Notion Ink Adam: The next iPad killer?

Take a quick look at this video. You’ll notice a fairly ergonomic tablet with a multi-touch capacitive screen and a camera that rotates 180 degrees to take pictures of you or of someone else! Not only that, the screen uses far less power (280mW vs. 2.4-2.8W now), increasing battery life and it even supports Flash since it runs on Android. It has 3 USB ports, headphones, and even HDMI out! The screen even adjusts to sunlight, making the screen monochrome so that it is easy to read no matter what light conditions are available. Battery gives 24 hours with Wi-Fi on, 10 hours if you are outputting to an HD TV which is extremely impressive. In comes Notion Ink! It has nearly everything the iPad doesn’t have, except for that exterior sexy sleek look, but it is the performance that counts!
Hit the bump for a video, spec sheets and links on the Adam disassembled.
One thing to note, the touchpad on the back of the tablet is supposed to be used for finer, more precise “clicking” on hyperlinks or objects rather than pulling an FFS or Fat-Finger Syndrome (I have some long fingers and I tend to mash keys a lot). It is slated to come out in 3Q2010 and if it enters at the same or less price point as the iPad, I will be sure to pick this up.
