It looks like Notion Ink has a follow-up to their Adam tablet in the works, and according to Notion Ink’s CEO Rohan Shravan, who recently spoke to Light Reading India, the Adam 2 tablet will be unveiled in December of 2011.
Shravan hasn’t released any specifications as yet on the Notion Ink Adam 2 Tablet, but as Slashgear points out, we can expect it to feature an NVIDIA processor like the first version. It may even come with NVIDIA’s new Kal-El processor and may also feature a display from Pixel QI.
Anticipated Features and Improvements
The original Adam tablet garnered attention for its innovative features, including a unique Pixel QI display that allowed for better readability in bright sunlight and an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor that provided robust performance. Given this, the Adam 2 is expected to build on these strengths. The potential inclusion of NVIDIA’s Kal-El processor, which is touted to be significantly more powerful than its predecessor, could make the Adam 2 a formidable competitor in the tablet market. The Kal-El processor, also known as Tegra 3, is expected to offer quad-core performance, which would significantly enhance multitasking capabilities and overall speed.
Additionally, the Pixel QI display technology is likely to be a key feature again. This display technology is known for its dual-mode capability, allowing users to switch between a full-color LCD mode and a low-power, reflective e-paper mode. This could make the Adam 2 an excellent choice for both media consumption and reading in various lighting conditions.
Market Expectations and Challenges
It will be interesting to see what the Adam 2 tablet is like when it is unveiled at the end of the year, and whether Notion Ink can have success with the second version of the Adam tablet. The original Adam tablet faced several challenges, including delays in shipping and mixed reviews regarding its software and build quality. However, the company has had time to learn from these experiences and potentially address these issues in the Adam 2.
One of the critical factors for the success of the Adam 2 will be its software. The original Adam ran a customized version of Android, which received mixed reviews. For the Adam 2, Notion Ink might opt for a more refined and stable version of Android, possibly with fewer customizations to ensure better performance and user experience. Additionally, timely software updates and robust customer support will be crucial in building consumer trust and satisfaction.
Another aspect to consider is the competitive landscape of the tablet market. By December 2011, several major players like Apple, Samsung, and ASUS will have released their latest models, each with its own set of advanced features. Notion Ink will need to offer something unique and compelling to stand out in this crowded market. The combination of a powerful processor, innovative display technology, and competitive pricing could be the key to capturing consumer interest.
