More on the Notion Ink Adam

I have been watching this one.
It was delayed past June due to problems with the Tegra chip, supposedly.
I  had not seen that web page yet though!  Hopefully the tablet is closer to being finished
than the web page and it is not all hype.  I want

I've also been keeping an eye on the Adam.  I'm not completely sold on it, though, as the screen is lower resolution than the XOs (just 1024x600) although it is bigger.  I've used that rez on my wife's netbook and it's just not quite enough.  1280x720 or 1280x768 would be much more usable.

The Adam is the only announced product that has a chance at displacing my XO.  However, I've got a feeling I'll be waiting around another year or two for a similar tablet using a future, higher rez Pixel Qi screen than the Adam's.  I'd really prefer a replacement for my XO to at least match the resolution I've got now.  I'm spoiled and will never go back to a display I can't read under direct sunlight, so my upgrade options are extremely limited... for now.

Well, OLPC is effectively dead...  http://www.olpcnews.com/laptops/xo-3/new_xo-3_announced_just_a_marv.html

I'd been holding out some hope that the XO-3 might have potential if Notion Ink's plans  don't work out.  I guess the Adam really is the only forseeable replacement for an XO-1.

I've been watching this one _very_ carefully. I'm worried that it may be vaporware, but if it ever actually comes out, I'll get one. I've been waiting for that screen!
