Notion Ink to offer $US1m app prize to kickstart Adam ereader
Posted on 09. Feb, 2010 by JD in News
Back at CES, we were pretty excited to get our hands on Notion Ink’s far out, Pixel Qi display-boasting reader, Adam. Well, Notion Ink is on the move, and encouraging development for the Tegra-powered little devil is apparently a top priority. The company has unveiled plans to hold an App Competition with one million dollars in prize money for the development of Adam-compatible software. There are no final details about the contest yet, but we think we’ll probably be hearing more about it next week at MWC. Slashgear’s got some interesting renders Notion Ink sent over which give us an idea of what a final production model might look like — and it’s definitely different than the prototype we saw in Las Vegas. The company also told Slashgear that it’s considering having two retail versions of the Adam — but has only said that one might measure 12.9mm thick, and the other 11.6mm thick — so we’re not sure what other differences might be in tow. We’ll let you know when we hear more details about that million dollar prize money, though.
