[Q] NotionInk Adam info pls

With great pleasure i read today that Notion Ink Adam tablet is available for preorder. i want to ask some questions
1. What operating system it will running? Rumours refer Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) is the operating system
2. If the above is true will it support upgrade to Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) when it will be ready?May be is running a custom version of Android or stock one?
3. About 3G does it cover GSM 900,1800 and UMTS 2100?
4. Will google market be available?

The tablet hasn't even passed the FCC. As of now, it doesn't even exist in a form available for consumers. The site also allows you to provide your billing info without providing a shipping address, which should set off a big red scam alert flag in your head.

Thanks for the info my friend.I didnt know that it did not passed FCC.Really now i wonder why they start taking money from people.That's stupid ,not to say more bad words.
I think i must look for alternatives.
Many people like me, who don't search for info before buying something, are easy to get fraud.

Not a scam

I beg to differ with you guys. Its genuine and The pixel Q version of the tabs are already sold out and they showcased this device in CES much before you have had any clues about Galaxy tab or any other for that matter. Between I have visited their office (Bangalore, India) personally 2 days back.
They have launched a developer section too. And if you talk technically then they have managed to solve android app's inability to handle large screens.

Here's the original report, and even though the "billing info without shipping info" has been fixed, it still doesn't change the fact that it hasn't even passed the FCC. I think I'd entrust my money with an actual well-known manufacturer with a product that I can see and touch before I buy.

Why is it that the pessimist is always the first to respond. Whatever. On the FCC issue, I vaguely remember that they did something so that you can't find it but I can't remember where I found that.

Well, when you're dealing with money for a luxury product that has several alternatives it's okay to be pessimistic. Better safe than sorry in a situation like this, no?

Here, have some valuable information:
"We have done something with our FCC application and it will be little difficult for you to find us!"
to answer your questions:
1. It will most likely run on 2.2 at first but "Eden is extremely compatible with 2.3" this implies that they are working on it.
2."This was a big step in converting your Android to a tablet version OS (and one of the updates coming in 3.0)" I'm not sure what this implies, but it might mean we will get 3.0
3.I have no idea, the whole 3g thing is a little confusing
4."Will it support the Google Market place? Or do you have your own market place/App Store that you are developing?
-We will have our own market place."
however, it probably won't take long for the devs to get the market on it.

yeah I totally agree on the fact that it is okay to be pessimistic, but most of what you heard that makes the adam sound shady came from one series of articles on android police. I'm not sure, but I bet that if they tried they could make any company sound shady. Anyway, if Notion ink sounds shady, it's not really their fault, they are extremely inexperienced. It is a company run by 20-something year olds with no business experience straight out of college. They're bound to make some mistakes.

[Q] why can't VS give us a...

Why cant Viewsonic give us a direct link to the Android market? I called myself looking for an answer in the forum but haven't seen it. Am I missing something? Is it a contractual thing? What gives?

Google is only allowing "phones" access to the market......except for the Galaxy S Tablet of course

Google only lets apps with cellular service to have the Market. Hopefully will change with Honeycomb.

Could that be why the Wifi-Only Galaxy Tab was delayed? Conflicts with Google about the market?

So, to make the market work we are tricking it into thinking we are a phone....now that is a trip.

The restriction that Google has is mainly legal/contractual, and not technical. I think that the public reason for it is that Google said that Froyo was not for tablets. Personally, I haven't understood their rationale for, basically trying to shoot their own child (Android) in the foot, esp. in favor of Chrome, and esp. after Apple came out with ipad ...

[Q] noob question regarding Marketplace

I have an Android phone and am not a fan of having to go to the Marketplace to download software.
Is there a Windows marketplace equivalent of the andriod App Planet?
I'm considering purchasing a Windows phone.
Thanks,
Craig

Are you asking if theres a site that will give you access to all the paid apps for free?
If so, NO THERE ISN'T, open your wallet and help the devs, or stick to the free apps in the marketplace.

No, I wasn't asking for free stolen apps
I know that independent developers need to be supported.
I just hate the fact that I have to go to one central place for purchasing that's all.

So far there's no such a place unless you try and Google it whether it's Android or Wp7 or IOS

So what your saying is that you'd rather purchase from multiple places rather than 1?

Let's see...
There's the Marketplace website.
There's the Marketplace hub on the phone.
* There are a couple of ways to get to it, too.
There's the bing search feature on the phone, which can find Marketplace apps.
There's the Marketplace on the Zune software.
If that's not enough options for you, then I'm going to have a reallllly hard time buying the argument that the special feature you're looking for isn't "let me get the apps without paying". Asking for help with pirating stuff is strictly against the XDA-Devs rules. If you're honestly not looking for that, what *are* you looking for?

Kies Software

Hi, does anyone know a link or where to download the Kies software? I've tried the US, UK and Australian Samsung Support pages download links and the link is dead and has been for the last 2 days. Samsung support was totally clueless and could not give me a direct link when I tried them. I'm thinking that maybe it's possible to just torrent it if I could find it, but I was hoping maybe someone here would know. My experience with Samsung so far is not getting off to a very good start.

even google can find it with ease... but i'm on a good mood... sooo here... a spoonful of samsung kies.... one of the lamest program i have ever use... hehehe....
http://www.samsung.com/my/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP

Thanks, I had googled it, but it kept bringing up old versions of the program. Little did I know (I should have been able to figure it out) that when one downloads the old version it auto-updates to the newest version. That being said, I thought iTUnes was bloated and slow, yet compared to Kies it's great. It's also insane that a company the size of Samsung can't keep links up to date and working on a program that their literature tells you to download. It's this type of ineptitude compared to the generally easy Apple experience that has relegated Android tablets to being used only by uber geeks for the most part. Heck, all Amazon had to do with the Fire was make it somewhat user friendly and it outsold all other Android tablets combined in one quarter.

Hopeless Tablet!! Curtis Klu

I have bought two generic tablets for my young children. I have a samsung gal tab2 for myself. I am new to android world due to how ever it was out of box was good enough for me. I always bought what i need out of my android products. The two purchased tablets are Curtis Klu lt7052. My children are very young hence the cheap tablets. They are actually not to bad for the dollar. Only problem i am having is out of the box there was no google play store. Which i am most comfortable around and 4 shared. I finally was able to find an gplay.apx file i could load. I was able to get the app to work, well kinda; it will launch but not download. I have not been able to download anything. Soon as i try to downloadl i have an error unfortunately, google play store has stopped. I can clear data and try again to only end up with the same result. So i am looking what i need to do to make this work. I have never successfully rooted anything matter of speaking i made a great boat anchor once with a phone! So any knowledge on what i am doing wrong please tell. The tablets are running ICS 4.0. Google Framework is 4.0 as well atleast that is what i can tell by checking the back ground app.
