As a commenter at Android Police stated, if it's not a scam, they're doing their best to make it look like one. Or as CrunchGear put it:

What a mess the pre order has become, I was ready to order, but too many unanswered questions - including why are they charging your card at order instead of on the shipping date. Why would anyone want to "loan" a company $600 dollars for 2 months before the product is yours. And where is the product, no pictures no videos, not even any solid info on what you are ordering. I waited a year, I guess I'll wait until I see a real product.

Oh, and don't forget about the "Exo PC" from Exo (Canadian company). http://www.exopc.com I know, it's a shameless plug, but it's also another option over the Adam because it uses Windows 7. |

On the Notion Ink forums, Rohan (the guy who made the Adam) has specifically answered just about everyone's questions regarding whether or not the Adam is real or "vaporware". He's aware of what's going on, but you have to understand it from his perspective: he's an IT engineering guy entering the business world with a product he made to rival some of the biggest electronics companies in the world. Rohan and Notion Ink's business sense is questionable because they've never done anything like this before.
Remember, they're a small start-up company like a certain other company we are all familiar with and they are playing this by ear until significant business interest picks up and not just interest from the forum fans and "must have it now" tech lovers. |

I was hoping to get an Adam as a gift for my husband. So I'm back to either convincing him he needs an eDGe or waiting to see what RIM's Playbook holds in store. I'm kinda bummed about the Adam but completely out of love with it now.

lol! It's not even on sale yet, nor has it been given to the media to look at and play with. Give it some time to actually BUILD a user-base and see how it performs rather than ride the "hype-roller coaster". I haven't given up on the Adam completely. If it has staying strength by the end of January, then I will most-likely purchase one.

If the credit card is charged then NI sold something.
Like anything in the tech business, though, give it a year and the Adam will begin to look dated as newer technology is released and promised. I guess I got the Edge for mostly utilitarian purposes. At least that keeps me from feeling like I got left with yesterday's technology. |
