Hands On With Notion Ink's Pixel-Qi Equipped Adam Tablet
Jax7 writes with this snippet from Technoholik, which dispatched a team with a video camera to get some early footage of the upcoming Android Tablet from Notion Ink, with Android and a Pixel-Qi transflective screen. Also interesting is the back-mounted touchpad.
"We flew down to Hyderabad and caught up with the Notion Ink team just before they left for Barcelona to showcase the Android-based tablet tomorrow at the Mobile World Congress. Note that this product was 'one engineering day short' but we aren't complaining since we literally badgered them into giving us this sneak peak. The top panel over the screen was still a bit loose, so they took it off before booting the system."
Love the touchpad. Like any Apple fanboy, I'm a big fan of reach-arounds.
You thought my name meant what? How very dare you!
What, with real badgers?
Why in the hell do I need 3 fucking USB ports on an underpowered toy?
So that you can connect an external keyboard/mouse? You can step into any generic computer store and buy a cheapo disposable keyboard and work on the device as opposed to being forced to carry apple accessories.
"Hey Apple! Instead of allowing me to connect my existing keyboards, let me pay you extra money so I can only connect apple keyboards!"
What well-adjusted person would connect a fucking tablet to a TV?
To watch movies, photos, online TV (Oh right forgot to mention.. this thing supports flash ;) )? You can step into any generic electronic store and get a HDMI cable for your TV.
"Hey Apple! Instead of allowing me to use my existing HDMI cables, let me pay you extra money so I can only use apple approved TV out connectors!"
What is the benefit of running 1080i video on this tiny ass screen?
"Oh no. This device supports high quality video, let me get that other device that doesn't"
A real genius you are. Got the consumer mindset all figured out...
