Fusion Garage introduces its droid lineup - meet Grid 4 and Grid 10

The good thing about Android is that everyone can have a go at it - Fusion Garage are the latest to throw their hat into the ring with a phone, the Grid 4, and a tablet, Grid 10. Both run the so-called Grid OS, which is a deeply customized version of Android.
If you haven't heard of Fusion Garage before, you are not alone. The tech company is known for the not really successful JooJoo tablet, but their products never really took off.

The smartphone, the Fusion Garage Grid 4, packs a 4" WVGA TFT screen in a slender 122.4 x 63.9 x 9.6 mm body that weighs 137g. It's powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon, which Fusion Garage oddly calls a dual-core (which it isn't, it's the same CPU as in, say, the HTC Desire S). The smartphone also has 512MB RAM and 16GB of built-in storage




Other specs on the Grid 4 include quad-band GSM, tri-band 3G (with HSDPA), 5MP camera with LED flash 720p video recording, VGA secondary camera, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, microSD card slot and 1300mAh battery. The Grid 4 uses microSIMs for a change.
As for Grid OS, Fusion Garage claim they've completely redefined the way you use a touch screen with a "completely gesture-based and button-free" UI, they say. They also talk about some wheel menu with spokes - First ELSE, anyone?. The Heartbeat feature anticipates your needs and gives you at-a-glance info of what's going on around you.
