Notion Ink's Adam Tablet Official Website Released

Notion Ink Adam has it's own brand new webpage at http://www.notionink.com/. And it seems to be a giant improvement over their first teaser site which was all in Flash – this one's layed out NICE and everyone can see it. On the front page there it is, the Adam, with tags "Developers, About, Blog, and Contact" along the top and "Design, Software, Genesis, and Tech Specs" along the bottom. Take a look at the entire webpage spread out before your eyes and imagine the pad right there, right in your hands, all awesome, all totally awesome.

Inside the Design Tab you'll find the following:

The Philosophy

It is only the second time since beginning, that math and instinct have come together to create, Adam.

There are three schools of design. The organic – which mimics shapes from nature. The Retro – which tries to modernize familiar ideas of the past. And then there's us – "The Geometric". We firmly believe that everything should flow in perfect arithmetic harmony, where all the lines and curves follow the laws of the Golden Rule.

The Curve

Form meets function with the unique curve that defines the Adam.

There is always one standout factor that defines the personality of that product and for the Adam it is the cylindrical curvature that sets it apart. It provides an easy and ergonomic way to hold it, distributing the weight evenly, both in landscape or portrait modes. It's a natural viewing angle, due to it's 3 Degrees of elevation. The cylinder provides great storage for easily replaceable batteries, perfect stereo speaker location as well as the shaft for the swivel camera.

The Material

It is as strong as it gets and the texture rough enough, that it feels alive

The skeleton of Adam is made of aircraft-worthy magnesium and aluminium alloys making it light yet strong. The glass will soften the sharp and intensive lights for you and the textured surface on plastics adds life. You will not see perfection, because it is the first in it's species, but you will see the potential, to become the ruling one.

The Camera

It had to be swivel in its design, but the only problem was, where should it be?

We got it placed right, but only after careful research, a lot of experimentation and deconstruction. Now you can hold the Adam comfortably at any angle for your video chats, photos, live notes or even for your favourite Augmented reality App

Then, in Software you'll find this video:

In Genesis you'll find another very similar video that instead just gives you this sort of logo thang:
