery is lasting up to four hours on one charge. Darkdavy says everything is working fine save for the accelerometers. However, this is easily solved by using display rotation. Engadget points out that other members of the forums have successfully installed Windows 7 Home and Windows Embedded Compact 7 on the Linux-based tablet.

Cool! Beats the horrible Archos 9
multi-touch looks useless on operations.
Increase dpi to 125%, reduce the right click touch/hold action to the lowest and it'll all be much better. Plus it's probably using a very basic Multi-touch driver.
Either way, it looks fast enough and I'd get one if the hard drive space wasn't so... low
OMG works way better then expected! And it is not freakishly expensive. 350£ with shipping on their website.
