Introducing Eden – VII The Leaves

Posted in Uncategorized by Rohan Shravan on December 31, 2010

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

Rohan Shravan

Just view the video today at home. Bad Wifi connection in Atlanta. It’s awesome. Thanks NI!

yup, waiting for the pre-order 2, the qi display is what make it special.

Can’t wait for pre-order 2, still want one with the QI display! I hope we will get priority access, having followed the progress of the project for nearly a year.

Awesome, Rohan. Everything I’d hoped for. Thanks.

Did you say Pre-Order 2! I am in but I am surprised that NI would start selling its product to everyone sooner than later. Hope we are not Beta testers!

Could we see what the book reader will look like? What types of apps can we expect to see at launch? I would love to see angry birds…I am a little obsessed right now lol.

Pre-order 2? Are the payment options going to be opened up so I can actually order this time without my bank thinking my account was compromised? How about showing some extra love for those who tried or didn’t get to order last time.

Excellent!!! The more i see Adam in action the more I desire to have it in my life.

Can we have a portrait mode demo please? Do the leaves work in portrait mode? How do standard android apps scale in portrait mode – do they stretch or maintain their smartphone proportions? I’m sure this is one of the most wanted things that have yet to be shown. Does anyone agree?

The videos shown so far are pretty promising so hopefully this one will be too.

I would really like this to be my one and only device. The one that does everything; from texting and messsaging to managing all of my personal and bussiness affairs; banking, texting, schedulling and planning, etc. No more cellphone, netbook, zune, laptop, etc. To be able to write, sketch, paint and share thoughts, flights of fancy or inspirations, not only by text, but also by any other combination of medium that would best serve the purpose. This is one of those steps leading towards convergence? With these videos everyone I know is coming together around the potential, the possibilities; endless.

  What you explained really sounds like what the Microsoft courier was supposed to be like.

Looks great!

i know its Multi-tasking but switching from the Leaves to Desktop is a bit juttery (the worse iv seen so far from him) but no prob livable. Hope it gets better

  The reason it juttered is quite simple it is common for cheap hdmi capture cards to drop frames when objects move quickly

ipad is nothing but an enlarged ipod. Go adam! A tablet for the production minded professional.

Happy New Year to the Adam’s family

“Notion Ink’s new idea
If anything here is truly out of left field, it’s Notion Ink’s Adam tablet. The Adam is a surprisingly intriguing device from a little-known company, boasting unique screen technology and some natural good looks than run circles around the droves of iPad lookalikes.

Still, there’s plenty of reason to be wary, and the Adam could shake out in the “too good to be true” pile. Like the PlayBook, the Adam has an official product page full of details, but Notion Ink fumbled its pre-orders for the Adam in early December. Still, this is one to watch.”
