Notionink's Adam (Android tablet) Demo Video

Tapping a panel to gain focus seems like the most asinine UI decision of all time. Even in the video you could see the user trying to use a panel before tapping it. Just a terrible flow-breaker. Otherwise, everything looks ok. Once actual reviews come out, I think they will sell quite a few of these.

The "panel" concept reminds me of Twitter for iPad (which I really enjoy), just applied to the entire OS -- a sort of simplified implementation of 10/GUI (http://10gui.com/). It could definitely be more polished, but I'm excited for what this will bring in the future.

I was thinking on buying one of this, but it seems it is not ready yet.

I love tablets because of the portrait mode. It is way easier to read on portrait(the reason newspapers are multicolums). How is that possible that they make a tablet and design the UI to be landscape?

You won't need tap to focus on portrait mode. IMHO a bad idea designing it like a netbook. I can't understand it.

Is that Android with Hardware Acceleration? It's incredibly smooth animation for an Android.

The UI seems .. congested and too busy.

It seems unnecessary to me to have all your apps running simultaneously, but it does look nice.
