Notion Ink Adam delayed until November - then it will be too late

Notion Ink Adam delayed until November! That is waaay too late! It will not have a chance then. The technology will already be old. Personally I think it never will be released in Europe or US anyways..


We all liked the look of Notion Ink’s Adam, with its hot-pants interface (controls in the back) and Pixel Qi screen, but if it’s not going to hit until November then there’s little chance of its survival. It’s hard out there for a tablet, and with dozens of new tablets making their debut at Computex, it may be too hard for the Adam to differentiate itself five long months from now.
