Get ready gullibles, Adam II is on the way!

So, after over a year of silence, the geniuses at Notion Ink apparently are readying Adam II. With "dual screen", no less. And features, who cares about features, it's all about design - that's what they apparently said too.

Here's the original article

http://www.nextbigwhat.com/adam-2-notion-ink-launch-297/

So, Adam II must be a blockbuster. Think of it, dual display and also "the world’s first Modular Based Software Architecture which will further expand the scope of application development and use nearly every single hardware feature in a “user customizable” application. Drag and drop features will enable easy application modification and Open Source Module will further expand the use cases and tablet deployment" (see my link for all other Adam II promises made)

I mean, awesome or what? 

Yes. If you're deluded or gullible. There's maybe two Adam I buyers who will still risk buying anything from this company. If you're anybody else - my long standing recommendation stands. Don't touch their product until a bunch of "Adam I type diehards" burn their money on it, and then wait if the product actually works without you having to waste countless hours on forums and begging for support. If it passes all those tests of product quality, service, reliability - then sure buy... oh by the time all that happens you'll have plenty of better choices.

I don't know if the third rate management has changed, if not, then this will be another "let's fool everyone with new promises" round again. Just watch.

(the reaction for this announcement has been very muted - guess it took a while for erstwhile fans to realize that Notion Ink's words mean nothing. There's still one or two supporters out there, but then there are also people who think moon landing was a hoax...)

  1. The old 'management' is still there, credited as Sh. Rohan Pandey and Sh. Rohit Rathi in the launch PR.

    "The main focus this time is on the design of the device as compared to specifications. Specifications have saturated now. Adding more cores doesn’t mean anything. We will have a very unique design with 2 displays!"

    Can you believe this guy?

  3. Started looking for your blog first thing after reading about Adam-II on Engaget. Knew there would be some heart felt abuse for the super incompetent and despicable company. Not disappointed. Thanks.

    Cheers!

  6. @dune - dual display... hahahahaha. It's like calling those old cell phones 10 years ago that had those little neon displays on the flip cover as "dual display"
