Samir Makwana, Dec 13, 2010 1501 hrs ISTFour different models available for Adam tablet running Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Notion Ink's Adam tablet, the famous Apple iPad rival that was shown last year, is now available for pre-order from the official website. The comparison of Adam with iPad won't stop even when the tablet is available widely. The official Notion Ink website - http://www.notionink.com/order.php hosts four different Adam tablet variants ranging from $375.33 (Rs. 16,970 approx.) to $550 (Rs. 24,860 approx). The pre-orders are open to all.
Notion Ink's ambitious Adam tablet has been praised heavily for its amazing hardware features as well as the Android Operating System that it runs. In terms of hardware, Adam tablet houses dual-core Cortex A9 ARM architecture based NVIDIA Tegra 250 System on Chip with ULP GPU. Packing a 1GB DDR2 RAM with 1GB Single Level Cell memory, it promises faster write speeds at lower power consumption. Adam will also offer 8GB or higher Flash storage on board.
Featuring a 10.1-inch WSVGA (1024x600) LCD display, Adam will also come with an option of models with Pixel Qi displays with transmissive, transflective and reflective mode. For protection against dust and scratches, the Adam tablet will come with scratch and fingerprint resistant coating. The screen will also come with anti-glare coating that will prevent straining your eyes if you plan to use the tablet for prolonged hours.
Other hardware features of Adam include 3-Axis Accelerometer, Ambient Light Sensor, GPS, Digital Compass, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, WLAN 802.11 b/g/n, 3.2 megapixel autofocus swiveling camera, built-in microphone, stereo loudspeakers and 3.5mm audio port. For connections, the Adam offers two USB 2.0 ports, min USB port, HDMI and Mini SD card slot.
In terms of software, Adam will sport Eden interface that would comprise best of both worlds - Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Rohan Shravan, Notion Ink CEO, noted on the official company blog that Adam runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and comes with Honeycomb support. Adam promises better OpenGL graphics support, good multi-touch keyboard and better copy-paste features.
Shravan clarified that though Adam will run Gingerbread, it doesn't have a Near-field Communication chip. However, he did tout a mystery feature that will unlock something new in the tablet every fortnight.
Following at the four Adam tablet models available for pre-order:
If you just want to use one tablet casually not exhaustively, then the Blacklit LCD with Wi-Fi option looks pretty promising as compared to other Indian offerings like OlivePad or Samsung Galaxy Tab.
