Notion Ink's, Adam tablet shows off its app on its blog


We've been waiting for the Notion Ink logo to debut, but it seems like it's run into a little problem. Apparently, some other company's registration page bears a very similar logo, and where the creator of the winning Notion Ink logo could not have seen this, the similarities are enough to give it a second thought.

Other details have been revealed about some of the Android-powered applications that will ship with the Adam, including GPS navigation software, email application, and file manager.

Little was said about the GPS navigation software. We know it will differ from the GPS navigation features baked into Android, but we're told little else. What we do know is that the GPS software has recently entered beta status and already speaks in 43 languages. Pretty impressive for beta, no? We can expect to see more languages added later on, hopefully.

The email application, Mail'd, will come with many features you're already used to seeing, and more. Some of these features include missing attachments, offline mode, and unsend an email. It's said that even more features will hit Mail'd come January, and you can expect to see things like how big an attachment within an email can be, email expiration times, and fixing the time of delivery of an email while in offline mode.

Another highlighted application is Sniffer, which is said to be an, "extremely fast and handy File Browser". This isn't the final version of the application, but the preview definitely showcases the panel feature that the Adam will boast, and it's looking pretty good.

The blog also gives some details concerning the Adam's screen, and some of the issues they've come across with the particular matte finish of the screen. These matte screens show degradation and displacement of green pixels, and the Notion Ink team have put forth major efforts to overcome this issue. We're told that we won't be disappointed. We hope not, especially since we've been waiting for some time now.
