Notion Ink Adam pre-orders in December - Page 3

The Pixel QI option is already sold out on the pre-orders. That went fast. Either they have a very limited supply of Pixel QI screens or they've gotten a lot of people ordering.

I think most people that wanted an Adam wanted one because of the PixelQi screen...

I'm surprised that they raised the price on the Pixel Qi screen. This was the original pricing that they announced in November:

Adam Tablet with LCD and WiFi – $399
Adam Tablet with LCD and 3G + WiFi – $449
Adam Tablet with Pixel Qi display and WiFi – $449
Adam Tablet with Pixel Qi and 3G + WiFi – $498

Then they changed it to:

LCD screen,WiFi — $375
LCD screen, WiFi, 3G — $425
Pixel Qi Screen, WiFi –$499
Pixel Qi Screen, WiFi, 3G — $549

What's up with that? They brought down the price of the LCD versions only to drive up the price of the Pixel Qi versions. I wasn't so happy because I wanted to get the $498 version which is now priced at $51 more and another $50 shipping in top of that with ridiculous cancellation and return policies plus no word on warranty. I am one of those who got the email for pre-ordering it after the hulabaloo on the ordering process, their server going down and no launch of a video to introduce the actual Adam.

I realized I'm afraid to pluck down $600 on this startup plus I will not get it before Christmas day. So I will wait until they become available in the store shelves or Amazon.com and deal with an established American retailer rather than direct from the new Indian company.

The Pixel Qi screen seems to be very hard to get into large scale productions. I remember when Maker Shed started to sell them and ran out instantly. I wonder if Mary Lou Jepsen will be able to keep up with the demand.

So far it's been a lot of talk and very few devices implementing the QI display.
