Notion Ink renders show Adam II, accessories and EVE smartphone

Notion Ink‘s been teasing the Adam II for well over a year now, and while the first generation left us cold, we’re curious to see what the second attempt brings to the table. A series of renders recently surfaced that allegedly show the Android tablet, its accessories / packaging and a companion smartphone concept named EVE. It’s unclear if the images — which have since been pulled — are legitimate, but the design appears to match previous leaks. The accessories include a collapsible docking station, USB charger, stylus and dual-tone leather carrying case. What’s most intriguing, however, is the EVE smartphone which also runs Android and features a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen along with a secondary display mounted on its spine, just like the Adam II. Check out the gallery below for the complete set of pictures.

Notion Ink Adam II teased at India’s National Technology Awards (updated)

Notion Ink Adam II teased at India's National Technology Awards, reportedly priced at $218

Remember the Notion Ink Adam? We’ll forgive you if you don’t — the device fell a bit short of expectations, and news of its successor has been scarce. Save for a few teasing tweets, Notion Ink has kept the project pretty close to its chest. That changed this weekend, however, when the tablet’s price and specifications were announced at India’s National Technology Awards. According to the press release (after the break) and a pamphlet reportedly given to attendees, the Adam II will sell for 12,000 Indian Rupees (about $217) later this year, packing in a 1.5GHz Dual-Core ARM Cortex CPU, twin 2-megapixel cameras, 1GB RAM and up to 10 hours of battery life.

The tablet also boasts a secondary screen, albeit a small one: a monochrome ticker that displays Android notifications on the Adam’s book-like spine. HDMI, headphone and micro-USB ports crowd the device’s adjacent edges, which wrap around a 10.1-inch 1,280 x 800 IPS display — a concession that was apparently made to increase longevity. Local and international availability was sadly left out of the announcements, but it’s nice to finally see this project gain some steam.

Update: Notion Ink has reached out to let us know that the 12,000 rupee price cited in the PR is incorrect. We’ve asked the company to clarify the pricing and will let you know if we hear back.

Notion Ink’s Adam II greets Twitter with blurry eyes

Notion Ink's Adam II greets Twitter with blurry eyes

Notion Ink’s first generation Adam tablet was an undoubtedly intriguing, but fairly flawed device. But while the company offered the promise of fixing up some of those concerns with gen two, we haven’t heard all that much about the device since we saw a profile pic much earlier this year. Ever the tease, the company’s site is offering up a little more of the device. All that you’re getting this time out is a blurry corner and a chipper “Hello world” greeting. More soon. We hope.
