Notion Ink will be running an Apps Competition, similar to Google’s Android Developer Challenge, to encourage software designed for the Adam tablet. Details of the Notion Ink competition haven’t been finalized as yet, but the prize fund will come in at over $1m. We’ll be talking to them more about it in Barcelona next week.

Particularly of note is the battery life; Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shravan highlighted Apple’s “Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music” [emphasis ours] estimates for the iPad, and pointed out that, thanks to Tegra’s frugality, the same Apple hardware with the NVIDIA chip could run for 2-3x longer than the iPad manages. That’s before you factor in the Adam’s Pixel Qi display, which stretches out the longevity even more, and of course Tegra is capable of outputting 1080p HD video whereas the iPad maxes out at 576p/480p via its optional component cable.
