dude Jagan….. Thanks for skeptical thinking and strange view….. I am pretty sure that you are not a follower of ADAM… for your information ROHAN is CEO of Notion Ink. (like when you think apple you name steve jobs, same way when you think of Adam you name Rohan). NI is start up company hence spokesperson and media is handle by himself, to minimize the miscommunication. Second thing, it not his personal blog, it is routed from company website only. They used forum concept to get attached directly with customer…. to understand this concept you need to read some marketing books. Third thing…. Product is really unique…. with its design, with its EDEN and and many more….. if you find other tablets most of them try to copy I Pad but ADAM is totally different from that…. need to have technical knowledge and capability to differentiate from other. Another thing… Notion Ink not only develop good product but they delivered too…. that also at affordable rate…. see the pre order 1 and 2…. delivered it successfully…. As a start up company they did well… and now they come with pre order 3 and got the huge response…. is it possible without teamwork dude….. not at all…. so check you skeptical view dude…..

All said and done – Notion Ink is a one man show and Rohan likes it that way.

Have you ever seen any of his senior colleagues ever contribute anything to this blog ?

May be it is his personal Blog but actually it seems to be more Informative and authentic source of Information on Notion Ink and Adam than the actual website.

His blog dominates his company’s official website just like he dominates his company.

It is none of our business so far as he is delivering a good product but usually one man shows fail especially when that man is obsessive and too possessive about his Ideas and Products.

He wont hire people who will not fall in line with his Ideas and line of thinking.

He may be brilliant individually but his current product is not so unique that it will not need many more brilliant people in his team to constantly improve the Product and more importantly improve the business operations and processes involved in Production and marketing the products on a large scale.

Even if his product was Unique no business can do well without a great team of Business Administrators.Developing a great product is one thing and delivering to the world at large at affordable rates is another thing.

Psychological profiling of Rohan is very important to consider much the same as technical profiling of Adam is.

If I may sum it up

I think no body will be surprised, least of all his colleagues, if Adam was renamed ROHAN. Some,including Rohan himself,may even like the Idea.

  Good observation/theory. Feel it is very near the actual reality!

  Guess you made some valid points. God could use you when he gets confused on judgement day

FOr me this is the last Saturday. If Rohan does not update this blog today I am going to unsubscribe from it. Nothing like rant or frustration but it’s feel so sad to see many of the mates here feel cheated like me . And Rohan seems more like a charlatan as weeks pass on.

  Hi Himanshu,
  
  I still have faith in Rohan, but my demeanor changed as well. I used to click on the “like” button when I saw a post form Rohan that I liked.
  
  But now; if the main item of a post is a promise ( such as “the next update all the existing Adam user will get due in the 3rd week of this month”), then I will wait until the deliverables are available to us before I click on the “like” button.
  
  For a CEO it is difficult to steer your company to the future while at the same time making sure that your current service is up to standard. But there is nothing as important as keeping your current customers happy as they are your current sales people AND your buyers of future releases. I think that Rohan is involved with many exciting things, but let’s hope that they also realize that they need a happy customer base in order to prosper.

  +1 Himanshu.
  
  This is not the first time when Rohan promised something and failed to deliver.

Hurray!!! today it’s friday, so I can’t wait till tomorrow for my weekly update. – …so by then, I don’t have to consider rooting or to buy another tablet. – Come ‘soon’ saturday
…peace, anyway!

  You Got to be kidding me…..

  Hi Calle60,
  
  Happy you join the crowd of Adam people who run stock Eden and still expect/hope that NI will come with official releases soon enough to prevent us from rooting or looking at other devices.
  
  I hope that Saturdays become a day of celebration again, but I am afraid that Suresh is very right with his remark “You got to be kidding me …“.

Maybe you were miscounting the weeks, Rohan?

I have put Adam on sale for a month on craigslist/eBay @350 with no buyers so far. This should be a concern for NI in their next PO3.

If they can resolve couple of issues like replace existing LCD with a PLS or a much better HD LCD many of the issues can be overlooked. This would be a concern for PO1/2 customers but for NI to survive to the minimum extent this is required. I can take the hit but NI surviving is more important. 2nd Wifi/bluetooth/GPS issues needs to be resolved.

If they can provide this and come up with a clear statement about HC release (release in next 1-2 months), it may gain some momentum.

Later for main market release they may have make Adam more slim/small compared to others so that people can carry Adam more comfortably. Recently when I looked at couple of guys carrying iPad/Xoom, they slide it in a small leather case I didn’t realize that they are in fact carrying tablet, it looked so slim and comfortable.

I am waiting till 3rd quarter for a Tegra 3 tablets (especially Amazon tablet for their world class support and quality) with all hardware ports like Acer/Toshibha. Till then Adam is supplementing my tablet requirement.

So far in the last 2 months of usage, I didn’t feel like taking Adam out for work/weekend as its too bulky to carry unlike xoom/iPad2/Acer/Asus.

NI please refine your Adam before PO3 (slim, better LCD) to succeed. Its only a suggestion as I want them to sustain between the big guys. Hope Adam doesn’t become DoA.

Well Rohan, I have pretty much decided to buy the new NOOK Touch as my reader and a new Netboob for everything else and keep my Adam as a toy and learning tool. In the new year all of the different Os’s should be on the market and I will make my tablet decision. They all seem to be evolving in interesting ways and one will eventually develop an E-reader capability. Until then waiting is…………..

Time for new post, too long to wait ..

bi-weekly….. where a week equals a quarter….

For my part, what I’ve had to do is “switch off”, because whenever I F5 myself to death awaiting an update I go crazy. This is one reason why I haven’t commented much on the blog. I check it maybe once a day through the RSS feed, but its just too painful to remain close. I just can’t afford to spend every day in hopeful expectation of some sign of life.

I use my adam every day, and sometimes run into a problem that I hope the next update will fix, but I have had to distance myself otherwise I get dragged down by the “silent treatment” from NI.

Here’s hoping that KING’s comments on conclave “very soon and it is very exciting” mean “soon” by our definition (a week – AT MOST) and “exciting” by our definition (A complete solution with dramatic improvements in performance and functionality)

Peaceout adamfreaks

Advent vegacomb 200 pounds! NOTION INK!! What are you doing NI, it costs huge to get Adam in UK, and that too without honeycomb!!! More than 200 pounds!

And these other honeycomb tablets are crazy priced, same hardware as NI, but not better, they are selling at over 400 pounds!

Come on NI, put some discipline in this battered tablet market where Ipad will always rule! Windows 8 coming!!!

Hi guys,
good to see you all in here again. and thanks for all your ‘marriage counseling’.
I will take it under advice, and rethink carefully. As ‘patience’ seems to be my middlename, I can assure you all my decision will not be made easily.
Knowing you are still here helps a lot.
Any word from NI here would certainly help. we are all worth being told the truth, even if it isn’t an easy truth. Anything is better than this silence.

I’m not sure that this is noteworthy either, but I just received RMA instructions from Support. They were very clear to point out that my replacement can not be sent until they have produced some more Adams of my type, but were very unclear as to when that would happen. I can only assume that it will be some time after the next pre-order round has started. As always…
Waiting is
- Paul Schoe said, on May 27, 2011 at 12:00
  
  @Dwarf, real sorry to hear about your problems, but happy that NI at least answered. It looks as if the new production facility is still working on getting the production line ready. It will indeed be nice to know if that is a matter of days, weeks or months.
adamjuly2010 said, on May 26, 2011 at 18:12

Hello all,
does anybody know something noteworthy on the announced updates?
- Suresh said, on May 26, 2011 at 18:23
  
  Yes, Rohan knows about it LOL
- adamjuly2010 said, on May 26, 2011 at 18:32
  
  Thanks for the really noteworthy news
- dwarf4242 said, on May 26, 2011 at 18:42
  
  adam, I’m sure my comment isn’t noteworthy either, but it isn’t clear that Suresh is correct in his comment either…
  Waiting is
- Suresh said, on May 26, 2011 at 18:46
  
  Well to be frank, Notion ink is the only one who knows about the updates. On the conclave, King mentioned that it will be released soon, well the definition of soon is unclear.
  
  In a way, I was correct, and also I was trying to spin up some humor. Well if some one already knows about it, they would have already mentioned.
- adamjuly2010 said, on May 26, 2011 at 21:42
  
  Sorry for being annoyed. Nevertheless: Thanks a lot for your answers.
  
  It would be nice if Rohan could shed light on the matter. But I suspect this is too much optimism.
