“iPad killer around”
– Please! Wake up, you are still dreaming!
“Notion Ink people should look at the development of Entourage eDGe.”
– Notion Ink should look up what After Sales Services and Support means.
“You’ve got a super tablet”
– What they have is nothing but the mere illusion of a Super Tablet.
Seriously! Who would buy a tablet from Notion Ink after tha fiasco of the 1st one. We bought the 1st ADAM, updateswre non existant, no support and feedback. We were sold some hardware and basicaly told “Just do what you can to make your shit work coz it we will do nothing about it other than count the money we got from you”!
In the hand of some other company like (HP, Asus, Samsung, Apple, IBM, Acer, MS) the tablet would have had at least a decent launch in support and updates. But Notion Ink was able to turn a Silver into Shit with no effort at all.
ReplySuper tablet.I’m seriously impressed. What I miss is a stronger PR. You’ve got a super tablet and the world need to know that. Only using internet to get more publicity doesn’t work. Is not enough.
Notion Ink people should look at the development of Entourage eDGe. They had a very interesting tablet, but there publicity was crap.
The Notion Ink Adam is a tablet what needs and deserves good publicity. Let the public know there is a serious iPad killer around.
I can’t wait for the Adam 2.
ReplyIt was VERY poorly managed…what every you would call it.

KHANNNNN!
ReplyI feel for you. I was among the few who wanted this tablet to shine in the market because it was an “Indianized” product, or so I thought. I remember those days when I was thrilled to pieces while reading the NI blog. Sigh!
I have sent out emails to them, but NI’s customer support is laughable — nonexistent. False promises, and months of waiting for the device to arrive, is unacceptable.
Nice summary; I hope the folks at Notion Ink notices this, and hopefully push the $64 refund to your account.
ReplyThank you but the $64 is to be recovered from the CRA. I am not going to waste any more of my time with Notion Ink. If I had worked for minimum wage every hour I spent troubleshooting that tablet and emailing support I could have bought a Galaxy Tab! Or a Toshiba Transformer, or iPad2…not that I would have bought an iPad2, but I “could” have.
ReplyOK, at least get the facts correct. ONE person developed a website to get their money back, the earphone complaint was an early problem that was isolated–not everyone had the problem, and only one or two countries had customs duties issues…..
That said, here’s one early adopter and loyal customer speaking out….
ReplyRight. Notion Ink Adam tablet is filled with mixed bag of reviews. That was just ONE among the MANY dissatisfied user.
You can find users complaining about Notion Ink Adam elsewhere on the Internet. I don’t want to post every YouTube video, forum thread, etc. as that would turn this post into nothing but hate against me.
I have stated nothing but generalized facts here.
ReplyI posted my 0.02 but was filtered.
You can see my whole nightmearish experence with Notion Ink on my website.
Never again will I buy from such a company!!!

I hope someone from Notion Ink looks into your website — that’s the least they can do. 🙂
ReplyThank you for publishing my first post. I’m sure they are well aware of my site 😛 Everyone knows the squeaky wheel gets the grease and I was squeaking the loudest…or at least the most often.
