I'm still confused how this tablet gets so much hype, and I think of the Joojoo every time I see this promoted somewhere. Yes, it has a cool display, but it's very sparsely marketed, too many promised features are still in the alpha stage (browser tabs not past the wireframe phase?), and they're even cutting initial corners by having the community design their logo (a la Gap).
It doesn't help when entire corporate website consists of:
"Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along
that changes everything!"
I'm all for innovation and it would be interesting for something to dethrone the iPad (which I use and enjoy daily), but something doesn't feel right with Notion Ink.
It has a PixelQi display. Realistically it isn't the Adam being hyped, it's the display. Most people don't cares about Notion Ink per se. they're excited about concept of actually getting their hands on a PixelQi tablet and Notion Ink seems to be the first company to actually deliver.
Is the software going to be buggy and incomplete? Probably. Is it going to be a serious threat to the iPad? Not a chance. But as long as the hardware does what it claims to do, that's good enough for me.
