Hopping right into the tablet vacuum left by Apple’s conjectured announcement of a tablet device (What is it now, the iPad, iSlate or iGuide? I’ve lost track.), Notion Ink has announced a tablet of its own, the Adam, which will come equipped with Nvidia’s Tegra, Android, and a Pixel Qi LCD display.
Tegra and Android are current news, so let’s focus on what’s new: the Pixel Qi display. It’s 10.1-inches, is built on existing LCD technology (making it cheap to produce), and, like e-Paper screens, it is an energy miser. Unlike e-Paper, Pixel Qi displays provide color (and full-motion video). Pixel Qi tells us its screens have a fast video refresh, fully saturated color, use one-half to one-quarter the power of regular LCD screens, and can be used in bright sunlight. The combination of the Pixel Qi display and the Nvidia Tegra suggest energy consumption 90 percent less than if a conventional LCD display were used.
The touchscreen Adam is expected to ship in June of 2010, and cost about $325.
