I may have got that wrong, but my impression from the year's various reports was that with the backlight on it was OK, but not as good as the better LCD displays. Not such a good viewing angle, not as much black in the contrast, poorer colour accuracy, etc. I can't find any link that suggests it's as good as an IPS display indoors.
Here's one link though from a user of the display in which the transmissive mode is compared with the original screen on his Samsung netbook.

The picture quality indoors is clearly worse than with my original screen. ... And by picture quality I particularly meant contrast ratio, and I was referring to transmissive mode only. The black of my original display was a lot darker than the black the transmissive mode of the Pixel Qi screen offers.

I have the same netbook, and the original Samsung screen is OK but not great.
I'm looking forward to some in depth reviews of the Adam once we get to see the production model, of course, and I'll be as pleased as anyone if the screens do hold up indoors as well as out.
