My Box! (with more photos)

Posted in Uncategorized by Rohan Shravan on January 21, 2011

[Updated]: Just got these photos (were shot in HK yesterday)

_________________________main post___________________________

Hello All,

I just received my box from the Bangalore Airport, and thought should share few images with you. Here we go:

Those color codes are for shipment company to differentiate models and ship the right ones. They are shipped (air) from Hong Kong.

This extra box is the gift box and will bear all the damages that might happen while shipping, from scratches to dents, etc.

This seal is to make sure that your box was never opened, if you do get a broken seal, please report back asap to us. You will have 2 more seals in the inside box, and that’s the last check on genuinity. You can’t remove these seals without leaving a trace on the packaging.

This is the main box. :)

It’s not a cuboid!

That’s your Adam!



This is the stand part. Over the left is how the internal are designed, and over the right is how it is used.

The Booting!

After launching few panels.

Something which no other device will be able to do for a looooong time! Swivel camera is something we have a lot of expectation from. It’s a real big advantage. That’s Rohit by the way. 

Do read the manual first!

An update is already awaiting for you!

Test all the ports, connectivity, the speaker, etc.

And post it online, Adam has arrived!

I saw the comments and again they went on, no promises kept, I have not received, etc etc! My! Hold on for a while. For a little comfort, it might be good to know that all were air-shipped. This is how it happens. It starts from China Factory, then to Hong Kong where our main logistics center is, from there tracking numbers are generated again ( 2 tracking numbers, one from China to Hong Kong, which is not shared with you, and other from Hong Kong to your home, which is what will get updated on the site).

Now let me play with my Adam! :)

With Warm Regards

Rohan Shravan

    Greg posted a nice update on his blog: “http://www.notioninkfan.com/2011/01/quick-update-for-now.html#comments”

    Being a loyal follower from when Adam was nothing more then a concept on paper till now when people are receiving their very own Adam in the flesh. It has been great to see a start-up have a dream and make it a reality. It has been exciting to see the launch of such a great product even though for some reason I was left out of the original pre-order but I am happy for the people who were able to be a part of the first pre-order and look forward to the second pre-order. However I would like to just say a few things to you @Rohan:
    1. You guys are doing a tremendous job as a start-up and have been put unduly under the microscope by some of the bigger gadget sites. They almost seem bias and as if they want you to fail.

    2. I appreciate your interaction with us right in the blog. However with the length of each post it seems hard to find your replies and I often see people referring that you have answered and have to go back and really look hard. I would suggest a central place that you can address the masses. So we dont have to look through the blog and piece together whats going on.

    3. I know I am really curious of seeing Notion Ink roadmap for 2011. Meaning time line and details of your plans. Such as pre-order2 timing, general ordering time line. I would also like to see as well your plans for vendor relationships in the U.S. and who will carry them as well.

    4. Also in the U.S. all the major telco are rolling out LTE tech or Wimax. Are there any plans to offer radios for either of these technologies? This is a critical question since in the next 2 months they are launching several tablets with the new technology.

    LMAO. I told you guys that its gonna be a crapware. It is evident from how the project/product is executed.

      And here, ladies and gentleman, you have an example of a mean-spirited commentator. I had mentioned this type earlier. An interesting pathology, really.

    FYI, less that 24 hours after Adam arrived…. Sweet…

      Looks like it may disable the camera though? This is very good news. There are several apps that require root access like titanium backup(which is essential for any android device IMO). Sick and tired of loosing all my saved levels i got 3 stars on in angry birds… I dont think anything worse can happen in the world than loosing this data with an update ;><;

      >> Looks like it may disable the camera though?

      That was on the Adam software ported to the Veiwsonic G-Tab not on the Adam itself.

    Looking at the reviews, I’m not impressed. The most positive review seems to come from a guy who wiped eden off his tablet. It looks unresponsive, and why the glossy screen? You are making a Pixel QI tablet with high-gloss glass? I knew you saw this complaint coming, bc you advertised it differently and included a lame-ass screen protector!

    By the Way – HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY to all from India – the birthplace for ADAM.

    The constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950

    Killing time
    Anyone here seen the movie Social network?

    I feel as though Rohan and NI could be the next ones to pull something like this off if they are willing to take some of our advice serious.

    xoom priced at $800. adam you have a great opportunity (fix the software sluggish issue and touch interface issues). You can’t loose this golden opportunity.

    Hello everyone, Wishing you all a Happy Republic Day in India and for those who are in Australia, like myself, Happy Australia Day. It is kinda nice to have an off today and read more about ADAM and see the videos.

    • bikram das said, on January 26, 2011 at 10:05

      Awesome…didnt know until you wrote. Happy Australia Day to you, and thanks for the Republic Day wishes….even though I’m in the US, I’m glued to the TV for the impressive military and cultural floats, AND going thru my fav blog reading about the ADAM.

      At least today got to know something about another commonwealth. Learning new things however small…everyday :)
