Introducing Eden – VIII (Adam says Happy New Year! :)

Hello All,

This is second in the series of what we posted yesterday. Most of the video (I think this is the best of what we have posted so far) is self-explanatory and answers few of your questions like 3rd party application installation, portrait mode, launching applications, pinch-to-zoom on the browser, auto re-alignment in the browser when you zoom, etc. Let’s take a look:

I will try to post one last video before I leave for CES, but if I don’t, this would be the last one (this might be the last post as well before CES, as I fly out on 3rd). We have one more coming as the official release.

Wishing everyone a Very Happy New Year 2011. Let’s make it special!

With Warm Regards

Introducing Eden – VII The Leaves

Hello All,

Let’s take a look at the video first and then read, we all have waited impatiently today!

This video is the direct HDMI out from Adam, captured on our computers and then posted here. Next time I will go more into the settings and see why the colors too saturated, and few frames skipped while minimizing the Leaves! I will again comment here that these are not production quality videos and I believe we are doing very good for 1 day per video. I really want to keep this blog little informal.

We have placed all our efforts into our production video which we intend to release in CES and it IS really beautiful!

There are a few announcements and releases coming in CES like information on our partners, the plan and Pre-Order 2 status.

Coming back to this blog I have tried to answer questions I was able to compile in the last few posts and answer them. Will keep an eye on the comments on this one as well, so keep them coming!

With Warm Regards

The Video Today!

Will be here in a while! Did a HDMI out from Adam, to desktop, resulting files are heavy and the processing is taking long! But it’s worth waiting!

(Ok while we wait, it speaks about how we handle Dual Cores, is there any desktop, wallpapers, the Leaves + more. Processor still says 20minutes to go, then Youtube will take time to load.

Regards

The Post Coming tomorrow!

Hello All,

No, the video is not in this post, but I will keep the promise of 1 video in every 2 days (one tomorrow and next day after tomorrow).

This is an introductory post of what is coming tomorrow and I need 2 consecutive days to cover the next topic. Tomorrow we will show you the full concepts behind the Panels, the home-screen elements, how multi-cores on Tegra will work, how processes are handled, the memory assignments, how the notifications are handled in Eden, installation of any 3rd party application (we will download if from freewarelovers.com and install it) and a lot more! So expect a long video tomorrow and on the day following.

This time we will shoot via HDMI screen capture, so expect tremendous quality!

With Warm Regards

The Momentum

Hello All,

This week is exciting for Notion Ink as it is a week before CES 2010. We released information on Adam on 18th December 2010 and since then we knew people will be expecting a lot. Things have changed a lot, but like in love, feelings haven’t. Your comments are more than inspiration for all of our developers and creates a solid feedback system (and help them revise the next update).

In the last one year one important thing which we have learnt is that you should never lose your momentum. In troubling times, the road becomes steeper and if you increase your efforts you can keep up the same speed as it was on flat road. And the best thing is that with the new increased momentum, when the road in indeed flat, your speed increases dramatically.

There is something I can share more on the hardware front. 3G devices will work on 2G networks as well (haven’t tested in all the countries and with all the carriers, but we have tested in India, China and US with some carriers, theoretically the 3G module supports 2G networks, i.e. EDGE.) SMS will also works and if there is any developer reading this, you can think of brilliant ideas of how with a simple sms you can make Adam do things remotely.

Today we show you a video (with sound ) shot by one of our EAP Partners, Mireo, and they showcase a Mapping application. We were really excited to see it working on Adam and took permission from them for posting it here. See it for yourself:

(Seems something killed the sound after 1 min, will try to update full one later (there is voice notification) )

There were a lot of people in the EAP 2 selection list. Notion Ink will soon start communicating with good news with EAP 2 members.

With Warm Regards
