[petar 15]

U need to wait for another 3-4 months before you see any real competition to iPad.

The current bunch simply lacks hardware to compete...!

[rajanmehta 4,056]

It seems Ipad has got competition in India even before its official entry in indian markets. Compared to Ipad pricing of Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 in Indian Markets right now,

Infibeam.com has launched two models of Ipad like products in Windows and Android Flavour at just Rs. 14,999/-. Checkout the specs below.

Another product is Olivepad priced at Sub Rs 25,000/- level but with much higher spec and phone facility. See the specs in PDF

If u have used apple

My dear Parin, just think about Mac or ibook. Are they sold in that number as the cheaper alternatives (Windows laptop/ netbook or desktops)are sold? No. It is because for most of us, the cheaper alternatives serve the purpose. That's why the superb quality of apple doesn't count, quality alone cannot carry.

Samsung Unveils Galaxy Tab Tablet

Runs Android Froyo and has a powerful 1GHz processor

Samsung has finally announced the much awaited Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 tablet at the ongoing IFA 2010 convention in Berlin, Germany. Loaded with Google's Android Froyo 2.2 operating system, this 7-inch touchscreen display bearing Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 will surely give a tough fight to the Apple iPad tablet. Capable of full HD videos playback, Galaxy Tab will also have Readers Hub app for eBook aficionados. Hassle free web browsing can be enjoyed, thanks to the Flash Player 10.1 support. Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 tablet will be available in Europe in two weeks from now and will be launched in US, Asia and Korea in the coming months. However, there's no word on the price of this tablet.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 has 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen display that supports 1024x600 WSVGA pixel resolution. It is disappointing that it doesn't carry an AMOLED screen.

Internally, Galaxy Tab houses practically the same hardware found in the Galaxy S GT-i9000 touchscreen smartphone. Just like the smartphone, the Galaxy Tab will run Android Froyo 2.2 update along with Android Market and Samsung Apps to download apps. Just like we reported earlier, the same 1.0GHz Cortex A8 Humming Bird application CPU with PowerVR SGX540 GPU remains at the heart of this tablet.

Packing 512MB RAM, Samsung will offer the Galaxy Tab in 16GB and 32GB versions. Of course, you can add up to 32GB memory card in the expandable memory slot.

For connectivity, Galaxy Tab will support quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks and tri-band 3G (HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps) networks. There's no mention of the CDMA version of Galaxy Tab that buzzed on the web two days ago. One can always use the Wi-Fi (802.11n) for faster browsing experience and use Bluetooth 3.0 for wireless connectivity with other devices/peripherals.

Galaxy Tab jabs iPad by showing off its 1.3megapixel front camera and 3 megapixel autofocus camera at the back. Also, video calling has been enabled in this Android tablet. Interactive 3D gaming as well as several other apps, Samsung has added Gyroscope sensor and Accelerometer sensors along with Geo-Magnetic sensor.

Users would be able to enjoy full HD movie playback on the 7-inch screen and also read eBooks or magazines on the go using the Readers Hub application. Samsung also packs Swype, an interactive onscreen keyboard input app and ThinkFree Suite that takes cares of your MS Office Documents.

Packing 4000mAh battery, Galaxy Tab can run a movie for up to 7 hours.

Specifications:

Network: 2.5G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE): 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz;

3G: 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz

Android EPads in India Soon: Asus

Techtree News Staff, Sep 03, 2010 1606 hrs IST

To be priced between 15,000-20,000

Like we have mentioned earlier too, 2010 does seem to be the year of the tablets. After Samsung officially announced its Galaxy Tab yesterday, Asus has revealed its plans to introduce its range of Android based EPads in India.

In an interaction with Channeltimes.com, a company official revealed that the first models of the EPads would be sold in India by January 2011. The final pricing has not been finalized yet but Alex Huang, General Manager-System Business Group, Asus India expects the EPad to be priced at around Rs. 15,000-20,000.

Though Huang did not divulge detailed specifications of the Android-based EPad, devices based at Computex 2010 were based on Windows 7 and Windows Embedded Compact 7. These EPads are reportedly based on the Intel Moorestown and Nvidia Tegra2 chipset, respectively.

While the iPad and the Galaxy Tab are yet to be launched in India, will Asus be able to pip Apple and Samsung to bring its Tablet to India first? Let's wait and watch!

Notion Ink Adam: Behind the Scenes

By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 9th 2010

Notion Ink continues to be one of the most searched for companies on SlashGear, an impressive record for a start-up firm taking on the might of Apple. Closely followed since their CES 2010 debut with the Adam tablet, aside from a few morsels of news in the intervening months the company has dropped back into a stealth mode of sorts. Now, in the first of an exclusive two-part feature, SlashGear can flesh out the Notion Ink story so far, including investor nightmares, multiple ODMs and an Android app-drawer's worth of custom Adam applications.

First, a refresher. Notion Ink first made headlines midway through December 2009 as the first tablet to be announced using Pixel Qi's innovative transflective display, but it was CES 2010 the following month where they really made a splash with their prototype. Packing NVIDIA's second-gen Tegra 250 HD-capable chipset, the Android OS and Flash compatibility, the promise was not only internet browsing and multimedia but content partnerships that would turn Adam into a digital hub.

The start-up was overwhelmed with interest, and the news shortly after Mobile World Congress in February 2010 that they'd closed funding seemed a sign that Adam was on its way to market. Since then, hardware delays and investor issues have partially derailed Notion Ink, sapping their momentum to the point where the fan mail turned into angry messages demanding solid release dates and pricing news.

As stories go, it's a telling account of the challenges – of hardware, software and investment – that new companies face trying to get fresh devices off the ground. Being blunt, Notion Ink tells us that if they hadn't locked themselves in with their first investors, Adam would already have launched in twelve countries now, complete with the promised App Competition designed to drive developers to the platform.

The first problems occurred after MWC, shortly after Notion Ink completed plans to move to Bombay. The Adam design had already been finalised, with the spec frozen prior to CES and ODM finalization in-between the two shows. Notion Ink's first choice of ODM produced a design verification testing (DVT) prototype; however, negotiations with the company failed over business disagreements between the ODM and Notion Ink's investor. Bizarrely, despite having spent four months on due-diligence working through the platform options and settling on Tegra 2 and Android, the investors first suggested shifting from NVIDIA to Intel; then, amid negotiations with the second ODM, they pushed for a switch to Windows 7 and even converting Adam from a tablet project to a netbook. According to Notion Ink, it was only media attention that helped convince the investors that Adam could provide some competition to Apple's iPad.

In the midst of the suggested hardware and software changes, the investors also pushed to axe Notion Ink's App Competition, a million-dollar promotion to encourage tablet-scale software development. The project began hemorrhaging staff, the company's 60+ strong workforce dwindling to 40, as the backers decided that Adam's potential market reach was likely limited to India alone. Amid searching for an alternate investor – and still yet to see an infusion of money from their initial partners – negotiations with the second ODM failed.

Come June, Notion Ink were touting their "Most Business Friendly" email app as a key strength of the Adam software suite, their engineers having been working on custom software since the get-go. Shortly after, the first capital arrived and the third ODM was agreed; however Notion Ink's investor proved reluctant to step out and allow alternate VCs to move in. Eventually – with would-be buyers complaining of infrequent blog updates, little in the way of public information and no fixed release dates – a new investor was secured in early June and the team once more began to grow. Prior to the investor news going public, Notion Ink's engineers completed engineering verification testing (EVT) with their new ODM and launched their alpha App Store.

Since then, the Notion Ink blog has seen 1m hits, 31 applications and the underlying OS have been finalized, and the company's unique multitasking system has shifted from idea through proof of concept to working model. Shortly prior to DVT, the Notion Ink team had grown to 85 members, and after the internal release of the Adam SDK the third ODM design hit product verification testing (PVT).

In the end, the NVIDIA Tegra 2 delay failed to have a knock-on effect on Adam solely because of their investor issues; the company tells us that, had they not been experiencing five months of delays with their investors, it would have pushed their timescale back from April to August 2010. While the company won't name either their current ODM or investor, they have told us that they've been "working with the best" and that all had invested heavily in the platform.

In the second part of our Notion Ink coverage, we'll be talking about what the company has been doing during their extra development time, how the hardware and software has been evolving since the last functional prototype we saw, and hopefully showing you screenshots of the company's custom UI. We'll also have some tidbits on Notion Ink's next-gen models, and best of all, the first public news on release dates.

Notion Ink Adam: Pricing and more

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Aug 12th 2010

In part one of our Notion Ink feature, we looked at the reasons for the delay in production of the Adam slate. Happily the company didn't rest on their laurels while investor and ODM issues were ironed out. After the cut, details of hardware and software changes – including Notion Ink's take on iTunes – plans for Adam's launch and pricing for all four versions, and what's down the line in terms of follow-up hardware.

Where Adam initially was expected to ship with WiFi b/g, that's now been replaced with WiFi b/g/n. Perhaps better still, rather than A-GPS, all versions of the slate – irrespective of wireless connectivity – will have true GPS. That's been a key complaint about the non-3G iPad, and something we're pleased to see Notion Ink address. However, a trusted source we've spoken to who recently left the company tells us that the rotating camera has also been finessed, increasing its play from 180- to 185-degrees. That might not sound like much, but it's enough to ensure that while typing on Adam as it's flat on a table, the camera can still see the user rather than just the ceiling. There's also apparently support for debugging, OS upgrades and more via a miniUSB port.

The software engineers weren't idle either. While Notion Ink originally expected their custom UI to debut on the second-generation Adam slate, the delay allowed them to complete it in time for the first model. We had hoped to show you screenshots, but the company is still working on securing patents; they can't publicly reveal them until that process is complete.

Thanks to our source, though, what we can tell you is that Adam will come with a content store called Genesis, described to us as "a high end variant on iTunes". Genesis integrates the Application Store, Content Store, Media Player, Book Indexer and "a lot more"; there'll be "millions" of ebook titles at rates said to be priced "aggressively". Meanwhile there will be a lot of preloaded applications, counterparts of many of which (from third-parties) can be found on the iPad. That will include a drawing and sketching tool that's said to be "beautiful", Notion Ink's special next-generation email system which "can be used by an organization to secure, save and transmit data using their own servers" and a unique identification number coded to each Adam which can be used to track it worldwide.

The tablet will also come with Unreal Engine Support, preloaded with a few games titles (that are yet to be launched) from NVIDIA. Meanwhile, Notion Ink has around 90 major US developers and 17 in India registered – in total around 340 accounts – looking to create software for Adam; our source says the company has not yet shared their SDK, but that the third-party devs are aware of the UI designs and multitasking concepts they'll need to incorporate.

As for that multitasking, we're told that it takes great advantage of Android's theoretical ability to run limitless numbers of apps simultaneously, held back only by CPU and memory. Rather than the "menu key long press" used to trigger the app switcher on current Android phones, Notion Ink has supposedly come up with a system that allows interaction with all apps at the same time. Meanwhile there'll be Android Market access, together with a complete office suite with a custom skin to suit tablet use, rather than the third-party office apps currently available for Android.

Four versions of Adam will be launched: each will use NVIDIA's Tegra 2, but there will be Pixel Qi and LCD models and a choice of WiFi-only or WiFi and 3G. The company has confirmed that all will come in under the cost of a basic iPad; our source tells us that the LCD version will cost $399 for the WiFi-only and $449 for the 3G model, while the Pixel Qi version will cost $449 for the WiFi-only and $498 for the 3G model. We've also heard that, if Notion Ink can clinch a last minute deal they're working on, a further $25 could be shaved from each of those figures, plus there will be special discounts for universities and students.

As for launch dates themselves, it's very much dependent on FCC certification. With manufacturing set to begin in early November, Notion Ink plan to submit Adam to the FCC either that month or early December; their testing can take anything between two weeks and twelve weeks, meaning there's a November 2010 to January 2011 window in which the tablet could be launched. If approval is secured in November, they tell us, they'll be shipping Adam by air to hit US shelves as soon as possible. If approval doesn't come through until January, however, then the retail launch will be at CES 2011, a year after the first prototype made its debut.

Although Notion Ink expect to release Adam in the US first, their Indian launch will only be 1-2 weeks later. After that, they'll look to other countries; the exact details are unknown, but given the online ordering system we're assuming that as long as there is a means to ship Adam, you'll be able to order it. Previously Notion Ink has said they'll be able to feasibly produce 100,000 units per month, should there be the demand for it.

Meanwhile, as Adam approaches the virtual shelves, Notion Ink has unsurprisingly been looking at their subsequent models. Adam 2 is expected to use NVIDIA's as-yet-unannounced Tegra 3 chipset and run Android 3.0 Gingerbread; with the SoC itself yet to be confirmed, there's only a vague launch window of Q2 to Q3 2011 when Adam 2 could debut. Google is yet to confirm requirements for Gingerbread, but Notion Ink tells us that they're doing as much as they can to ensure first-gen Adam owners can upgrade.

The eagle-eyed may have spotted the company's second sequel on the timeline, currently known as the Notion Ink Eve. Unfortunately they won't be drawn on what exactly Eve is, beyond saying it's "a completely new concept". We've heard rumors of a Notion Ink smartphone – their experience with Android and existing team of developers would put them in a strong position in terms of the software, certainly – but we'll have to wait a while before we find out for sure what Eve is.

You can find more information on Adam at its SlashGear Roots page, and follow Notion Ink's progress at the company's official blog.
