Notion Ink Adam Tablet Update

I’m very happy to hear that the recent news of the Notion Ink Adam Android tablet being delayed (again) until November was not, in fact true. While we don’t have an actual release date, it’s implied that we may see it come to market within a couple months.

I’m very excited at the idea of having the same Android OS I enjoy on my phone on a tablet device. This is mainly because I think it will replace a laptop for couch computer use. I like having a different ergonomic experience at home, after using a traditional PC for so many hours at work. Actually, I already use the Droid for a lot of things, but the small screen is not best suited for a lot of reading.

I think reading is going to be something this tablet will suit best. Check out this video comparison of the Pixel Qi display (that the Notion Ink Adam will use) vs an iPad.

One of the main reasons I’m so psyched about a tablet like this vs an iPad is the fact that it is a computer by definition. Yes, one can run Android, Ubuntu Linux or Chrome OS on it, but I’m thinking more fundamental. For ages, we have had these machines we call computers. One could write some code and run their own programs on them, or procure said programs from a third party…… The fact that Apple wants to have so many ridiculous restrictions turns me off in a huge way. I prefer the freedom to use my hardware as I see fit.
