Notion Ink Adam Tablet

It has been ages since the iPad launched and there have been lot of  tablets launched since then, but none of them even came close to competing from both usability and price stand point of the iPad. Nook Color (from B&N) was priced well and still holds promise, but it still needs fully unlock its potential as a tablet. One of the upcoming tablet that has kept some hardcore Android fans engaged and waiting eagerly for its release is the NotionInk Adam tablet. The tablet with all its features and underlying power of Android OS seems to be a winning combination. The design and development is managed by the new startup company definitely holds promise and is likely to be the hit of 2011.

I tested this from my 3GS, by calling the Desktop over WiFi and the connection was quite impressive and useful. I definitely look forward to trying this in real-time and real-life scenarios.

China tightens hold on rare earth exports, markets soar

China has been clearly getting a stronghold in the financial and technology sectors. This move from China seems to be a clear threat to monopolize the market and more importantly shift the balance in world power when it comes to technology and its advances. Let us see if there is going to be any kind of collective action this time for this deliberate move from China. We have gradually moved to "Made in China" and looks like it is heading to "Made only in China" or "Approved by China"
