The company is based in India, and there's definitely a lot of useful technology in this device if it were to ever come out in the United States. Though made of plastic, it felt really nice in my hands, with one side thicker than the other so that you have a better grip on it. It runs on a 10-inch display, with a 1,024-by-600 resolution. The 10-inch display supports up to two-fingered touch, which worked pretty well in one of NotionInk's demo apps. The back of the unit features a small touch panel for navigating so that the front panel doesn't get dirty. It will have a built-in accelerometer, permitting the device to switch between portrait and landscape mode when the device itself is rotated. Features include an HDMI port, three USB ports, and built-in 3G and WiFi wireless. It's one of the two tablets that will run on Google Android (version 2.0) and is looking to sell around $400 when it ships.

This 10-inch prototype Android tablet integrates two impressive technologies: Nvidia’s blazing Tegra chip (which can handle 1080p video playback) and Pixel Qi’s groundbreaking dual-mode display that lets you go from full color mode to ePaper with the push of a button. Notion Ink says you can expect much better battery life than the Kindle in the ePaper mode. More important, Notion Ink is bringing its own software expertise to the table with a wrapper around Android that will enable spectacular gameplay and incredibly zippy JavaScript performance with a tailor-made WebKit browser. Plus, there’s a nifty touchpad on the back that lets you interact with the device without obstructing the screen.
