90 sounds like the score you get on a primary school quiz. Well, it apparently also is the number of pre-orders Fusion Garage had for their flagship tablet, the Joo Joo.
What seems to be a development of the legal wrangle between Fusion Garage and TechCrunch has just exposed the extremely low numbers of pre-orders for the device. When we first talked about pre-sales with Chandra of Fusion Garage, I imagined numbers in the 5 or 6 digit range. Now I know better.

To make matters worse, “approximately 15 of these [90] pre-orders already have been charged back or refunded”. That leaves about 75 people out there on the entire planet Earth who’s interested in acquiring the Joo Joo.
75.
On the other hand, it seemed like the iPad from Apple got 120000 (6 digits!) pre-orders on its first day.
