Notion Ink Adam torn down by FCC

Like a bunch of you, we were excited at the prospect of the Adam tablet from Notion Ink. The thing looks really cool and has nice features. We were bummed that it kept getting delayed along the way to market though. Those delays finally disappeared not too long ago and the tablet landed in the hands of buyers all over the place.

Notion Ink’s Adam rooted & Android Market access added

Notion Ink's Adam tablet has been successfully rooted, and with it the Android Market added to the slate's software. The handiwork of NotionInkHacks, the root not only opens up Adam to modification but makes a few extra tweaks, for instance adding the Gingerbread keyboard as an option, and restoring the YouTube app. There's also a home switcher and Live Wallpaper support, along with a slight increase to the frame buffer rate which might just make the screen a little smoother. On the flipside, it's expected that using the new firmware will break the official Notion Ink OTA updates, but we're guessing that most users will be content with using offline updates if it means they get access to the Android Market.

Today's an amazing day. There are two epic battles that we did not expect to see happen, especially since all four contestants aren't even released yet. It's a hypothetical playing field, and you're the judge. First check out XPERIA Play vs Sony NGP (PSP 2) ULTIMATE SMACKDOWN!, then grab another bucket of popcorn and strap up your wrestling hat for the next war: Samsung Galaxy S 2 vs Galaxy Tab 2! Then a battle in the real world, in the customer service department - Notion Ink Customer Service Stalls and creates quite the scene when asked questions about screen quality, a broken camera, and the application of their screen protector - we're waiting for your redemption, Notion Ink!

Notion Ink Customer Service Purposely Stalling Past 7 Day Return Period?

By Chris Burns
on 27 Jan, 2011

It appears in more than one case today that Notion Ink's General Terms of Return for the Adam Android tablet are coming into the spotlight in a rather unpleasant set of instances. As you know, hardware/software brand Notion Ink recently sent out their first shipment of Android tablets, that being the several different versions of what's called the "Adam." Since shipment, there've been several reports of difficulty in use, mis-information coming to light regarding the glossiness of the screen, blotchiness in the colors on the screen, and now a hardware mis-alignment in the swivel camera at the top of the device. A fellow by the name of Rambler reports today that after reporting to Notion Ink that his device suffered from the last two items from this list of defects, he was treated with what seemed to be a dismissive attitude and a confusing set of instructions, ultimately leading up to his 7 day return period becoming expired.

Notion Ink Eden UI ported to Viewsonic GTablet [Video]

Notion Ink's Eden UI has been ported to the Viewsonic GTablet, after the start-up released fix files containing the slate's ROM for those who had bricked their Adam. xda-developers wasted no time in bringing the three-pane interface over to the GTablet, and while it's not 100-percent stable, it's still arguably better than the UI Viewsonic opted for. Interestingly the Notion Ink team seems aware of the hacking efforts, and - at least going by the latest blog post - don't appear too upset. "XDA community, we love you!" CEO Rohan Shravan claims.

Notion Ink’s Adam tablet gets official unbox treatment

By Chris Davies
on 21 Jan, 2011

Pre-order customers all over the world are waiting on their Adam tablets from Notion Ink, and the company is doing a little teasing with an official unboxing of the Android slate. You certainly get more than just Adam shoved inside a cardboard box; the packaging itself turns into a stand for using Adam on the desktop, such as when you've got a keyboard and mouse hooked up. There's also news that a software update will be ready and waiting for new owners to install, though we're guessing it's an Eden-related package rather than anything more significant with Android.
