Notion Ink has released an Alpha build of Android 4.0.3 for the Notion Ink Adam tablet, which comes two weeks after the company released the first pre-alpha version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich for the Adam tablet.
The new Android 4.0.3 Alpha release brings a number of bug fixes and features to the Adam tablet, plus a range of features are now enabled on the device which include Bluetooth, audio, GPS and more.
As yet the camera doesn’t work on the Notion Ink Adam tablet, plus there is also a bug affecting sleep on the device, and HDMI video playback is working, although there is no sound available with the video.
New Features and Enhancements
The Android 4.0.3 Alpha build introduces several new features and enhancements that significantly improve the user experience on the Notion Ink Adam tablet. One of the most notable additions is the support for Bluetooth, which allows users to connect a variety of peripherals such as wireless keyboards, mice, and headphones. This can greatly enhance productivity and entertainment options on the tablet.
Audio functionality has also been enabled, allowing users to enjoy music, videos, and other multimedia content with sound. The inclusion of GPS functionality means that the Adam tablet can now be used for navigation and location-based services, making it a more versatile device for users on the go.
Current Limitations and Known Issues
Despite the numerous improvements, there are still some limitations and known issues with the current Alpha build. The camera functionality is still not operational, which may be a significant drawback for users who rely on their tablet for photography or video conferencing. Additionally, there is a bug that affects the sleep mode of the device, which could impact battery life and overall usability.
HDMI video playback is another area that requires attention. While the video playback itself is functional, there is currently no sound available when using HDMI output. This can be a major inconvenience for users who wish to connect their tablet to a larger screen for presentations or media consumption.
