As the tablet market gets even more crowded and competitive (read: Did you see Computex this year?), any delay could effectively end a company’s chance at making that all-important first impression. Notion Ink Adam was just delayed until November.
It’s really too bad. The Notion Ink Adam looked impressive in demos and hands-on experiences, the specs weren’t too shabby, nor was the Pixel Qi reflexive screen. The back-mounted trackpad was a cool touch as well, rounding out what could have easily been a strong contender in the segment.
Unfortunately, fate’s a fickle thing, and a number of outside issues, including Tegra 2 hardware issues, Flash compatibility snafus, and “shareholder meddling” have derailed the planned July launch, reports CrunchGear this weekend.
Worse still, a November launch means the Notion Ink Adam will arrive alongside all these other tablets, the iPhone 4G (presumably already out and going strong) and Chrome OS. Oops. Again, fate, man. So fickle. [Good eReader Blog via CrunchGear]

Monday, June 7, 2010 at 9:04 AMquite annoying. though im a windows fan, i saw potential in this device. i easily would have dropped some doe on this device prior to the windows embedded devices, it was pixelqi that enticed me… but now… 3qi claim they have alot of oems coming out with pixelqi in the near future… adams unique specs are shrinking with a delayed launch.
yawn.

I can do more with my hTC Desire than any of the many iPhone owners I know, even the ones game enough to jail break them. I expect no less from the Android tablet devices coming out.
