Eden and Our Effort
Hello,
Its something which we planned for CES, cos its was worth it, but I can’t stand against all of you. A saying goes “every one is right, it’s just the shoes which are different”.
Eden has consumed our sleep, sweat and blood. And I think I am not old enough to know of any other project where I saw a team clocking 18+ hours for continuous 60+ days. I lower my head in respect, adoration and admiration of all those who are working at Notion Ink. (To Notion Inkers: It has been tough on you my pals, but things are only going to get better. You know what we want, and we will get it!)
From now on we will be sharing one video per day per application or principle which comes with Adam. It has been a long wait for all of you, and we really thank all those who are with us.
The video which you are going to see has most of the application loaded in the memory, we believe this is how a heavy user is going to use the Adam. HD video playbacks and High definition games have not been shown since that is what you have already seen on all the Tegra Capable devices. We have not done even a bit video editing to make it look smoother or saturated and it comes straight from the camera’s data card (taking permission here to call adding subtitles as “not editing video”). Do not expect production quality here, because advertising or promotional videos are coming later. Now less of words and more of content.
With Warm Regards
Rohan Shravan
Love the Adam
But I have 2 questions right now:
1. What MicroSD Card are compatible with the Adam (Size?, sdHC? etc.)
2. What’s about the Mic in the Adam? Is it good as the speakers? (:D) Or comparable with others, like the MacBook Pro Mics?
Hello Rohan
Does the multi panel allow “in app” horizontal scrolling ?
Is there a home application with widget supports?
Where is todays video ?
First of all congrats to Rohan and his team. The video is really impressive and makes me to see wait for more features. Even though my pre-order status shows as 9th Jan, I am very much excited to have my fingers on Adam asap. Mail’d & weather app is really cool.
Rohan
I have great idea for eden.
optional horizontal panels. you can design eden to allow two horizontal and one vertical panel, while the adam is in a horizontal orientation. also two virtical and horizontal panel while the adam is in a vertical orientation. some apps like the browser just look better in a horizontal orientation. also you can allow a multi-point drag and drop gesture for moving the panels around.
Hey Rohan,
I know you are crazy busy and what not but I have a simple request for your next video. I have a feeling other people are wondering the same things but haven’t mentioned much about it.
#1 Can you show the Eden UI to go from landscape to portrait (scroll around) and flip back.
#2 Show the home screen (are the Eden panels always up/only thing ever shown?)
#3 run a benchmarking app to show how much power the Adam has compared to other devices (to shut up the spec people)
Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!!!

@Rohan in the detailed video’s could you add someone talking as well, explaining what you’re trying to show.I know you had that as subtitles but somehow having someone speak adds that little something. maybe the guy who developed the app, like MS has done for some of their stuff. that way we get to know the people who’ve worked this hard on what looks like a sweet UI & interesting apps & they get some recognition too!
If Rohan needs more capital, he could consider selling ad space in the next video. Instead of writing “Andre rocks” he could write “Joshua Price rocks.”:)
Or maybe the name of my blog?
I’m just saying, the ad would have a guaranteed audience…:)
I wonder if Rohan still reading our comments. Didn’t see his response on any of the comments from a while.(must be mad busy with CES preparation along with one vid daily thing… )
Hey folks…
Any guesses on what this next video will be???
and when will it be posted???, its been over 24 hours… so just startrng the guessing game!
starting*
From the beginning, I was under the impression that the panel concept was brought to bring the android apps to Adam. In one of the earlier posts, Rohan did mention about panels loading phone apps. The panel was made according to phone dimensions. However, now that marketplace is not available, does it mean that we cannot install android apps?
@Rohan: When can we expect todays video
@Rohan :
I did not make a preorder ‘coz of no ‘Mastercard’ or “Net Banking’ and now that net banking is available PixelQi are out of stock
So can you just tell us how long is the waiting time for PixelQi models so that i can go for LCD if waiting time is really long, can you ?
lol December 20 still the 19th by me
So… why can’t Notion Ink take back-orders on pre-orders? I am sure there are people like me who do not mind paying now for the PQ just to be in line.
lmao Read older post
Rohan, you indicated that you are selling as a global offering. My question is why the different zones for the 3G. I travel internationally and have the ability to work anywhere would be really great. Mobile phone use to be set for different countries but now you can use the same phone anywhere in the world. Does this functionality increase the cost of the device in a major way?
Have asked a similar question earlier. Hopefully we will soon have some clarity on the bands supported by each 3g models(850 model and 900 model)
It is very interesting the Nan sayers are not back to apologies. But who really cares its great we can get back to what is important and that is discussing what is developing here. both a Community Of Practices (COP). Discussing what is far more interesting that the rants of people who were not really interested in what was on offer anyway. I hope they find and get the tablet they deserve.
lol
I would like to extend my congrats to NI for finally coming out with the video, but like the rest, I’m still awaitign to hear when will be the next pre-order?
I shall post the Video URL on my Blog, word of mouth is strong.
Does anybody have ANY accurate information pertaining to
a) US-based tech support and product service/repairs?
b) a US distributor or manufacturer rep. that would be contacted in the event of any legal issues?
Discuses in older post. please read
I think its cool that they are letting the cat out of the bag before CES. Notionaddicts is an alright website, but I am prefering notioninkhacks these days. They have chat rooms, articles, forum, international translation, etc. These guys are the bad boys in town.
@Notioninkhacks
On your front page you show an old render of adam with the weather theme enigma.
As this image is
a) old (adam does not look like this)
b) inaccurate (Enigma is a Windows program)
c) contentious (the writer of Enigma has complained already about this image)
would you consider using a different image?
Rohan has responded once already to complaints made by these people.
Otherwise notioninkhacks seems like a good site.
I am hoping that Notion Ink put up their own forum very very very soon (Rohan has stated it is coming) and then we can perhaps centralize notionaddicts and notionhacks people’s comments into one location.
Peace out,
Phillip
Weird! This wordpress blog sucks. Somehow my whole account and subscription to the notion ink blog had disappeared! Had to re-register with my same name!? Never seen that happen before.
Anyway! I’m loving what I’m seeing! I pre-ordered and I can’t wait to receive it!
@mookiemu
It happened with me also. I commnted 3 or 4 times but none of them appeared here.
Suddenly it started working – only my last comment came up here. I have written to the WordPress support.

Don’t for get to put quotes around url’s and that way you don’t need to remove spaces. ie

@ Marc Thanks for the tip!
I haven’t seen any reply from Rohan on the subject, but I sure hope that there will be some sort of preference for those of us who got left out from the pre-order email, and for those of us who not only that but missed out the one-hour window before the Pixel Qi variants sold out! I’d hate for them to be available again and have them sell out with out getting a chance to get one.
so when i can actually buy this damn thing again with a p-qi screen?! that’s the real question. i need a date!
Probably in January. Not sure. Look in older posts.
yeah i’ve been doing my best to keep track… but i haven’t really seen any reliable information on when the next round of pre-orders will be. i hope forum regulars get first chance again, this time properly
@Rohan, or anyone else that can answer:
Several of us had preorder links, but got screwed by the servers (which said to come back later, and when we did, all of the adams were sold out). Will there be a way for us to get priority in the next batch? Or will we have to duke it out with the general public again?
At least you got a preorder link:-P
