Notion Ink Adam Pre-order Info

*Note*: Mastercard and Discover are currently not being accepted!

This is my personal explanation for the shipping charge!

$50 Shipping

The Adam isn't going to be shipping from your local Amazing Warehouse. It is probably coming from half way across the world. Add the weight of the various elements (manual, charger and packaging) and it can all add up. DHL isn't cheap either!

Service Unavailable

The server is under HEAVY load from the many many people who are trying to order. Please be patient! US/EU server will be up soon.

01:29 Homepage updated with new link to pre-order! EVERYBODY can pre-order!

01:20 The site seems to be under HEAVY load and going up and down with 503 errors/Service Unavailable messages.

01:15 Users are now reporting Open Access to the Notion Ink Adam Pre-order page. Everybody can order.

01:07 people are now reporting that the Jan 9th delivery is no longer available and they are seeing 6 - 8 weeks.

01:05:People who were sent early pre-order invites have indeed been able to pre-order their Adams, many of them have confirmed their orders on the Notion Ink Blog.

01:00 Early orders started at around 00:00 GMT. It seems 9:30 PST (06:00 GMT~, i think) is when pre-orders will begin for the general public. It seems there has been a delay of 6 hours to the schedule.

Notion Ink Adam reveal Image has hidden Messages

The first hidden message in the image properties is:

“Oh you’ve reached here! So there is a small information for you. I am coming soon, with a Kernel better than out there! ”

it seems that the Adam will come with Gingerbread (Android 2.3).

The second message:

“All around me you see a strip, which is easily replaceable. So you can make me look white or ferrari red!”

Sounds like you are going to be able to easily change the colour of your Adam!

The third message read:

Steps coming your way! Stay Tuned! For first 6 hours, the first one will get access and then we all!

I think what means by the first ones is those either in the family or those that took part in the logo competition.

All credit to the many people on the Notion Ink forum who found these messages.
