Notion Ink Adam review

Notion Ink Adam review - The saga of the Notion Ink Adam is a tale like many we could name -- it's the story of a tiny company struggling to bring a vision to market, facing friction from investors, factories and the march of time itself. The difference is that the Adam captured the imaginations of gadget fiends like ourselves with ideas that were fantastic from day one and are still novel now that it's finally been released, including a paneled UI, full USB host functionality, and of course that Pixel Qi screen. But does the Adam deliver on the promises of unifying form and function with such technology? In two words: Not really.

During the past 10 days I have been very busy with work and other responsibilities, but I have also spent a good amount of time working with Andy at notioninkhacks.com to test the root, market access, and other hacks he and his team have been providing for other the Adam owners.  I have also been working with Notion Ink to test the updates they have been working on.  It is exciting to see how much progress has been made in only 10 days.  It is even more exciting to think about the changes that are coming soon!

T-Mobile G-Slate and G2X dual-core smartphone

T-Mobile G-Slate and G2X dual-core smartphone - T-Mobile G-Slate and G2X dual-core smartphone coming on April 20th?

LG, you big tease! T-Mobile must be feeling a tinge of regret for hooking up with the Korean hardware manufacturer lately, as TmoNews reports both the G-Slate tablet and a new G2X smartphone (believed to be the US moniker for the Optimus 2X) won't be coming Stateside for at least another month. Neither will be exactly late, mind you, since both feature dual-core Tegra 2 chips and the G-Slate runs Google's freshest Honeycomb software, however a launch date of April 20th does put LG a step behind its direct competitors. Motorola has already rolled out its own Xoom and Atrix alternatives, while Samsung is making noise about its new Galaxy devices, which might well beat LG's wares to the market. Rumor is we'll get an official date out of T-Mobile at CTIA next week, so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
