Notion Ink Adam Update 2 comments
Over the weekend the Notion Ink blog had some more details of the Adam Pixel Qi tablet. There are also a few production model photos.
Much of the new info relates to multitasking and memory optimization. On the Adam you will be able to run an application in a full screen mode or in a smaller window or panel. When in full-screen mode you have access to more components and features of the app. When the application is run in a panel, the Adam “decides which component (of an application) to call, what to load, when to connect, what to read from memory and when to refresh.”
You can have an infinite number of panels open at once, but only three at a time are active. The rest are in a light sleep. You can switch between application panels at any time, making them active — but you are limited to three active panels at one time.
This system results in better memory optimization and speed. Apps from the Android Market that are designed for mobile devices can also be run in these panels without having to enlarge them. It sounds as if Notion Ink may be able to use this feature to access the Android Market. Many other Android tablets cannot at the moment because the current version of Android is not optimized for tablets according to Google.
There is also a video of the Adam running a LongBox comic store app:
