I stink at making videos, but I do add the soft sell on things I like - music, movies and TV shows. My new mods over in Slatedroid are now titled after songs I like. :)
The worst angle is in landscape, when you tilt it down. the screen is solarized, similar to what happens on a netbook screen.
The "Eden" UI is basically Froyo (2.2) with alterations. It's essentially a different launcher (like a different "Explorer", in the Windows world). But under-the-hood it's Android 2.2.
And no Windows, that's correct. It has an ARM processor which Windows does not support yet. However, Linux will run on it and there is development going on in that area.
Getting my first tablet in a few days, a Viewsonic G Tablet. Does the Notion Ink ROM a replace the OS (Android 2.2) it comes with? I'm afrad I don't know much about tablets. I'm also guessing I'm not going to be able to install Windows on the thing.
@gigantibyte : yes, it's an alternate firmware. You can bounce back and forth between stock and the Adam mod, if you want to. They have their pros and cons. There are also more alternate firmware mods on XDA.
The GTablet is a nice low cost alternative to devices like the Xoom. My only complaint is the screen angles, but some people don't care much about that.
Definitely no Windows (ARM processor, which Windows does not support yet). But Ubuntu development is going on.
@roebeet Thanks for your reply. With it and more research I have a better understanding of the device. I was kinda hoping for netbook without the keyboard, but it's more like a cell phone with a large screen minus the phone. It should serve my purposes as a glorified eReader. Are the screen angles worse in landscape or portrait mode (assuming it has portrait mode...)?
Just make sure you flash back to stock, if you plan to return it. Check the xda site for the location of the stock ROM's. You don't want the next guy to be scratching his head as to why his GTablet says "Adam" on it. :)
I just got one of these to test it out but I dont want to keep it. can anyone tell me if install these custom roms, will I still be able to return it within the 30 day period after purchase?
I bought it from Sears although I dont think that makes any difference.
The best review of Notion Ink Adam so far ^^

45 seconds is about right, even on stock GTAB or other mods.
cnn test was a Flash test.
As for music vs vocal cords, music always wins. Or maybe I have a heavy accent or a speech impediment.... :)

Nice video. Music was a little distracting though and forced me to fast forward at times.

@dpat09 would have appreciated if you had made use of your vocal cords to give your views instead of music. Nevertheless, thanks for your feedback
