In the ongoing sadness that is the legal battle between TechCrunch and Fusion Garage over the JooJoo tablet, Fusion Garage has moved to dismiss Michael Arrington's lawsuit entirely.

After publishing Fusion Garage's response to Arrington's lawsuit, a reader noticed that Fusion Garage is violating PayPal's terms with their Joojoo pre-sales. The Joojoos are supposed to be delivered in 8 to 10 weeks, which is prohibited by PayPal:

Fusion Garage—manufacturers of the JooJoo, the web tablet formerly known as the CrunchPad—have responded to Arrington's lawsuit and posts against them. Not surprising, they are saying that his claims are entirely without merit:

The Joojoo web tablet (AKA crunchpad) is a pretty neat idea! I kind of just wish Google was making it. I mean, if there's any company in the world suited to making one, it's Google.
