Notion Ink readying $1m+ developer competition for Adam tablet

08 February 2010 by Chris Davies



Remember the Notion Ink Adam?  Ahead of their Mobile World Congress 2010 appearance next week, we caught up with the Notion Ink team to find out about Flash support, digital content, the latest prototype news and why developers should seriously consider creating software for the Adam.

One of the stand-out devices from CES 2010 last month, the Android-based Tegra 2 tablet beat Apple’s iPad to the slate hype and promises 1080p HD video and of course the power-sipping Pixel Qi display.  Now, Notion Ink are planning an App Competition, with over $1m in the prize fund, to push development of Adam-compatible software.  Meanwhile they’ve also confirmed that the tablet will run Flash; in fact they’ll be demonstrating that in Barcelona next week.

As for the iPad, well, Notion Ink reckon they’ve got a significant battery advantage over the Apple tablet; in fact they reckon – even without the Pixel Qi panel – they could last 2-3x as long as the iPad can on a single charge.  You can read all the details over at SlashGear.

    Basically, it works as both a standard backlit display and as a transflective panel. The latter is the really clever part - it reflects back ambient light through the LCD panel, so that in effect it's using that ambient light as a natural backlight. The upside is that you can use a Pixel Qi display outside, in direct sunlight, and not only will it be highly visible (and, unlike e-ink, show full color and video) but actually get brighter the more light falls on it.
