Notion Ink Adam now available for Pre-Order



The Indian start up company Notion Ink which created quite a buzz with its revolutionary tablet Adam is now taking pre-orders for it.

Notion Ink first revealed their product around January 2010 and since then it has attracted a lot of eyeballs with its mighty features. These guys call Adam “just the beginning of that dream set in motion” and also want to challenge the norm (I am sure they will).

Bonus mystery feature ;)

 

They are also teasing with a Bonus Mystery Feature and I am quite excited what that will be. They have posted some images of its UI on their blog. Take a look:

Panel Engine

This is how your home Panel System looks like. Right now this is in the panel selection mode where you can switch the panels. This runs on OpenGL and you can expect extremely smooth animations.

The File Browser, we Sniffer, with quick view for some formats.

The Email

You can catch all the posted pics at their blog: http://notionink.wordpress.com/

Adam has been priced competitively with its basic LCD + WiFi version for just $375 + $50(shipping charges) which is a lot less than basic version of Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab. The price of Pixel Qi LCD +Wifi+3G is $549 and it is already sold out (as of 10/11/2010). They initially had some issues with Pre-Order but now it looks fine. If you want to pre order one then check out http://notionink.in/order.php.

As a whole Adam looks a promising deal but be sure to check their terms and conditions as some guys at a blog are raising doubts over it.
