Fusion Garage has made its 12in Atom-based tablet, the JooJoo [1], available to buyers outside the US.
UK residents can now order the large iPad alternative for £319 plus £15 postage and packing - a grand total of £334, which is roughly what the most basic 9in iPad is expected to retail for.

Apple, however, is believed to have sold more than a million iPads whereas Fusion Garage has managed to sell somewhere in excess of 64 units, if an email sent out to pre-order customers and which named them all is to be taken at face value. The email was made public [2] by blog Uneasy Silence.
That was earlier this month, and FG may have sold a few more since then.
The JooJoo is the tablet originally expected to be marketed as the CruchPad and the subject of a very public spat [3] between Fusion Garage and CrunchPad orginator TechCrunch blogger Michael Arrington. Both sides are currently arguing it out via m'learned friends.
