Fusion Garage has been playing a game of hide-and-seek with its customers. It hasn't fulfilled orders for its Grid10 tablet, the company's Twitter page and Web site hasn't been updated in weeks and its executives have maintained a radio silence about what's going on with the company. Is Fusion Garage shutting down?

Given Fusion Garage's track history, its silence on its social media platforms has sparked concerns about the company's ability to fulfill its orders to customers. The company's high-profile launch of its JooJoo tablet, formerly called CrunchPad was beset by the company's falling-out with former partner Michael Arrington and TechCrunch. When the tablet was released it was widely panned by tech reviewers and had horrible sales. Arrington and TechCrunch filed a lawsuit against Fusion Garage for fraud, misappropriation of business ideas and other claims of intellectual property theft.

Undeterred by the fiasco of the JooJoo tablet, Fusion Garage decided to launch another tablet called the Grid10 tablet. Originally it was set to launch on Sept. 15 but Fusion Garage delayed the tablet due to "new criteria in Adobe Flash Player 10.3 approval process". Adding to the confusion was Fusion Garage's attempt to drum up interest in the tablet. The company created a fake company called TabCo, marketed a new TabCo product and then revealed a new 10-inch tablet running a modified version of Google's Android OS called Grid OS. It was supposed to be a product launch for Fusion Garage that would be free of the stigma surrounding the JooJoo tablet. Unfortunately it came across as a desperate attempt to cover up the company's shortcomings.

It's starting to look like the Grid10 tablet would be the last tablet Fusion Garage will produce. Aside from its failure to deliver the Grid10 other signs emerged this weekend about the company's demise. Michael Arrington noted in his site, Fusion Garage was fired by its lawyers. Law firm Quinn Emmanuel had formally requested last week that it withdraw as the defense in the lawsuit against AOL. According to the request Fusion Garage hadn't been paying for services for several months and there had been a lack of communication that made representation difficult.

Even its PR firm has reportedly given up on Fusion Garage. Separate reports from Engadget and the Verge gave an official statement from PR firm, McGrath Power about its working relationship with Fusion Garage.

"Unfortunately, none of our efforts have resulted in any communication from the company to the customers. Given all of this, we don't have any other choice but to cease working with FG effective tomorrow," reads a statement by McGrath Power.
