We are live again!
[Update: Many users are experiencing some issues in update and on conclave, as we are experiencing extremely heavy traffic on the store. We have stopped the update servers for a while and will go live again at 3PM IST with new build IDs and different servers for smoother downloads and installs.
There will be alternative server addresses as well for those who want to install manually.
Thanks for being patient]
Hello Everyone!
Sales are live again! Those who have received emails can log in and select the variants they want! And for those who haven’t got any email, here is the link to subscribe! http://store.notionink.com/subscribe.php Indians can expect to see integrated prices (inclusive of shipping, taxes, customs and handling charges (and yet cheaper than earlier end prices)). Australians can expect local technical support, and so can Europeans!
Also in the evening today, all can update to the new Eden 1.5 with more apps. We have kept our energies focused at Honeycomb rather than fixing everything on 2.3, but still those who want to test, can test the 2.3 variant on Wednesday!
As for a fixed date on Honeycomb, expect 27th of June with acceleration and more!
Warm Regards
Rohan Shravan
Rohan, this is definitlly not the right time, but I noticed that Mary Lou Jepsen has announced new Pq screens for release later this year, is it possible to start a thread on the new Adam2? The software side of the equation is coming along and by year end should be polished but the hardware we have is what it is. I am interested in what we can expect in the next evolution of the Adam and NI. It would be exciting to see some of what we can expect to see and how that will impact on software development. I know that you have taken a beating todate but the future waits for no one, the past is the past and quickly forgotten. .
Check out our site its made just for apps that work on the adam!!
Description

So I had a weird day at work due to adam’s absence. Couldn’t get my 3G past 82% so just abandoned it.
Done the OTA 3 hours ago, restored my root + market from the old hack then full restore with Titanium Backup.
Panels are much better although going back on NI browser causes blank pages so sticking with dolphin.
Could not log into any google services on both my adams until I enabled ‘sync background data’. Then I logged into google in add account and all google services became accessible.
I have read that a lot of folks can’t use the hardware back button. On my PQi wifi it’s no longer functional but on my Lcd 3G it’s working…….yay!
I was at an Apple authorised store today to do an interview for an Auckland, New Zealand newspaper. While taking photos, I saw a white Ipad on the counter and I started testing it out. Like all Apple products it looked good and felt good in my hands. Like a platinum blonde, an iPad never fails to attract loads of attention.
But I was underwhelmed by it. Can’t explain why.
Anyway, I told the manager that much as I appreciated the virus-free Apple environment and the cool looks and brilliant resolution, I won’t ever buy one, because Apple products are priced to gouge your bank account. They are product that have become overly aspirational. Now everyone wants an Apple PC or laptop when they can’t afford it. For instance, you pay NZ$1600 for a mid-sized Apple notebook and then pay another $300 for the software.
But he said that things have changed, now Apple bundles everything for one price. But I said I’m happy with my two Toshiba’s because they have never ever crashed in 5 years. The gap between Apple and rest is nearly closed.
After inspecting my Adam he said, “For just NZ$300 (around US$250) more, you could have bought an iPad.” He said this as if I had picked up some crap. But then he’s paid to trash other tablets.
The Adam is like the Merc. You don’t buy a Merc for its looks.
One of the best things I like about the Adam is the shape. It’s just unique and it helps you told it in several positions, and I do fidget a lot when I’m sitting on a chair or laying on the bed. So with each twist of my body I change the position of the Adam. The round rubberised grip makes it so easy to hold it.
On the other hand, the iPad is squarish and slippery. (I do like the ipad’s white bezel and I hope NI introduces new colours). I would never feel comfy with it. I’m also clumsy and I drop things every day.
I could go on. The Adam is a great product, it just needs a better bezel, more colours, a bit lighter so the femmes and kids will feel comfy holding it.
@Megasthenes, Nice review, good thoughts.
Thank you Philip. I’ve been following your comments for a long time.
Just hope NI stops being a one-product company. Only a passel of products will keep the company appealing in clients’ eyes. Right now I’d like to buy a keyboard dock and carrying case for the Adam. Sometimes I can’t use the Adam when I’m interviewing someone and there’s no table or flat surface. I have to go back to my sPad (reporter’s scribble pad)! Now that’s really low tech and defeats the whole purpose why i bought the Adam – to zap people into submission. Of course, when I’m able to use the Adam I can sense serious envy!
Anyway, NI could easily earn US$100 from such value addition as offering a case with inbuilt keyboard. This is how Apple churns the market. There are some customers who have more money than smart and they buy all sorts of accessories. These are the people NI should target. I do get iPad envy because these fellow have millions of accessories and apps to choose from. There’s a company called Goliath which is coming out with a case but god knows when.
I saw one comment that wifi was improved, and Rohan said it was fixed. Has anyone else who had weak wifi find that it has been fixed? Thanks
hey, can anyone tell where to get the change log from?
thanks..

The update worked like a charm. Did not find any annoying problems. Well done. The lessons learned from previous update are implemented
