And the Mystery feature is....

[twospirits]

Crunchgear, after much smack, saying that the Adam is vaporware and that it won't amount to anything, actually ran into Rohan the CEO at CES 2011 tonight at 7:11 EST after many fans were tweeting and urging for them to meet and review the Adam.

In the interview, Rohan admitted that the mystery feature is a FM radio. A first in a tablet.

Other items discussed were..
Shipping is currently on track
Support will be global for now,
The next round of orders for non-Pixel Qi displays are on, but
they are waiting for Pixel Qi to provide more displays before starting round two orders.

thanks i watched that interview , wish they would re-open the non Pixel Qi because there is plenty of people who are not after that version myself being one.

As much as my inner "must get the latest gadget at whatever cost to my sanity" soul feels at the moment, I am forcing my self to wait just a bit longer. Rohan has expressed previously that more flash memory versions will come down the line. Hoping for a 32 GB Flash version or dare I say it, a 64GB SSD version.

Of course we can always wait for the Adam 2

1.5 GB ram,
5-8 megapixel camera,
eye and facial recognition,
NFC,
Wireless Charging,
32 GB Flash or 64GB SSD
true 3G,
ICREA (Googles' Ice Cream),
Kickstand (that doubles as the docking port),

hey one can dream, right.


in the meantime here is another video, courtesy of Charbax.
