What’s not to love here? Flash, a longer battery life, and 1080p for starters. This is how Notion Ink is hoping its Android-powered Adam tablet will win your heart. Apparently they’re toying with the idea of launching two different models, one 12.9mm thin and one 11.6mm thin, which suggests different display options.
CEO Rohan Shravan told SlashGear that with the Nvidia chip and Pixel Qi screen, the Adam will boast a battery life at least twice as long as the iPad. Then there’s the 1080p video where the iPad has only 576p, and as mentioned Flash. This could be your new favorite tablet.
We can’t wait to see what actually happens, but we knew that competitors would quickly launch their own tablets and outdo the iPad’s specs.

But does it have an IPS screen as well?
Who cares if it has IPS? On a PMP with such a small screen and their predilection of use in environments with lots of ambient light, the PixelQi transflective screen in the Adam is much more prized than the screen on the iPad. Lets just go over the pro of each.
IPS:
Better colors
PixelQi:
Ability to use in direct sunlight
Minimal glare
Prevents eye strain
Low energy usage in reflective mode leading to 160 hours of operation
Keep in mind that this is only the pros of the display technology, when you actually compare the rest of the hardware and software differences between the two, you see that the Adam blows the iPad out of the water.
Well, you see that as long as you don’t have Apple blinders on and are running around screaming about how the App Store has a gagillion apps and that the iPhone OS is oh so easy to use.
