More on the images you saw!

Posted in Uncategorized by Rohan Shravan on November 4, 2010

Dear All

Little updates:

  • Logo: We were waiting for the Winners to send back the signed agreements back and we are processing them on our front now. Result on next week-end special.
  • EAP registrations have been closed. In total 6800+ entries and around 70 have already been selected. We need to talk to each one of them so its little tiring process. But on 10th, all the selected ones will be informed (this is a festive week in India, so did some prior arrangements that this goes on time). We received entries from a lot of different kinds of groups, like Police Departments, Nuclear Reactor firms, Kindergartens, Space Organizations, Universities, Doctors and a lot more people working in extremely exciting fields (nuclear science!).
  • FCC: We are on time for this and you could hold devices in your hands on or before Christmas (and as hinted earlier, if we miss Christmas, then CES or New Year). Pre-booking will start in early December (if the case id prior). Already received FCC for the chargers!
  • Countries: Through online booking you can order in most of the countries, thanks to our logistics partners!
  • Strength: Notion Ink’s head counts increased by 15% in last month.
  • Android Version: Its 2.2. But expect upgrades as soon as its out there! :)
  • Blog Hits: Total number of hits till October = 0.56 X Total number of hits in October! Thanks everyone! :)

 

Now the post!

Last week I posted few images which you all have seen, and few people in the comments have rightly pointed out that there was more in those images. For examples look at the image on right:

On the right side of this image you see a small vertical section. This is where  the your songs are minimized, when you are not viewing the music panel. This is the thick state mode (which collapses to a smaller edge) where you are interacting with this edge (like forwarding, changing song, pausing, reading lyrics, etc)

One can customize this notification area to any application, and you can have them on left as well, as you can see in the left image with the twitter bird coming out!

Remember this is just the wire-frame and not the final implementation. (And same goes for the browser tabs implementation!)

And on the leaving note: Happy Diwali to everyone!

With Warm Regards

Rohan Shravan

    Are we expecting FCC around Dec 20s? I read earlier it would be 2nd week of November. Is it pushed back any idea?

    Rohan, can you please update instead of we guessing in distress?

    Will there be way to install generic Android applications ?

    Genesis license prohibits any WWW browser, be it Mozilla or Chrome or Opera, just like Aple did for iPhone year ago. I’d not like you take this route and not giving users safety hatch for non-Genesis apps.

      From what we have heard via emails and postings it will have access to the Android Market. Google is supposed to allow Gingerbread based tablets access. Since, Gingerbread is rumored to be pushed out to the Nexus one on Nov 11, 2010 then surely the code based will be finalized and Rohan can announce a slew of info like ADAM will be released running GingerBread, the crowed goes wild and the UI will be revealed.

      The Rohan announcements are just a theory, the Nexus One OTA Ginerbread push is on the front page of TechCrunch [dot] com

    Great news…hopefully singapore is one of the countries you mentioned that we can order adam online…..

    The letter N (in negative, which is less common than positive, but still…)

    Incidentally, “OmniGroup” is the most generic company name conceivable.

  7. Xen said, on November 7, 2010 at 00:09

    NI should merge with OmniGroup. They already share something in common with the logo :-)

    Sorry for the repost!! Browser was just hanging and I had to add/move a line here and there to avoid “same repost” message.

    No weekend update, yet ?

    It makes me immensely proud to see that people in US are excited over a product made by an Indian company. India’s image in the US has always been about call centers and provider of cheap workforce even though that might not always be the case, Hopefully the launch of Adam and its success can change some of the cliches. Wishing you success in all sort of ways and hoping you provide us a pre-order link soon to help us help you :D

  13. Atul Tiwari said, on November 6, 2010 at 21:35

    my gut feeling says Rohan will post something around midnight (India time).

  14. Kay said, on November 6, 2010 at 21:34

    Well, I hate to break this to you guys but I dont think the first 3 weeks shipping adams will be sold out on the first two minutes pre ordering in december:D

  15. harvey said, on November 6, 2010 at 20:42

    OK, now it’s 8 PM in Baglador and no new week end special :-(

    So, I will order now a Galaxy Tab, because I want to hold a good Anddoid device in my hands. I know, the Galaxy Tab is not so goog as ADAM, but it’s on the market. And I want see my own developed apps on a tablet, so I need a device.

    I’m vey sorry, but I was waiting the hole year for ADAM and I was looking everyday several times in this blog. Rohan, you have promissed some month ago to release the ADAM before November. Now it’s November and we don’t know a real date for the release of ADAM.

    I think, that a lot of people a doing the same as I and that’s not good NI.

    I will look on this blog in the futurem, but I very sad, that the release of the ADAM is so far away.

    Best wishes
    Harvey

      the city’s name is Bengaluru (in native language) or formerly Bangalore (English name)

  16. Kay said, on November 6, 2010 at 20:02

    Maybe thats just me, but isnt it Saturday? I thought weekend would be till Sunday Evening?
    So let the guy kick ass for a while:)

    BTW is the Chart of usage/batterylife coming up?

    • James said, on November 6, 2010 at 20:44

      I very much doubt Rohan has got much to say at this point. He like the rest of us are waiting for other things to happen before launch can be announced…. i wouldnt expect much from now on

    Hi Guys,

    I am wondering if anything has changed in relations to upgrading adam to Gingerbread 3.0? Can you gaurentee that adam can be upgraded to Gingerbread 3.0? I cant wait to get my hands on this device.

    Chris

  24. Greg said, on November 6, 2010 at 18:08

    I’m up early checking the blog for the weekend update before heading out to the desert with my boys for a couple hours of recreational shooting this morning. I should have thought ahead and gotten a hold of some of the other manufacturer’s tablets to take with us for target practice… ;-)

    Though I thought I read in the original email something about Rohan waiting until Monday 11/8 to announce the logo contest winner. If so, I assume he may be waiting until then for the weekend special post too.

    • Greg said, on November 6, 2010 at 18:11

      Weird… My last post says it is 18:08 but it is only 06:38. Usually it is correct when I post but it is using India’s time. Let’s see what time it says when I post this one…

  25. Harvey said, on November 6, 2010 at 17:17

    mhm, now it’s 6 PM Banglador time and 1 PM German time and no weekend special

    What’s happend to Rohan ????????????????
