For all Notion Ink Adam interested members - the 2nd round of Pre-orders is open
I just put in my email on the 15th Feb and got the Ordering invite email on the 17th and put in my order on the 18th (A Pixel Qi model). Now the anxious wait. I am really stoked.

And from Rohan's weekly blogs, its evident that they have already started their work on Honeycomb and it should (and will) be available sometime for the Adam too.

To bad Samsung let its Galaxy Tab buyers down with no Honeycomb update to ever come.

Edit : Now whenever I look at the topic title I think its just a stupid line. This is not in any way supposed to be any iPad killer. Its just a very good Android tablet I believe - that's it. Whoever went and out in that silly title ...?

Wow, a nice stand for the Adam Tablet from Notion Ink.

Of course this is not specifically for the Adam - its a generic stand that would work nice with any large tablet (plenty coming to the market soon).

Does nayone know if any tablets out there have a radio builkt in (FM, not Internet radio) ?

I heard somewhere that the Adam's secret surprise was the FM radio chip in it. Dont know if this is true...

For those interested - now that the Xoom is out - here is a side-by-side video compare between the Adam and the Xoom..

While the Xoom of course stands out due to its superior screen and the wider viewing angles than the Adam, as well as the nice Honeycomb OS on it (Adam is supposed to get Honeycomb sometime later down the line), the Adam seems to function as well beside the Xoom.

If only the Xoom wasnt so freakin expensive, it would have been my choice at this point maybe.

And here is a Notion Ink Adam's big fan - Greg's first impressions of the Xoom compared to his LCD Notion Ink Adam.

Of course being that he is a fan of NI, his impressions are a bit biased - but again its objective enough to glean some important viewpoints from it on both the devices.

The Adam never made any move toward the iPad - it made a move towards Adam with Android and Eden. :)

And as far as we know, it is in the process to make a move toward Honeycomb and maybe then to Adam 2.

Edit : Aha - are you trying to be snide about the Thread title ? I didn't get your snideness maybe if that was the case, sorry for the wasted snideness on me at least :)

If yes, that has got nothing to do with the Adam's actual use and features. Its like comparing the Meego Tablet to the iPad as a killer :D

And me as a person, I think that is equally stupid as this thread title itself.
But cant help it, someone put it there and so it stays.

A video of the hacked EdenX rom with Android Market support built in...
gives the best of the standard Android with Launcher PRO home screens and the Notion Ink Eden interface.

The screen seems much faster scrolling between the screens with this ROM.

A mention of Notion ink in a major tech publication - the issue's feature for March is a section, titled Year of the Tablet, which compares twelve tablets - one of which is the Notion Ink Adam.

I was a little worried about how the Tegra 2 on the Adam performs with respect to games - specifically the recent games made for Tegra 2....


seems like they run smooth as butter on the Adam as well....
