Notion Ink Adam II offers an official peek at specs
We finally get to hear some details on the Notion Ink Adam II, after almost a year since the manufacturer began shipping out its first slate. The Bangalore based company has partnered with Texas Instruments, who will provide hardware essentials to the second generation of this slate.
Word from the company has revealed some significant details about what technology buffs can expect from the upcoming device. As a result of the new association, the second generation Adam will be embedded with an OMAP44xx processor as well as other components from Texas Instruments that include Phoenix Audio Power Amplifiers, Wi-Link 7.0 and more.
“Adam II will release the world’s first modular based software architecture which will further expand the scope of application development and use nearly every single hardware feature in a ‘user customizable’ application. Drag and drop features will enable easy application modification and open source module will further expand the use cases and tablet deployment. Node operations like in Blender, and ‘Application Authoring Tools’ are primarily aimed at non-programmers for composing applications, games and use-case flows in a drag-and-drop fashion, utilizing visual editors and behavior-based logic system,” posted Rohan Shravan, founder of Notion Ink on the official blog.
Additionally, the company founder has conveyed that the slab will operate on the latest version of Android, the Ice Cream Sandwich OS. Designed to show off multi-core architecture, the OMAP44xx chips are capable of connecting the main CPUs with various features like programmable accelerators, hardware composition engines and so on. This will also be supported by a PowerVR SGX5xx GPU manufactured by Imagination Technologies.
Still in the developmental phase, there is no word on the Notion Ink Adam II release date and price.
