We'll seldom argue with a new Notion Ink Adam update, and having promised prototype news they've delivered with some tooling samples hot off the production line in China. There's also a new video of one of the prototypes in action, together with the confirmation that Adam will have 1GB of DDRII 667MHz memory. Meanwhile they've been testing their speaker system - which benefits from the unusual curved side-profile of the Adam slate, putting the speakers on either end of the battery bulge - and it's apparently good enough to fill a conference room. We're hoping to see more of Eden, the Notion Ink multitasking system, soon too. [youtube WMAdbPq7Jsc] [gallery]

Notion Ink reinvent multitasking with dual-mode Eden

Notion Ink has been promising us an interesting reintepretation of multitasking on their Adam Android slate, and now they've given a few more details on how that will work. Eden is the company's dual-mode interface: it has a Full mode, where apps occupy the whole screen as normal, and a Light mode, where the slate automatically controls how much memory and CPU is available to each app, what processes are called and how often refreshes take place, and more. In Light mode, the display is split into three panels which can be flipped around and swapped with an "infinite" number of others waiting in sleep mode behind. These panels can be a regular-resolution Android Market app or one of Notion Ink's own apps, and individual titles can spawn multiple panels. Like in iOS, various key components (features, data-base, networking components, UI elements) are kept running in Light mode so that apps can continue to communicate and offer pared down functionality.

Notion Ink and LongBox Digital have just announced a partnership that will see the Adam tablet - and, indeed, any devices running the company's Genesis interface released over the next two years - preloaded with a comic app for browsing, downloading and viewing digital comics. The app has a distinctive, comic-style UI of its own, as you can see in the video below. Meanwhile there will be a generic Android version of the LongBox Digital app, together with iOS versions for iPhone and iPad, and we've guessing you'll be able to transfer comics to the company's existing Mac/PC apps too.

One of the most talked about tablets out there, even if it isn't released, is Notion Ink's Adam. It's a full-featured tablet that, on more than one occasion, has been said to be the true iPad killer. One aspect of that is the implementation of Android underneath the hood. And, even if there have been plenty of set-backs for the company, from both investors and manufacturing standpoints, the company still plans on releasing the product some time this year. With that in mind, they've even formulated a Software Developer Kit (SDK).
