My thoughts exactly. And then the allcaps as well.

I'd like to think that the guys at FG..live under constant denial...or have been living under a rock for the past 2-3 years.

At the back of my mind, I'm still hoping for a MeeGo based tablet to be released under the TabCo label by a team lead by Ian Quincy.

But I do like some of the Asus products...

Yes, of course it includes this hellish spawn of the JooJoo, its the biggest piece of mediocrity ever invented.

Too bad it's Android in disguise. If it would have been fully implemented Linux (M..G.)... Am i the only one which finds the UI interesting? Even with the capped typeface.

It's quite likely that you are. I find the UI to be kinda.. clutter-messy, distracting and generally annoying. :P Who knows, though.. that's just a first impression.

The grid (with its parallax scrolling and plain iconography) reminds me of RTS games. It may be beneficial to keep you psychologically balanced between resource-gathering mode and being spendy out there :D
