What's the point of a proximity sensor in a device like this? I'm probably not thinking outside the box enough, but I'm not putting it against my face or anything. Why do I need a proximity sensor?]]>Feb 14th 2010 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/Feb 14th 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/
That would be a light sensor not a proximity sensor.]]>Feb 14th 2010 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/
My guess would be that if you stepped away for a minute or two that it would go to some type of sleep mode to conserve the battery and than turn back on when you got back. ]]>Feb 14th 2010 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/Feb 14th 2010 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/Feb 14th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/Maybe it dims the screen if its lying around someone is about to sit on it..

all these components are designed for low price point. they just happen to be really good products.

the destination of all technology is to become small and affordable.

Don't let apple fool you. Any SOC tablet should cost 400 or below. 800(ipad) defeats the purpose of the concept. Bad engineering or greed. you decide which one or both. ]]>Feb 14th 2010 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/Feb 14th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/Feb 14th 2010 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/Feb 14th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/

its way too closed down in comparison with Android and its not my fault that apple restricts so much.

A patent for that would be a cash cow for years to come.

I think this is the most innovative part of the device - if they of course would not forget to accommodate left handed. Or better yet having two touch pads for both hands would be simply great.]]>Feb 15th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/

The screens backlighting is essentially turned off and results in a reflective display that then reflects the collected light back at the screen, resulting in a brighter display, ie, the more light on the screen, the better and more vivid the image will appear. There's a video around somewhere showing it off. It greatly increases battery life. In indoor/low light conditions it looks like grey scale. In sunlight, the colors really shine and look almost as if the screen lighting is on, when it's off.

I know I'm doing a horrible job at explaining it..can anyone else help out? ]]>Feb 14th 2010 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/
That's pretty much it. In short, in average light it's an LCD. In direct sunlight, it's a Kindle with zero refresh lag.

It appears that the screen can toggle automatically, but I can see where that would get frustrating. It also has a manual switch. Oh, and it also has my money.]]>Feb 14th 2010 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/it has your money ... unlike the iPad lol]]>Feb 14th 2010 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2010-01/pixel-qi-lcd-screen-could-finally-kill-paper-forever]]>Feb 15th 2010 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/

You should be able to decode 1080p locally too, but obviously it will display at 1024x600 or whatever the AR is.

Don't get me wrong, every other aspect of the Adam is pretty amazing and intuitive, but many netbook/manus owners have already discovered that 1024 x 600 just isn't a particularly useful resolution to have.]]>Feb 15th 2010 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/
Dark version looks far better. It looks like a finished product whereas the silver version looks like an engineer's functional prototype.

The protruding buttons in the silver version will result in many accidental triggering of power on/off. They also make it impossibly expensive to design a folio cover to protect the device. In both versions, the camera protrudes, which presents the same problem (of making it difficult to design a folio cover).

If those holes (for speakers and air circulation) are plastic, they should be changed to punched metal for durability. I know one drop and those holes will crack the side completely open.

In the dark version, remove the recesses on the front, so that it won't become some laborious task to clean the accumulated dust bunnies from them.

The dark version is much thinner, which makes it far more attractive. Stick with the dark one and improve it.]]>Feb 14th 2010 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/notion-ink-adam-gets-detailed-pictured-in-its-latest-form/
