Notion Ink Adam display does not include a “pure matte glass” display

Ink notion is in damage control mode as it fends claims that shipping is a product that does not match some of the allegations on its website. According to a report by the notion Ink Adam again not a “pure ground glass” include display as in his description of the product. Instead, it comes equipped with a matte screen protector. The news has come in a number of company e-mails to disappointed customers who pre-orders for the device currently sold.

Notion Ink Adam display does not include a “pure matte glass” display

In an email to SlashGear, Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shavan explains that the Pixel Qi version comes with two layers, one on the inside of the device to the Pixel Qi panel, and an application manually on the outside of the device such as Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086. Shavan claims, somewhat convincingly, that the glass layer on top of the display “is already low in gloss, matte and if you are pure matte to add”.

Concerns have also been raised about whether the glass is scratch resistant, Shavan but has assured users that it is still in fact the case. Whether the explanation will be sufficient to appease customers will continue to be seen. The concept Ink Adam, the runner-up prize at CES 2011 for the best tablet behind the Motorola Xoom, is expected to ship January 19.

New Tablets Show

Most of the tablets released in 2011, Android-based, but a few faithful stabbing with Windows. We recently got a look at two tablets flaunt Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer keynote CES 2011: The Acer and the Asus Eee Iconia Slate EP121. Together they show the possibilities – and limitations – of a Windows-based tablet strategy. It is not surprising to see Windows tablets, given that computer makers are making them since 2001. In a sense, the tablet never went away.

New Tablets Show

But in another sense, these tablets show how wrong Microsoft is planning to use Windows for everything is headed. The company recently announced plans for Windows versions of ARM-based processors such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon and Nvidia Tegra 2, which are found in a lot of tablets and the upcoming high-end smartphones to make.

Microsoft Division President Steven Sinofsky, speaking at CES last week, pointed to a convergence between the hardware requirements for Windows (desktop OS) and most smartphones. Windows 7 is not more resources than its predecessors, Windows Vista (actually slightly less) and he expects the hardware requirements will remain level. Meanwhile, smartphones winning features previously only found in PCs: dual-core processors, gigabytes of RAM, heavy-duty graphics processing capabilities like on Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086.

“This convergence is quite interesting for us as we think about the next generation of Windows,” Sinofsky said. But the convergence hardware is only part of the story. The fact is, the Windows interface is not designed for touch screens, a fact that became apparent after a few minutes with the Asus and Acer tablets.

HP WebOS learning guide

HP webOS a learning guide has virtually confirmed that mobile platform from Palm will be netbooks. It promised webOS on a “phone and a lei and a netbook” in a part of the presentation. A review quiz reinforces this point by asking a question where the only answer to a “see webOS on multiple devices such as netbooks question included as part of the answer.

WebOS learning guide

The computer is still largely an unknown, but it can be one of the devices to show on February 9 webOS event. It can use an ARM-based processor and a new version of webOS need a bigger screen support like on Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086.

HP recently tried to get into the category of mobile-based notebooks with its 100 Airlife running Android. The system is usually a conversion of a Mini netbook, but could run for 12 hours on one charge and was relatively inexpensive, even with embedded 3G.

Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086 Review

A great sounding sound system and a great-looking 16-inch display, the Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086, available at Amazon, a large entertainment notebook. It lacks the Blu-ray drive, the same configured and priced Toshiba Satellite A665-S6085, but it makes up for this loss with an extended-life battery a much longer life battery and produces a WiMax radio for high-speed wireless broadband.

Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086 Review

The A665-S6086′s design is almost identical to that of the Toshiba A665-S6085, both use the same plastic lid and keyboard deck, which has a texture pattern, the only difference is that the A665-S6086 is dark gray of color, the Toshiba A665-S6085 is black. And like the Toshiba A665-S6085, A665-S6086 the lid flexes a fair bit if you press down, making me wonder how easy it would be to damage the screen when the lid ever gets knocked a little too hard.

Both laptops also share the same footprint (15 by 10 inches), but because the A665-S6086 adds a 12-cell extended-life battery 98WH to the mix (the A665-S6085 comes with a 6-cell 48Wh battery) 2.2-inch thick, the A665-S6086′s rear feet stick up about 0.75 inches higher than the more slender Toshiba A665-S6085. Also because of the extended-life battery, the A665-S6086 (6.12 pounds) is heavier than the Toshiba A665-S6085 (5.55 pounds), respectively.

The “tile”-like keyboard on the two laptops are identical, where the square, isolated key titles like Scrabble. The keys have nice trip, and there is only a little bit of flex to the right of the keyboard and on the dedicated number pad. A strip of touch-sensitive buttons is above the keyboard. The buttons are the Toshiba Power Utility Eco-management application, 802.11b/g/n the radio on and off, adjust volume, play and pause and play media. There is also a button that the backlight of Toshiba logo on the left corner of the palm rest and a thin LED strip above the touchpad turns. The touchpad surface is smooth, responsive, multitouch gestures, and easy-to-press buttons make it a joy to use. It is level with the palm resting A665-S6086.

Like the Toshiba A665-S6085, the A665-S6086′s outstanding feature is the great audio system. Even without a subwoofer, the fresh-sounding and very loud Harmon Kardon speakers actually a hint of bass. You can also use sparkling speaker of the A665-S6086′s, even when the laptop is in sleep mode or turned off by connecting an MP3 player on the laptop, the A665-S6086′s “Sleep-and-Music” feature.

The impressive audio quality of the sound system carries over to movie soundtracks as well. Not only movies sound great, they look great on clear and color-rich, the A665-S6086′s 16-inch display. But as with most glossy displays, reflections can be problematic, unless you’re in a dark room. Even with a native resolution of 1366 x 768, you can not watch 1080p videos in their native resolution, but this is less a problem with the A665-S6086 than it is with the Toshiba A665-S6085, a Blu-inclusive ray drive the A665-S6086 comes with a more pedestrian dual-layer DVD +/ RW drive.

Another notable difference between the A665-S6086 and Toshiba A665-S6085 Toshiba is how the bundled Web Camera Application acts. On the Toshiba A665-S6085, the app’s partially hidden bar there was always annoying, no matter what else was on the screen, including movies. Fortunately this was not the case with the A665-S6086, Toshiba Web Camera App’s bar tucked away at the right times.

The A665-S6086 comes with a decent set of connectivity options, 100Mbps Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, WiMax and 4G WiMax mobile broadband radio provides connection speeds up to four times faster than 3G data connections among . If you want WiMax capabilities of the A665-S6086′s use, but you must pay extra for service via a WiMax service provider, such as Clearwire, Sprint and Time Warner Cable.

Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086 Review

You’ll also want to ensure that WiMAX coverage in areas where you plan on using the A665-S6086, like WiMax availability is still very limited in many places in the U.S. additional connections to the A665-S6086 are HDMI and VGA-out ports, an ExpressCard/34 slot, a 7-in-1 media card reader and four USB 2.0 ports. One of the USB ports is a combo eSATA / USB port which also “USB Sleep and Charge” feature, which you charge USB powered devices such as MP3 players and phones, even when the laptop is in sleep mode or powered off.

Pre-installed software is also similar to the A665-S6086 and Toshiba A665-S6085, a plethora of Toshiba-branded apps include. You might find at least some of these applications are useful, such as Toshiba Toshiba Face Recognition security app or reel-time, a visual timeline of recently opened files are displayed. The A665-S6086 comes with a one year limited warranty on parts and labor, and Toshiba offers 24/7 free support.
