Notion Ink Adam tablet specs revealed; sports new design [Video hands-on]
February 15, 2010 at 8:36 am
Hard details of Notion Ink’s 10.1-inch Adam tablet have been few and far between. That has now changed with the company unveiling the specifications over on it its official site. We can now confirm that there will indeed be two SKUs, one including the Pixel-Qi display and one without. It will also come with a HDMI out, a rotating 3.2MP webcam, a 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) capacitive multitouch display and a 3-cell battery that should be good for 16 hours in full colour mode.
The design has also changed since our last look of the device at CES 2010 earlier in the year. The guys over at Technoholik managed to spend some time with the Adam and we’ve included their hands-on video after the jump. Slashgear also has had a pre-MWC play around and shot a video demonstrating Adobe Flash and its rotating webcam. Pricing is still a mystery, but hopefully more details will emerge at MWC that officially starts today.

wow, was just looking up news on google (I regularly look up “pixel qi netbook OR tablet”). Glad I looked here as well. Just wished the Adam ran ION instead of Tegra…
Don’t get me wrong, the ARM Cortex is great, but I can’t run Windows on it… I’m a regular linux user, but sometimes I have to have Windows (for work), and I’d really rather not shutdown my main linux box.
