Fusion Garage has announced a much need interface lift for the JooJoo tablet expected to launch March 25th.
According to Engadget, the most noticable change is the revised homescreen, which has gone from line art on a garish solid color background to a nicely rendered icon grid over a high-res customizable wallpaper, but Fusion Garage has also ditched the confusing pinch-to-go-back gesture and replaced it a vertical swipe that brings down a status bar containing the home button, status indicators, browser navigation controls, and a combination address bar / search field. Scroll behavior has been revised as well, with two separate behaviors: a two-finger scroll that works like a scroll wheel, and a single finger "pan" that works like a mouse arrow.
Other improvements include a movable smaller keyboard for one hand operation, a fullscreen multi-touch keyboard that recognizes more than one key at a time, working Flash, and a change to a champagne color for the casing.
