Notion Ink has released demo video of their Adam Android tablet in action, with the company’s innovative Eden UI and multitasking panel engine getting a real-life workout rather than simple video renders. Coaxed into a run-through by Android Police, the demo shows Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shravan moving through the tablet’s custom apps – including the ereader, “Canvas” paint app and more – together with its USB connectivity.

Those USB ports can be used for thumb-drives or for plugging in peripherals; in this demo, a wireless mouse. However they will also work with keyboards and other external devices like drives. The panel interface is a departure for an Android-based tablet, showing three apps at a time that can be swiped left and right or rearranged at will; there’s also the stacked view in the screenshot above.
As for performance, there’s some lag in moving between the panels, but pinch-zooming generally looks smooth and the various multitasking control bars and other custom features seem to work well. We’ll obviously have to spend hands-on time with Adam ourselves to see if it lives up to the promise, but we’re feeling particularly excited about what early January will bring.

fyi
fyi
The Adam does appear to offer a unique UI that others do not, as well as a unique exterior design for easy of holding.
I am excited by this product, however, it is last year’s news. With CES only a handful of weeks away, we may see slates that blow the Adam out of the water.
