Notion Ink Adam Review - Posed to be next big success after Samsung Galaxy Tab

Notion Ink AdamNotion Ink Adam Review - The Android Powered Tablet:
"Notion Ink opted to offer two different screen technology options for the Adam, an LCD display like those used on televisions and laptops and a more advanced variety that uses Pixel Qi technology.

Pixel Qi is a variation of LCD technology that is extremely energy efficient because it can use ambient light as a source to illuminate the pixels on the screen, without causing the screen to fade in bright light, so it is easily readable outdoors. The backlight can be turned on and off, depending on the lighting conditions. (Here's a really good article about Pixel Qi if you want to learn more.)"

* 10.1" LCD WSVGA (1024 x 600) Display
* Optional Pixel Qi display with transmissive, transflective, and reflective modes
* NVIDIA Tegra 250 Dual Core Cortex A-9 Processor
* Android Operating system (2.2) with upgrades to 2.3 and 3.0
* Wireless: WLAN - 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, optional 3G
* 1GB DDR2 RAM, 1 GB SLC, 8+ GB Flash, Memory expandable up to 128GB
* Micro SD card slot
* Sensors: accelerometer (3-axis), ambient light sensor, GPS, digital compass
* Ports: 2 USB 2.0, mini USB, HDMI
* 3 cell 24.6Whr battery
* 3.2 MP auto focus camera with 185° swivel
* Built-in speakers, microphone, headphone jack (3.5mm)
* Dimensions: 269 x 191 x 14mm

The Notion Ink Adam has a decent hardware profile and some interesting innovations. I think that if they compete with Samsung on price they could be the next major tablet manufacturer to hit the one-million mark. It has the screen size to compete directly with the iPad as well. A strong suite of Android 2.3 and 3.0 software will be crucial.
