Back from Hibernation!

Posted in Uncategorized by Rohan Shravan on April 5, 2012

Hello All,

We are back from hibernation now! Sorry for the break (much-needed on our end).

Let me know what is flowing across your minds and I will keep you busy reading on weekends!

Regards

Rohan Shravan

    Sorry Rohan,
    this post won’t even wake up Gecko from his hibernation ;(
    Remember him from the times Adam was still so promising? Would love to see his sharp response on this ‘situation’.

    Rohan,

    Please do not make promises that you cannot keep.

    For once, let us (those who whole heartedly supported you and Adam 1) have a decent and fully operation ICS for Adam1.

    There have been so many other tablets released since Adam1 was introduced and they all have delivered more than your promises……you have let us down…..for sure…!!

      I full agree, no promisses, no lies please !

    Please just get ICS working. ADAM could be the best tablet out there…………

    I am so happy with my Adam, that i send it for pricy repair after a drop breaking the screen. No other tablet meets the requirements. I’m sure i want the Adam2 (with PixelQi again) when it is available.

    My question; why the name Adam2 and not Eve?

    +1 Nice touch.

  7. harvey186 said, on April 5, 2012 at 19:06

    Tell us about a “family” price for ADAM2 for all frustrated ADAM1 users !!

  8. Martin Gamache said, on April 5, 2012 at 18:17

    Well, you know what we want to know. How about telling us something instead of writing an empty post?

    Warm regards

    Please tell us about:

    1. Adam 2
    2. ICS on Adam 1
    3. Anything else currently happening at Notion Ink

    I’m happy with the Adam 1. My laptop is showing signs of dying — I give it another year at most. I am using the Adam 1 as a replacement laptop (I’m a linux user so it’s possible, though not out of the box). Depending on the specs of the Adam 2 (and whether your company is still alive!), I may well go for it as my next laptop. So, please make Adam 2 have (1) a keyboard, like the Transformer; (2) Pixel Qi; (3) good compatibility with Linaro, Ubuntu etc (they all support OMAP4 already); (4) easy rootability. The scientific market is significant and my Adam “laptop” has excited plenty of interest from whoever has seen it. Apple poached many Linux users over the past few years. If you do things correctly, you can poach some of them back. A machine that runs Ubuntu-on-Android, and has all-day battery life, would be a winner for many people.

    Yep, me too also stopped with my Adam 1, I go and wait for the Asus Transformer Infinity Pad 700.
    After 1,5 years waiting until its works 100% its enuf, the Adam 1 is getting old too.
    It was fun from the start, what I always sayd, you never forget this beginning and start of a brand.
    Thanks to all

    R.I.P. Adam 1

    • dwarf4242 said, on April 5, 2012 at 17:59

      Asus just released their fonetab (sp) as well. You get a cellphone, a tablet, and I believe it also comes with the battery extending keyboard that I like so much on my Transformer.
      BTW, my Transformer just upgraded to 4.0.1 last week.

      So, Rohan, where is our Ice Cream Sandwich for the Adam 1? It sure would be nice to have the camera back, now that I have the hardware fixed. Any idea why hardware that you have the full specifications for seems to be so hard to make work? It worked pretty well in Eden, except for the video trying to re-focus all the time.

      What up!?

  12. dwarf4242 said, on April 5, 2012 at 17:30

    Welcome back Rohan! You have been missed!

    Like several others, I am anxious for some Adam 2 news. Any prototyping being done?

    Waiting is,

  13. crodgers79 said, on April 5, 2012 at 17:28

    ROM development on the Adam 1 seems to have slowed to a crawl..no updates since 15 March. I finally gave up on my Adam and ordered an Acer Iconia A500 (factory refurb, 10-inch ICS) for only $239. A large company like Acer actually supports ICS on their hardware and offers frequent updates! Imagine that?

    I agree with the other poster, it’s time to just let the Adam 1 go, it was a bad investment and it’s not gotten any better. While I was interested in helping a start-up company that could produce hardware near equivalent to the first generation Xoom we have to realize that a high percentage of start-ups fail and this one is no different.

    R.I.P. Adam 1

    • ice5nake said, on April 5, 2012 at 17:45

      How old is the Adam? I was one of the first to order one and I got mine barely over a year ago. I still hope to have ICS running on it someday.

    Looks like you are waiting to announce something….but …kindly make sure that you announce something worthwhile……I’ve been waiting for a positive news from NI….kept on postponing my tablet purchase..in spite of tempting options I have …….Keeping my finger crossed….x

  15. Rajendra said, on April 5, 2012 at 17:14

    Don’t worry below are the list of things that happened during your hibernation.
    Updates:
    Now its Spring time,
    iPad 3rd gen is released,
    Google is demoing Project Glass
    Moto & G’s marriage proposal has been approved by FCC & EU.

  16. topspnr said, on April 5, 2012 at 17:10

    Did the pall over at tabletroms about the demise of adam 1 jar you loose from hibernation?

  17. Roopesh Nair said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:56

    Will be waiting… hopefully release candidate ICS for Adam1

  18. Bryan Cahill (@beco1979) said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:54

    Remember when these posts used to generate lots of replys?!?
    Seriously guys, forget about Adam1 and especially Adam 2. Adam 1 was a mess. Just pick up a €150 tablet from china and get ICS straight away. Update it to Honeycomb using the usual list of sites and get rid of the rubbish they sent it with. The camera will bnever work right either. Its been a year!
    It was a big mistake we made buying an Adam, forget about it and move on. They’ve been saying lots about adam 2 again but nothing happening and I very much doubt anything will.

  19. milo15 said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:51

    Seriously? is that all you have to say after such a long hibernation. I didn’t expect you to come up with a final fully tested and complete ICS ROM after countless failures, but to come up with nothing of note is really disappointing.

    What is flowing through the majority of users minds you probably don’t want to know to be honest. Just get your act together and meet you goals with adam 1 and you will appease us to some extent however i will always regret buying this tablet.

  20. Bridlington Bandb said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:50

    What a strange post, no information at all. You know exactly what is “flowing across our minds” when can we use the product we bought with a fully working up-dateable operating system. Or if not when do we get our money back.

  22. sanal said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:38

    what’s new at NI? how is everyone doing (especially adam2 :) )

  23. rogerrdb said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:36

    More importantly: what is going on with ICS for Adam 1??
    That is all I want to hear….

  24. Tony Heeley said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:36

    What is happening to ICS on ADAM 1? I really want the camera working and am seriously thinking of moving to the Transformer Prime, even though I haven’t really used my ADAM to its full extent.

    • rogerrdb said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:37

      Exactly the same for me, except that I want the BATTERY working properly, as well…. And I have never really used that Adam, either…

  25. Germaine Langhorn said, on April 5, 2012 at 16:31

    Whats going on with the NI Adam 2?
