- Tried to subscribe me to a variety of sites - porn, health, advice, news (hey thanks!). In some cases this idiot even went into the site, registered with my e-mail, added a password, verified it, logged in, and then subscribed me to the newsletter. So much work for so little.
- Tried to get into my wordpress account (I know, I got notifications)
- Tried to get into my blogger account (I know, I got notifications)
- Left 2 links on my blog, to two fake blogs he set up purporting to be me (thank you so much)
It's either (a) a really hard-core fan of Notion Ink or (b) an employee. Either way, it reflects very badly.
In other news, Acer announced their Iconia A700 today. I don't care for Android but that's OK, to each his own. Here's a spec comparison to Notion Ink Adam 2 - delivery date unknown, but it sure will be mindblowing as some fans will tell me.
So, here it is: Acer Iconia A700 vs. Notion Ink Adam 2 as we know so far.
| Specification / Other | Acer Iconia A700 | Notion Ink Adam 2 |
| Price | $450 | Unknown |
| Availability | Now | Unknown |
| Processor | Tegra 3 Quad-Core | TI OMAP Dual-Core |
| OS | ICS | ICS |
| Screen | 10.1" WXGA 16:10 LED 1920 x 1200 HD | We know it won't have a high-res screen. That's all we know. |
| Interfaces | HDMI, microSD, microUSB, Bluetooth, Wifi | Unknown |
| Peripherals | front (1 MP) and rear facing (5 MP) cameras | Unknown |
| Software | ? | World's first modular architecture, drag-drop, anyone can build apps etc. |
(Let me know if I missed something on either product / got something wrong. Will rectify it)
I haven't added more specifications as we know so little about Adam 2 beyond some of the core elements. And it has now been nearly 6 months since the Notion Ink CEO said he'd be taking his fans on the journey of Adam 2 design.
At the outset I fail to see what the unannounced Adam 2's advantages will even be. It's got to be some unannounced feature. If not, it has to be a fantastic price (like $200) and that's unsustainable for a small company. I'm sure someone will scream that you can't chroot it and it doesn't have a parallel port, but that kind of nonsense is best left ignored. Let's talk about designing to people who actually want their devices to work without fiddling on it.
In a few months we'll have a slew of new tablets, there will be iOS6 on iPads, and no doubt Samsung will make some impressive releases. Which makes me all the more curious what advantage is it for Adam 2? And if it releases end of 2012, it will be a full 2 years since the Adam 1!
Also, if the intrepid team of NI crusaders is successful in getting nVIDIA to release code, specification, etc., why would anyone need TI OMAP 4 when Tegra 3 would run vi blazingly fast?

ReplyDeleteHe does not have any work and is sure in hibernation :)
Hahaha, sounds like someone is employing some awesome cheap tactics to make your life a misery instead of working hard on Notion Ink Adam 2. I guess he knew that he couldn't do anything else. Well, cheap people pull off cheap stuff.
ReplyDeleteI was sm1 who bought the original Adam and that got me started on making vids on YouTube... today I have a bunch of subs and make a living online mostly and the Adam holds a place in my hrt for that... I hated the device though, sold it in 2 weeks, was just curious about Notion Ink after the engadget article and did a google search, stumbled onto your blog bookmarked it and been checking once in a while, it really sucks if someone from NI is actually trying to shut you down... So if anything were to ever happen and you had to start over or something, hit me up on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/aphroditelikesme), Ill try to help u the best I can to gain your viewership back (with shoutouts and whatnot)... I like the way you write, when ppl write negative stuff they tend to come off as bitter, your articles thought they are about the -ves of NI dont sound like they are written by sm1 bitter with a bone to pick but keep bringing a smile onto my face as I keep reading them, kudos!
