14 DAY TRIAL // Notion Ink are getting closer and closer to bringing to the market their first tablet PC running under Google's Android operating system, the Notion Ink Adam, and a new announcement was made on the company's blog, pointing at December 6th as a “big day for Android.”
Of course, no specific details on what would be unveiled that day were offered, but the company mentions 2.3 (which is the next Android version, dubbed Gingerbread).
“6th December is another big day for Android and you will find out how fast Notion Ink can work. (Eden is extremely compatible with 2.3),” the company notes on its blog.
With previous rumors suggesting that the Notion Ink Adam would actually go on pre-order on December 9th, the announcement seems to point at the imminent release of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, one of the most anticipated versions of Google platform, that's for sure.
In all fairness, the aforementioned blog post mentions the pre-order status for Adam as well, but no specific date was attached to that announcement.
“The pre-booking will be available only for the ones who have posted a comment on this blog (for a limited period of time), and only after this interval the world will have the access. In short, family first,” the company states.
At the same time, they provided us with additional details on the development of the tablet PC as well, including the fact that it would be released with multi-touch enabled browser, or that the Mail’d application on the device works in sync with one's calendar, Facebook application and Contacts Manager.
The browser on Adam enjoys a boost of memory, the company announced, adding that this is one of the appealing features that the tablet-optimized flavor of Android sports.
All in all, it appears that the applications on Notion Ink Adam are given a special treatment, mainly due to the fact that they are expected to make the device more appealing than it might be on the outside. However, other details are not overlooked either.
Here's what the company also notes: - There was a wrong Wi-Fi infringement case on Notion Ink which we rectified. (we were using right components as otherwise opposed to what this company suspected)
- Adam is in Europe as of now. I have never mentioned this in particular, but Europe is an extremely crucial market for us, our sales and marketing team is in Europe this week.
- There were 4 areas where we felt Android was infringing few patents and stayed away from using those, and implemented our own methods. Seems like we were correct and our portfolio just expanded a little because of this.
