Notion Ink

:) (update)

Posted in Uncategorized by Rohan Shravan on January 15, 2011

Hello Fellows!

[update]: Read few comment on the glass, and matte nature. Here is exactly what it is. Adam comes with 2 layers of Matte Surfaces, one on the LCD screen, other through the Matte Screen protector on the outside Glass. Inside layer cuts the gloss on the LCD layer and colors are not washed out. For the outside glass we are using specially designed matte covers which users at their end can decide to use or not. It is finger stain resistant (oil component) and has same matte properties as on the LCD. The glass in itself is further scratch resistant. Hope this resolves the confusion.

I got the news yesterday but thought should start the Saturday tradition again! Labs have officially announced the FCC clearance and will probably update the status on the FCC website either today or on Monday. This means that we start printing on Monday and start shipping around Wednesday! :) Those curious ones can look out for NI3421A01 as the Product Code, Guarantee Code: Y2G and  0020356499 as FNR to search the product (you will get results only when FCC updates on their websites). I have the CE details, but I think there is a regulation that details can only be made public by them.

There is a small story behind the product code (assigned by Notion Ink). It reads NI3421A01. NI stands for Notion Ink and A01 is Adam 1 series. 3421 are consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci series. We can trace the number down to NI0000A01 (later ones being 0100, 0102, 0302, 0503, 0805, 1308, 2113 and 3421). This would mean that the final Adam you will receive is the 9th iteration! Behind every version and number there is either a very beautiful or sad story. For examples the 1308 version was in May last year when the investor issue started.

In the last blog, Mr. Rantz from LongBoxDigital spoke about our collaboration with a BIG Media group. This is definitely exciting for our content strategy, but there was something under the wraps since September last year (was work in progress). We are getting LOTS of content for you, and you will certainly be extremely happy! This content side might include music, videos, books, and magazines (along with Comics with LBX).

Pre-order 2 has yet not started because we are waiting for deliveries in US and European countries (that would mean that we are just a few days away from it). But this time we are not going to do the mistakes we did last time. Last time we missed a lot of you, this time we will communicate with a lot of you to make it easier for those who were disappointed last time.

With Warm Regards

    Good news ! :)

    What I hope : a 16GB+ version and the possibility to pay with a Mastercard (or, at least, PayPal)
    I’m going to need it for March (before the 18th). So, I hope it’ll be possible de received it before that date, in Europe/France ! :)

    Good Week-End !

    OMG, I hope this time I can order, last time, even I’ve been following and posting here for over a year, I didn’t get the e-mail. Then when the post alerted me about open pre-order process, it wouldn’t accept my payment!! When I tried again, pre-order closed!!! Please, please, I don’t want to wait anymore!!! :)

    Hey Everyone,
    I know no one has reported getting their ADAM yet (but hopefully soon!!!) but the first thing most people do after buying an expensive piece of technology is get a case. I don’t know if NI has something in the works, but if you have any suggestions, their is a blog on Greg’s NI website: “http://www.notioninkfan.com/2011/01/opportunity-to-help-design-case-for.html”

    I know that I would want a case right away…I’m a protection FREAK,

    I intend to be on the next pre-order, so don’t forget us this time!

    I stayed away from the “i” things out there until I got my droid smart phone and don’t regret it one bit! Now I’m waiting for the Adam because I believe it is much better than all the other tablets out there.
    BTW, I’m into software, hardware and all kinds of gadgets -except for the apple stuff- so I know what I’m talking about!
    Rohan, I thing you hit it out of the park, my friend!
    Thanks

    Can’t wait to hear about Preorder 2, Rohan! I get more excited everyday – you guys have made THE tablet to beat out there! But then you already know that! :)

    ZOMG! Pre-Order round 2? My girlfriend convinced me to wait to see more reviews before I shelled out the cash for one of these bad boys and I missed my opportunity. I will NOT make the same mistake twice. I want! Please let us know when we can expect another round of ordering!!! :)
