More in Portrait

Posted in Uncategorized by Rohan Shravan on January 1, 2011

Hi,

Posting one more video showing the browser now in portrait mode. Most of the apps where you will read a lot, portrait mode is enabled. This video is also our small thanks to our Un-Official Forum, Notion Addicts. Avo and others are doing a very good job in keeping everyone informed and community active! Let’s take a look at the video:

With Warm Regards

Adam has to hit the mass market to have any impact. It must be available off the shelf or be easily ordered online.
If this is not achieved in the next few months, no matter how good a product, it is doomed.
Availabiilty,reliability and after sales support ultimately decide the fate of most products and not the tech specs. This the makers must keep in mind.

As they are releasing adam at CES 2011, would it be beneficial to release there or have their own event? At CES audience are scattered across multiple products and they may not even prefer visiting NI’s stall (due to its small company presence). They don’t have their own audience (like something Apple’s conference room with audience dedicated for their product information). Wouldn’t it have been better if they scheduled their own event for official release.

Releasing at CES is something like saying we are releasing our product in a open farmers market where not many people are concentrating on you except the passers near by. Just my thoughts.

Hope NI will get the attention they deserve for this beautiful product. All the best NI we are behind you to support.

Lexar’s 32gb micro sdhc class 10 card for 149$, will be a perfect compliment to Adam.

Just 18 hrs more for the show…very excited to see Adam in action
GregW said, on January 5, 2011 at 18:41

I was wondering if anyone at the NotionInk office is using or can recommend me any sort of protector or case like what the IPad has? The example that I am thinking about is the black case/cover that can fold over and kind of protects the screen a little bit.

Any recommendations are more then welcome. Thanks!

Thanks rohan for all these videos. Happy CES ^^

I have read somewhere that honeycomb will be probably made available for tablets with a lower screen resolution. I wouldn’t stress too much about this until we now more. I think that rumor was spread to let potential customers refrain from buying existing/lower spec’ed tablets.

Hi everyone, I would like to comment that if you look at NI as a startup and that they are creating a product that is using cutting edge tech, then you have to look at the problems that Nvidia and PQ were and are having getting their products into production. The delays suffered by NI are partly due to delays of suppliers meeting their deadlines. Apple and the other players are using existing hardware and even they have problems meeting their deadlines. You also have to take into consideration what was and is going on with Android. There is still doubt in some circles that Gingerbread will perform as expected. From my perspective it’s a miracle that Rohan and team have accomplished what they have todate. From what I understand Nvidia and PQ will be so inundated with orders that Ni may be left out in the cold. Nvidia, PQ and Google have gotten off easy in the blame game. I also see Ni as the 1st global company that will serve a global market. They are not differentiating and may keep distribution inhouse and not to regional distributors. If you look at this blog as representative then it is a new day and a new way of doing buss..

Challanges Notion Ink will likely face come CES(when compared to others):
*Product availability- With (some)pre-orders barely having a hope of being shipping out around CES it isn’t a stretch to wonder just how long it’ll be until the next orders and how long after that it will ship.
*storage size- At 8gb internal storage(until that “coming soon” turns less vague) they’re going to have people passing them up. Expandable memory while nice, does not really differentiate the adam from most other tablets. 16gb is likely a bottom limit for some(I’ve seen quite a few on this blog contemplate eating the 5% cancellation fee on the blog to wait for larger variants) and I personally would’ve preferred they had gone over their early estimated price for it.
*Customer service- It is a young company so I understand that they need time to build up this section but based on pre-order(which was an admitted PR fail on most fronts including Rohan) and some frusterating phone calls about which 3g unit a customer can get, most people just hearing about the adam will be weary at the least. The blog is a nice look within but hardly customer service.
*Screen resolution- It flops, it was ok while the upper alternatives were over-priced ipad/galaxy tab but with the onslaught of tablets coming out the prices will be more reasonable and the screen will become a hinderance for NI.
*”Hidden” costs- What I mean by this is the hidden taxes/vats etc. NI needs to get a chart together on the ordering page and make sure it is seen. People who haven’t been following the blog and miss the T&C mentioning import costs, will be extremely unhappy if they are one of the unlucky ones to have import taxes to pay.
*Repair services- This is another one of those times where it is almost directly linked to NI being a start up but is still an issue. Shipping a device over seas to then be repaired and shipped back(=quite some time to get it repaired) may be ok to adamholics but to the casual consumer a repair center closer to home works out better.

Thats not to say NI won’t do well with adam. There are characteristics that will likely keep adam within the game such as the pixel qi display, the majority of the weight being in the battery hump in the palm of the hand design, as well as the panel apps. The challanges (minus the screen res) are simply things that will likely hold NI back in the short term as they grow.

The Adams specs are nice, Eden is nice, the price is nice, even better is that i can ditch the greedy big players, but there is only one real reason why have bought adam on day one:

-I am sooooooo tired of companies that are not dedicated to what they create.
They simply don´t give the consumer any firmware updates after the first or two
(HTC anyone?) and the abandon their amazing creations.
The only real support that we have is XDA, Modaco etc….
After following adams creation for the last 6 months, I have my hopes up hight that
Notionink will make the difference in keeping the adam up-to-date for a long time to
come.

That hope sealed the deal for me and nothing else!

PEACE
