About jang*go
jang*go was born when Steve Jobs, then-CEO of Apple, announced the first iPad; Ms. Wetzel, the inventor and owner, envisioned using the iPad with jang*go in her kitchen, suspended under the kitchen cabinet to use for cooking and other activities. Beyond the consumer market is also the business market, where companies, non-profits and schools can brand their jang*go with a custom color and logo!
