a’s first complete product company, and are starting first, with Adam

The iPad may have whet the consumer’s appetite for tablet PCs, by the end of this year he can expect to be spoiled for choice. Major manufacturers plan to follow suit with tablet implementations of their own: The HP slate and the Lenovo U1 Hybrid will run Windows 7 and have more in common with a traditional laptop, while Dell and Archos will be based on Google’s Android operating system. But most promising of all, is a Hyderabad-based company called Notion Ink, which has already made waves at CES 2010 with the Adam tablet.

Adam will be the first device to use Pixel QI’s transflective display, which can function in two modes: In the black and white mode, it consumes very low power and can be read in bright sunlight. This mode will help the Adam tablet function as an e-reader, like the Amazon Kindle, but the device can also switch to full colour mode, where it can use nVidia’s Tegra2 processor to play rich 3D games and high definition movies at 1080p.

“The possibilities are enormous. It has GPU which can allow high definition gaming, it has special screen will makes it an e-reader as well. It is Wi-Fi enabled, so it’s an internet-at-go device too.” said Rohan Shravan, founder of Notion Ink.

On the Adam, the power-efficient Tegra 2 chipset promises to deliver 16 hours of high definition video, and 160 hours in E-ink mode on a single charge. It will also have a swivel camera that will allow users to use the device as a web cam and a camera. The Adam will also support popular media formats, and will have an HDMI and three USB ports, and can be used like a mini-desktop with a port each, for a mouse, keyboard and external storage. The tablet runs on Google’s Android OS, but has a completely redesigned user interface.
