Notion Ink has been showing off daily videos of the Adam tablet since that first one finally debuting the tablet on camera, and for those who haven’t been following, this is what they’ve shown so far – some apps – a look at their custom e-mail, file manager and paint / drawing application and another look at the hardware – close up of the ports and a HDMI output test. The last video includes one of the features touted earlier that I wanted to hear more about – a software digitizer which Notion Ink labels the ‘false digitizer’.
It basically turns the Adam into a giant Touchpad with integrated (virtual) keyboard that can control apps wireless via WiFi, which is more or less the same way those many Android remote control apps available on the Android Market work. The example shows the Adam controlling / rotating a Blender (3d app) wireframe on a laptop. Of course you’re limited to fingers and thick tip styluses, without the accuracy and pressure sensitivity / levels of a dedicated and cheaper drawing tablet since the tablet has a capacitive touch screen.
