In order to compete with the Gorilla they REALLY need to provide better features and/or pricepoint.

We'll see when the reviews come out.

I look forward to somebody bringing out a product that makes Apple increase it's slow-moving feature-add pace.]]>Aug 12th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/Aug 12th 2010 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/

I think the title of this article should be changed...

iPad Wifi only = $499
Adam Wifi only = $399

They're beating it by $100.... no $1... and also:

iPad 3G+Wifi = $629
Adam 3G+Wifi = $449

Add in the Pixel Qi screen and it's $499 for the full monty. I think the pricing is killer-awesome.]]>Aug 12th 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/To tell you the truth, I'd buy it only because it has Pixel Qi.

It's too bad Android doesn't support higher than 480X800, unless this is shipping with Android 3.0, which -given the Tegra 2 core- is highly likely, according to NVIDIA's CEO saying Tegra 2 will debut with Android 3.0]]>Aug 12th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/notion-ink-adam-priced-at-498-lives-up-to-promise-of-being-bel/
