So - a lot of boxes in the blog, but I'm not seeing any recent buzz around this device - it appears that more current-seeming machines have grabbed the…

spotlight.

4 Haves (at least one of which is probably fake) on here, for such an anticipated device, also bodes quite ill - even bearing in mind that this site is, relatively speaking, seething with the Apple-addled.

What's the story? Is mass availability / locally supported units (I'm not buying otherwise) actually a potential reality with this unit?

They are shipping to preorderers but not to reviewers or retailers. My guess is lack of Pixel Qi screens is their biggist problem.

Really its kind of like their stuff is in beta, until they get honeycomb and the market.

There other problem is not supporting Mastercard credit cards which is the reason aside from lack of funds that I have not bought one yet.

The hardware looks good, Seems like much more thought was put into the Adam then many other iPad competitors.

They made promises they couldn't keep and broke a lot of trust

They've had a second wave of orders, minimum. I was offered to make one.

What happened to it was simple: Android.

As much as I love the hardware the NotionInk team brought to the table, personally I'm getting kind of tired of Google's OS.

As @Dpmt said, they're waiting for Honeycomb.

I recommend scouring YouTube for videos and thoughts from purchasers.

The problem is that they are a small company and saw a larger demand then they could meet and those pixel Qi screens probably arent too plentiful.

I read on their blog that they got a shipment of broken screens, delays make people lose interest.

I wanted one for the longest time, now I could care less

I kinda still want one but I think these Hcomb 3.0 tablets are stealing the attention.

I like the fake haves on unreleased devices. It gives you a feel for the accucary of the numbers :)
