Q:Has the Adam been submitted to the FCC?
A: On the 24th Nov 2010 the FCC received an application from Notion Ink but it is not clear for what however it is believed to be for the Adam. (Rohan hints in Weekend Special X that previous observations mentioned in my FCC related blog post by me/others on the blog are correct!)
Q:will the mail program support PGP encryption?
A: Yes
Q:Will the Adam support CPU Hot Plug?
A:Yes

Q: Will the Adam Support Flash?
A: Yes - it will come bundled with Flash and support Adobe AIR
Q: Will the screen be Gloss or Matte?
A: Matte
Q: Will the Adam have an Active Digitizer?
A: At this point in time it does not seem to be the case, however from Rohans Blog, Which shows a canvas done by hand, Which seems to be very accurate.
Q:Will there be a trackpad at the back?
A: This answer is a rumour and not confirmed by Rohan, however it seems the design of a trackpad at the back has already been patented and may not be included. (requires further clarification from Rohan).
UPDATE: The Adam will ship with a rear trackpad however it will not be activated initally due to performance concerns (source: Rohan Shravan interview on Androidheadlines.com)
Q:What is the Bonus Mystery Feature?
A: Rohan has given strong hints that this will be something to do with Nikola Tesla and 3d Interfaces. see: Weekend Special X
Q:Will the Bezel stay as it is now? Why has it changed?
A: Yes - As explained in an earlier blog post
"the reason of still having it (bezel) is the USBs and other I/O peripherals. We have spent a lot of resources and have more than 9 patents on the same (to reduce it)! But the fabs and vendors need to upgrade to accomplish what we want(essentially Adam 2)"
Q:How many keyboard types will there be?
A: There will be 4 virtual keyboard variants.
Q: Does Rohan Shravan sleep?

I do, when there are no comments!
Q:Why are there no Indian Applicants in EAP1?
A: As Rohan Explains
I would appreciate it if the community could help me improve and add to this."EAP was multi pronged test for us. Production Validation, Logistics (handling shipments, etc. for so many countries), test of the support system, work on the feedback before it reaches masses (ones which we can quickly fix) and sending out messages to all that we have arrived!"
I don't think you should list Dec 9 as pre-order date. That is only a guess.

ReplyDeleteMight be a reason why he removed the Tweet, so I guess it's not confirmed and just a roumor.
ReplyDeleteAnd have the prices been confirmed to?
Well people can consider the evidence themselves. I've put it up there and yes, Rohan has mentioned the prices in his blog.
ReplyDeleteThe FCC request was not submitted on Nov 24, it was received on that day. Look again on the FCC website, Notion Ink is listed under "Grantee" and "dare received" means "date grant received".
ReplyDeleteWe still don't know what was that for, it may have been for the charger.
@ Deusdies Thank you, I will correct that.
ReplyDeleteCan you post the dimensions -- all the dimensions? One thing I'm confused about is how thick the adam is, especially, how thick is it at the "curve" part as compared with how thick it is at the flat part.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks for the great effort.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this page should be updated now with the latest FCC stats and shipping dates
