India has emerged as global IT hub but new ideas, innovation and products for global market are yet to be seen, while I was keen in knowing what is happening in India specially on the innovation side,  I came across this company called Notion Ink. A company started by young kid who had a great vision. NotionInk had made big headlines across the global market. 

They have designed a tablet which will directly compete with tablets like IPAD or Galaxy from Samsung, have more rich features like dual-core Cortex A9 processor and NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 graphics processor. Built-in 8GB of flash storage, a microSD slot, as well as three USB slots (2x full-size USB port and 1x mini-USB), HDMI, and a swiveling 3.2 megapixel camera. I have not yet seen any netbook or tablet in that price range providing HDMI and this could be big selling point for them.

 Product had some setbacks in between and launch had been postponed couple of times but again market timings are a big bet in today’s economy and sometimes desire to be perfect could spoil all the good work.

 Pre-orders on the Adam started last week, but it appeared team was still working on some issues and delivery is committed during January 2011. Company has already sold out Pixel Qi LCD versions of tablet which is definitely boost to their confidence.

I hope these guys are not just targeting Indian market, as the shipping fee from India for the tablet was $50 which is kind of high. These guys might need to figure out how some of the online retailers from Hong Kong have managed to send products to US for less than $10.

I hope this tablet is a big success and if it does then this could trigger another big opportunity of manufacturing and assembling electronic products in India.
