Notion Ink Adam hands-on (with video) at MWC 2010

We got a few minutes today to check out the latest build on Notion Ink’s Adam prototype that we first saw back at CES. Like we heard a week or so ago, there will indeed be two versions of the Adam — one which will be 12.9 mm thick and boast the Pixel Qi 3Qi e-paper screen, and another, thinner, non-Pixel Qi screen. The thinner, lighter version will measure in at 11.6 mm thick. As far as we know, the only difference in the two Tegra-powered Adams will be the display, and we also hear they are shooting for a third quarter of 2010 launch. The prototype on hand at MWC was not working, so one of the Adam’s developers was kind enough to shoot a demo video of a working unit for us (and its Flash support) — which is after the break.

LG says it’s launching a product to ‘compete with Apple and Amazon,’ maybe by April

LG isn’t dishing out many details about this one just yet, but company exec KW Kim (head of LG’s Middle East and Africa Operations) has told Emirates Business that LG will soon be launching a product — “maybe by April” — that “will compete with Apple and Amazon.” And, well, that’s about it. As you may recall, however, LG has been showing off various bits of technology for e-book readers over the past little while, including a solar-powered system designed specifically for e-readers and, of course, someflexible e-paper displays that have already turned up in the Skiff Reader. In other LG news, Kim also dropped word that the company is talking with Etisalat about a new line of “notebooks” (possibly netbooks) that would use “Google’s operating system,” although it’s not clear if he was referring to Chrome or Android.

Our screen won the “Best of Computex” Award from Laptop Magazine at Computex 2009

We have now started production of our first screens (a 10.1″ diagonal) and are shipping to our customers (the device makers).

  • Epaper Screens- with Color And Video

    Our first screens are 10″ diagonal screens for netbooks and ebook readers.  These screens rival the best epaper displays on the market today but in addition have video refresh and fully saturated color.  The epaper mode has 3 times the resolution of the fully saturated color mode allowing for a high resolution reading experience without sacrifice to super color fidelity for graphics.  In addition these screens can be used in sunlight.  For more information contact: vivek@pixelqi.com.

    First pictures:

    A comparison of our screen compared to other screen options below:

  • Low-Cost, Very Low Power HDTV

    We have begun design of a sub-10 watt HDTV that can be used in hundreds of millions of households that don’t have steady, if any, access to electrical power.  The typical HDTV uses more than 100 Watts and often draws several hunded watts.  We are working on a way to massively lower the power consumption, and significantly lower the price with a target price of $100.  Thus this HDTV can run off of battery that can be charged up when the power is on, or charged with a small solar panel, crank, or so forth.

Notion Ink Adam

Posted by ts On 29.01.2010

Another tablet running Android and powered by the Tegra 2 chip is the Adam, a 10-inch tablet from Indian startup Notion Ink. It uses a screen technology from Pixel Qi that combines the best of a full color multi-touch LCD display with a low-power reflective mode that’s readable in direct sunlight.

Notion Ink says the Adam should come to market in the second quarter of this year, with a target price somewhere between $300 and $800. Slashgear got a lengthy video demo (embedded below) and oodles of pics of the device.
