Notion Ink Adam Death of A Tablet part 2 : Impending Failure at launch?

"out of my cold dead hands...this ones mine!.battlecry of Adams 1st preorder customer"

"Thou shalt not worship false tablets ......."

Reading the entrails of my spare Joojoo I  continue to foresee the death on arrival of the Notion Ink Adam Tablet . Apart from satiating the Android nations hunger for a rival to the ONE  it will not have any significant impact on the tablet scene.

"Whats new Pussycat?????Whoooooaaa "

So there are videos , but there is no stock to pre order .There is no date for eta or delivery  As a company Notion Ink need to release stock not videos , any number of millions of UI layer videos exist  on Youtube at any given time , and many with cute kittens operating rival tablets and Rohan as cute as you are you cannot compare to mittens the kitten now can you ?  

how will Adam as demoed by Rohan below  

compete  with the feline interaction zenith the iPad has reached as illustrated by mittens below  ?

the lack of feline oriented functions in the  UI layer is just one more reason to worry for Adams future ,perhaps Rohan could start another year long blog offshoot where 1000s of the Notion Ink Flock bleat away .....

The insanity of the last paragraph is really just a non engineering design student metaphor for the complete nonstarter that the Adam launch has become.  In the end all that matters is stock reaching customers and their cats , and Adam has failed felines and their pet humans , claiming sold out pre orders is frankly just another part of the year long teaser campaign. 

"It puts the Notion in the tablet "

For almost a year Notion Ink have been leading loyal blog fans around by the nose detailing every detail , talking the talk , promising promises , and have delivered to date on none of them . Now videoing every function , at least superficially.

1. there is no stock - for an item that many were led to believe would be here before Christmas - Rohan should be chasing this not making teaser videos , oh look at the scrolling tabs .....

2. what are good people doing wasting time and money  on what looks like an 8g flash tablet that has no marketplace app store , a screen resolution that is not supported by the majority of open GL games ,  hardware that will be dated :

3. when it launches  , if it launches  outside a few 1000 niche purhases , it will fail : it will be competing with Motorola Google Tablets , Windows 7 tablets , the Asus tablet , the HP , Dell whatever tablets and lo of course Steves Apple iPAd part deux , not to mention the Samsung 10 inch ramp up of the Galaxy Tab and the dual core Blackberry tablet!

Are millions of people really going to switch to Notion Ink from established players , and if the likes of Samsung find it tough against Apple , and they have stock released everywhere , what possible chance has Notion Ink got with Adam with its present launch fiasco.

Many people talk of Notion Ink needing a PR company , a PR company to do what ? sell hot air?  they need to ramp up production , sort the pre-orders out for their only standout product the fabled PixelQi version ,stop with the teaser videos .  Blackberry also had teaser videos earlier this year for their tablet , thing is there was no tablet , it will hit next year , all of this makes business nonsense . 

The only thing that can take on iPad will be iPad 2 , millions of which are being manufactured right now in time for next February . What makes Steve a genius is preparation , and he seems to be able to have more time to devote to work as he is not constantly on a one to one blog posting teaser videos about a phantom product like the CEO of Notion Ink has done or the CEO of Blackberry did earlier this year

But come February you can bet Steve Jobs will be weaving his magic sales spiel about the only tablet that will dominate this form factor sales for 2011 , the iPad 2.    

so the question is do I wear black or white to the Notion Ink Adam launch/funeral , who knows may be I'll take a Notion Ink style survey on that ... 

Of course I may be completely wrong , but I have watched Fusion Garage fail , and they had a tangible product , [but useless software ] .


I have been using a 1024 by 600  dual screen tablet for months and I can tell you the nominal res is the iPads 1024 by 768 . Plus all those hoping to flash this with an other OS will be operating at a suboptimal res for most modern day OS applications and indeed games .  I can play almost anything on my Windows 7 Joojoo with its 720 p 1366 768 res and web pages etc look gorgeous at that res. So many games and applications will not run at 1024 by 600 that this fact makes the Adam a non starter for those hoping to try Windows and other OS on it .


And then we come to the real power users , you /we need dual screen tablet notebooks with full cpus and gpus as well as operating systems .


Why so serious ? Have you read the Notion Ink Blog , it comes across to cynics like sanctimonious self supporting babble . We love you love ... ahh ... someone ask the family where the product is , when it will release why it seems to have lost its most important features , how it will survive against the coming biblical plague of Tablets and  with Pharoh releasing his iPad 2 ... 


The thing is Rohan the audience for tablets has grown up a lot since CES 2010 , and the iPad launch , even the iPad 2 will not satisfy the tech lust of an audience that demands the best tech for its money . 


If my next fun tablet is an iPad 2 then 


Mine other tablet is a  full OS large screen hi res dual screen i5 i7 tablet


The hidden cost with all these non desktop OS  tablets , is the app purchasing , the apps are always sub desktop or laptop OS in functionality but as I said we are a year older when it comes to tablet use and not as easily wowed by tablet tech . 


Consider the Acer Iconia an i5 powered dual screen tablet that runs a full Windows 7 OS , infinitely more useful than the Notion Ink Adam , next year this is what many existing tablet owners frustrated with hardware limitations and having no need to learn the intricacies of another tablet will be chasing full OS dual screen tablets with more power than today's laptops and many desktops : 


here check out one of the coolest dudes out there  demoing the Acer Iconia .....wait till Mittens gets a load of this : 

even Endgaget are intrigued 

ok intrigued too ? now prepare to witness the power of this fully operational dea... sorry full Windows 7 OS dual screen i5 powered tablet: Note how nothing Notion Ink will come up in their videos can compare !

now that is what  I call progress !where do you think my money will go Rohan?

Warm Regards,

this post was made possible by the genius of  Mr Demille ,  Charlton Heston and hopefully will wake up the dormant genius that is Rohan Shravan , come on dude pull your finger out! and of course Mittens whose favourite game can be found on iTunes
