Facing 1000s of rival tablet pcs with superior tech Notion Ink have decided to reveal their secret weapon . How are they going to take on the army of Honeycombe , Windows 7, iPad 2 , Blackberry et al tablets?Answer with the standout feature : No literally with a stand , out of CARDBOARD , folding from the black card board case which frankly looks like the coffin you should bury this folly in.
So as expected Notion Inkers have delays on their deliveries , Notion Ink desperate to massage the sheep egos of its loyal fans , have released some groovy pics of what I hope is not the fabled mystery feature : a card board box stand !
now any one who has used any tablet will know the back will run hot , the tablet will carry considerable weight , and frankly your wunderkind not Honeycombe , much delayed an over hyped Adam , if you can get one is going to look , how do I put it kindly , totally .... c..like this :
So is it safe ? is it safe? as the dentist asked the jogger? I bet you are glad you sank $600 into that now ?
Seriously avoid the Notion Ink Adam at all costs , the Notion Ink sheep are even baa baaing about an Adam 2 this year ... So even more incentive to chose from the army of tablets that are around now and coming round the mountain to steam roller the folly that the Adam has become into oblivion .
Although if you are into papercraft ...or cardboard , find shoe boxes inspirational , go for it . No not really the Adam is dead tech , avoid at all costs !
It is great to see independent talent developing tech , but it remains to be seen if startups like Notion Ink can do that which makes USA , Nihon, Korean , Taiwanese giants dominant in the tech industry , that is learn to take criticism as feedback and act on it . And in today's Internet powered world , where people can see through bs , and discuss it in seconds in their own forums this is absolutely essential and this is where Notion Ink and Fusion Garage before them failed .
No other tablet manufacturer has on the surface been so in touch with its audience than Notion Ink , but they still managed to produce a tablet with the wrong OS , wrong screen resolution , wrong payment model , you can without a penny leaving your bank preorder with any credit card the soon to be released asus eee slate ep121
, but people have paid upfront through great difficulty for the Adam which has still to be released! How could they get it so wrong , maybe the arrogance of youth , but critically not listening to the needs of their users , you can get away with that if your product is unique like the iPad was with a market to itself , but 1 year on with literally 1000s of choices for tablet fans , not listening and providing for the needs of your users will by the final nail in Adams cardboard coffin, and I do in no way consider the warm regards almost condescending spoon feeding of the Notion Ink Blog community in any way listening or responding to feedback .
Throughout the year long folly that is the Notion Ink Blog , for it is the blog that is more substantial than tablet , Rohan/Notion Ink have released info when THEY wanted , released tech details when THEY wanted , released the tablet when THEY wanted , responded to comments when THEY wanted,introduced preorders when THEY wanted ,with the payment method THEY wanted ,and are even delivering the Adam when THEY want , so where in that year long blog drama has Notion INK ever given the consumer they wanted? Much negative feedback has been censored or removed , and this is where they went wrong , instead of deleting it or moderating it they should have listened .

If Notion Ink fans are honest they have been led round by the nose , and frankly when you stand up your Adam , if it works as no one has actually used one outside of controlled conditions , you are going to feel slightly used as you read the instructions to assemble your paper craft stand....So The Notion Ink Adam will be the first casualty of 2011 in the slate war .
What interests me most is if Notion Ink do the other great thing that all the major tech companies , even the mighty Apple , have had to do , get up from failure , learn from it and turn it into future success? Based on my experience of studying them over the last year I doubt it very much.
