The Notion Ink Adam tablet finally started shipping recently, and there has been quite a bit of talk about some of the bugs in the Adam. Now, the guys over at Notion Ink Fan have posted a video review of the Adam.
You can see most of the bugs and problems with the Adam in the video below, and whilst Notion Ink probably has a fair bit of work to do to iron out the bugs, the tablet certainly does look interesting.
Initial Impressions and Design
The Notion Ink Adam tablet has garnered attention for its unique design and innovative features. The Adam sports a 10.1-inch Pixel Qi display, which is designed to be readable in both bright sunlight and indoor lighting conditions. This dual-mode display is one of the standout features of the Adam, setting it apart from other tablets on the market. The tablet also includes a swivel camera, which can be used for both front-facing and rear-facing photography, adding to its versatility.
However, early adopters have reported several bugs and issues with the device. These range from software glitches to hardware malfunctions. For instance, some users have experienced problems with the touchscreen responsiveness and Wi-Fi connectivity. Despite these issues, the Adam has a lot of potential, especially considering its competitive price point and feature set.
Software and Performance
The Adam runs on a customized version of Android, which Notion Ink has dubbed “Eden.” This custom interface includes a unique multitasking system that allows users to run multiple applications simultaneously in a series of panels. While this feature is innovative, it has also been a source of some of the bugs reported by users. For example, some applications do not scale properly within the panels, leading to a suboptimal user experience.
Performance-wise, the Adam is powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, which should, in theory, provide robust performance for both everyday tasks and more demanding applications. However, the software bugs have somewhat hampered the device’s performance, leading to occasional lags and crashes. Notion Ink has promised to release software updates to address these issues, and early users are hopeful that these updates will significantly improve the tablet’s performance.
