The "Adam" who has thrown the "Apple"



A Tablet PC is a laptop PC equipped with a stylus or a touchscreen expelling the notebooks out of the market.This product would strike you faster if I say that "iPad" is an example for this.Apple, Microsoft,Intel manufactures them while Apple and google make Operating systems exclusively for them. As the iPad is about to release, there's a sudden buzz about a gadget who stands as a strong threat for iPad. That's Adam tablet and this article throws light on the probability of it dominating the tablet market and about the deficiency of its funding resources being its Achilles' heel.

The iPad uses Wi-Fi or a 3G mobile data connection to browse the Internet, load and stream media, and install software.Cost seems to be high but apt for its features and its about $600.Its Battery can provide up to 10 hours of video or one month on standby.For general phone purposes, it uses minisim of any GSM carrier.Its display uses a screen of LED backlit IPS LCD and got the online services like iTunes store,App store,MobileMe, iBookstore and has got RAM of 256 MB and storage capacity upto 64GB.Safari is its only web browser and uses iOS as its operating system.Its processor races upto 1Ghz providing a blinking speed of performing tasks.Reading all this, you may hurry for a grabbing one but not anymore after you read about "Adam Tablet'

The Adam Tablet is a tablet computer developed by Bangalore-based KGP firm "Notion Ink". Not only it sounds outstanding regarding its features but also seems to be the commercial race winner as its price is stunning $139 dollars less than iPad. Well, going into the anatomy of this tablet, it uses Android operating system developed by Google and supports ubuntu also. Android slaps iOS in some issues like search,Ads,browsers and multitasking while the latter dominates in gaming and battery usage.It has also got the same features like 256 MB DDR2 RAM,storage upto 32 GB. With its Pixel-Qi display it outruns Ipad's and also equipped with a camera of 3.2 pixels while iPad's deprived of a camera.Connectivity through wifi,3g and bluetooth is also available.Coming to its processor, its advanced with dual core one with 1Ghz speed.Its memory can be expanded as it's got a external SD card slot.So, technically speaking Adam tablet defies the Apple's boast.

Growing innovative firms like "Notion Ink" usually faces the funding obstacles. Despite possessing capabilites of dominating the market, lack of capital stands as an ugly barrier to be so. Although many of the customers who have been waiting (im)patiently, the investors aren't in a rush and looks like the Adam won't go on sale till Christmas. Though it outperforms the apple's iPad in the technical race but it's vividly found to be the underdog fighting the Steve Jobs' commercial plots.
Looking into its humorous side, this "ADAM" is going to throw the "APPLE".
