Unboxing Videos

I've had several requests to create a list of unboxing videos similar to the list I maintained of CES news events.  So as you find unboxing videos, please let me know so I can add theme here.  Thanks!

UPDATE:  Here are the first unboxing photos I know of other than Rohan's...  They were just sent to me by Shane Trafford who lives in the UK.  More photos and info coming in a few minutes.

The photos from Shane are flowing in now so I will keep adding them, and we will be doing a Q&A session here in a little while too.  Everyone please be sure to thank Shane for taking time to do this for us.

*Shane added this photo of the power supply

 UPDATE:  A couple new photos sent by Shane.  BTW: His Adam is working great (with the update) and is free of forced closes and other issues addressed by the update...

 

 Here is the first part of our interview... I'll be adding more soon too.

Greg: Which model Adam did you buy?
Shane: pixel qi wifi , i have and android phone i use as a hotspot so i did not need 3g

Greg: Did you give the delivery guy a big hug? ;-)
Shane:lol did i hehe, he looked at me odd as i was still in me dressing gown

Greg: Were you charged any additional fees upon delivery and if so, would you mind sharing how much?
Shane:he did not charge me anything at the door and i am looking through the paperwork now and i dont see any extra charge yet

Greg: How long did it take for the update to download?
Shane: update has taken 20 mins to download

Greg: How difficult was it to install the protective screen cover that came with it?
Shane:screen that large lets just say i swore alot :)

Greg: Do you have any tips for others that may help make it easier to install?
Shane:really make sure your hands are clean and dry , also make sure the little white bits of fluff that come from nowhere are not on the protector as they cause major bubbles

This is the last question/answer from Shane for now. We are going to give him some time to play with his awesome new tablet and finish the interview later since he will be leaving for work soon. Shane thanks so much for taking time to share with us!

Greg: While we are waiting... Tell us how it feels to be the first person other than Rohan to do an unboxing?
Shane: I feel very Honored to be the first to voice my joy at receiving my Adam , it has been a very long wait :)

Congratulations on being the first! Who is next?

UPDATE: So now we know who is next....  Ganesh Prasad Murthy sent us his unboxing photos.  Thanks Ganesh!!!



I'm so excited for everyone that I almost forgot about my Adam that is supposed to be here tomorrow...

Who wants to be third?  Elliot, where are you? 

Anyone want to see a video?  Here you go...




I have another video on the way... 

But in the meantime you can check out Ganesh's first impressions on his blog at http://tech-lemonade.blogspot.com/2011/01/notion-ink-adam-updates.html.  I've pasted below what he has to say so far, but he will keep updating it so be sure to go there to check it out too!

1. The build looks sturdy and strong. No glare (PQ Display)
2. The default memory available is 5.54 GB. (After the first boot)
3. Yet to try any accessories.
4. The power adapter has US style pins. This is a shame for people in EU as here its mostly different. Since the adapter can work 100-240V, I guess we could use a pin converter.
5. Facebook app does not seem to connect. Have to investigate more. (Not updated adam software yet. Just out of the box)
6. I had a pin converter already and it worked great. Now adam is charging.
7. Saw the Force close window few times in different apps.
8. No market or Genesis yet. (I have just started Adam update. It’s ~82mb file. Download in progress)
9. I tried my phone SIM card. 3G worked fine. SMS also works. No phone calls.
10. It comes installed with Nimbuzz.
11. Side loading of the apps possible. I will post more later about it. Still experimenting.

If you have used an android phone before, the settings are no different so getting used to is a smooth walk.

All in all good experience so far. But there is a lag once in a while. I hope the software update will fix that.

Haven’t had sun light after I received it (I am in Netherlands where sun light seems to be a rarity in this time of the year), so can’t test the potential of the PQ screen yet.

12. I uploaded a video of side loaded Angry Birds game play
Angry Birds on Notion Ink Adam

13. Initially there was no sound in Angry Birds but a reboot helped to get sound as well.
14. Video playback with a mp4 worked fine.
15. USB drive with 640GB was not recognized. Need to see the file format of the drive. Could have been NTFS so that might explain.
16. If anyone has the latest appbrain apk, can you please pass on? I cna try appbrain as well then.
17. Till now major bugs/force closes I have seen are with:
a. Panel interface (Home screen package)
b. Browser
Both seem to be NI developed. All android core components seem to be working fine.

Will try Dolphin and Opera on it and post back results.

Great info from Ganesh!  Be sure to follow his updates as this is just a start...  I'm loving the full screen Angy birds!!!

And here is Bruno's unboxing video.  Thanks Bruno!

With yours first - I guess we are all hoping that you get yours today.

I really like your comment "However, to avoid moderation we ask that you respect others and their opinions. And DO NOT post anything I would not want my kids to read."

How to use the Mireo GPS application for the US…there is no maps sold by Mireo?

I have seen something called “Mireo Cardinale 3 Black Edition 2010 Including USA Maps”, but could find it anywhere sold in the US.

Without a US map that works with the Mireo onboard GPS on ADAM, the GPS app maybe the one of those apps that have zero value but over hyped before release :(

Pratik said...

Hope you get your adam today..

Gareth said...

Be just nice to see the adam in a persons hands and not NI or mainstream tech bloggers :)

Perhaps you can do some show and tell on side loading, what the update is that awaits us, whether you can find a bonus mystery feature, if there is a track pad underneath, and any and all other myths/rumours/teases that have had us glued to NI blog for months :)

Much anticipating your updates :)

Looking forward to your views Greg. Hope it arrives soon

Terminator said...

Hey Greg i know you have some testing you are going to be doing, but just wanted to know if you can add these also plz... some you may already plan to do. I was originally going to purchase the Archos 101 and it can do these things so i want to see how the ADAM compares.

-What file table on memory card/external hd can it read. (nfts, fat32, ext3/4)

-portal external usb powered hd, ntfs format, can it power and run it(archos 101 can)

Media share/streaming... can it stream/access your media files from a computer on a network.

Codecs and subtitles. a BIG reason for me to get the tablet is to be able to watch my anime on it, can it display subtitles from mkv's, how well can it run the most intensive mkv's out there.

Can the application storage memory be changed/resized.

Thanks alot.

Terminator said...

Greg sorry for the clutter, i wanted to add these 2 video's to show you exactly what i mean.. thanks

Mine will arrive tomorrow according to TNT its at Lisbon but they cant release it yet :(

Notion Ink Fan (Greg) said...

Hi Everyone.

This post will be a list of everyone's unboxing videos on the internet that I can find.

When I do my own videos, I will cover all the questions that people have been asking the best I can. Some will take longer to get to than others but I will try to hurry. I plan to first cover the ones that have been asked about the most, and begin with a simple unboxing followed by a series of videos to introduce people to the Adam's features and apps, etc.

PS: If you have been a lurker or an anonymous poster, NOW is the time to add yourself to the followers list on the right hand side of this site!!! ;-)

Eagerly waiting for mine! Hopefully it ships before 29th!

Could anyone who received theirs post a pic and/or dimensions of the plug adaptor head to Adam here? Recently bought an external battery pack, would like to know if the adaptor fits the power inlet of the Adam.

Also, any access to Genesis? And what is the update about as shown in the latest post?

Enjoy your Adams

The screen looks so dull not sure if protective film is the cause.

freedune said...

Btw, why can't NID put the screen on by default and then let those who don't like it to pull it off?

I think I will take it to some mobile phone store and ask them to put it on for me.

Nice to actually have a place where i can read the comments and see all the videos in one place. Thanks Greg.

How does the Pixel Qi screen look Shane? Seem faded at all or look like a normal LCD?

Shane, does it have a sim card slot. I know it is not a 3G version, but if sim card slot is present may be mobilephone feature may be enabled in future!

Nice Scoop Greg!

Thanks to Shane; really cheered me up to see UK buyer received his with no hassle/holdup from customs/tax people. At least not yet, 20% VAT bill on it's way though I expect.

So us on 29th batch hopefully, Chinese New Year allowing, will see ours early next week.

Will be interested to see GPS in action + pics taken by yourself with your adam! Thanks again.

nice job on the photos shane. i think karma has bit me in the butt for not sharing my unboxing with everyone. i have hooped my adam already, an hour after opening it.

i did the software upgrade and it hasn't come back. i get a yellow and red light near the power supply plug and nothing happens when i try to turn it on :(

i'll keep everyone posted as to how i get this resolved in case anyone else hits this same issue

It's so difficult to watch everyone else unbox their Adam while I have to wait because my ship date got pushed back!

hmmm I just realised something...
Mine will ship on the 29th, and I am in the east coast US.
If it doesn't reach me until the 5th , I will be missing the delivery, as I am travelling :(
That'll screw up my trip royally as I just won't be able to concentrate on my work at all...:(..
Hopefully the shipping starts earlier than 29th...

Timba said...

Shane and Ganesh, thanks so much for sharing and you Greg for taking the time to organize and present. Wish I did not have to work today so I could just watch and read the blog but I am trying to keep in mind that the work pays for adam and maybe eve, who knows. Thanks again and keep up the great work everyone. I am an Android novice and have learned so much just reading here and Rohan's blog that it is difficult to overstate how much I appreciate everyone who has provided input, insight and in some cases great reminders of how wonderful humanity can be when it tries.

ingermaaike said...

Oh I can hardly wait for all the firsthand user experiences! I am so curious as to how it is in real life :)

Thanks you two to taking the time to show us your adams!! Really looking forward to your real world experiences as you learn to use them. Congrats!!

This is so exciting! Kind of like a special Christmas Day for geeks.

ikbenben said...

thanks for the feedback on the light indicators but i had already read that stuff. the problem with mine is the cpu indicator is solid red and the battery indicator is solid yellow.

when i plug in the charger the batter indicator is blue indicating it is fully charged.

i will continue to charge it just to be safe but i do think i have hooped it. i've sent an email to notion ink for feedback so will let you all know

Is your Adam working now?

Dropped your Adam?
No charge in your battery?
Some hardware issue?
Update got screwed?

Which of these?

Try disconnecting your battery and put it back on. Might be an OS thingy.

Rama Maganti said...

Looks like Shane got a power supply charger with a US style plug. Does he have a converter adapter for it to work in the UK?

I also saw Ganesh's adam only had CE marking on it. I don't know whether FCC marking is also there on the ones shipped to Europe. Maybe either Shane or Ganesh could respond to these questions.

@Jacob Well, just imagine all of us who didn't even have the opportunity to order! :) /Elisabeth

Bruno said...

Internet speed is low atm it seems it never ends -_-

Rama Maganti said...

I personally feel the wrong plug type shouldn't really matter. People who are still waiting for their adam (in UK and rest of Europe) better be prepared to get a US to UK/Europe plug adapter. Remember HP are well known to ship their printers without a USB cable. Manufacturers of Bluray players do not ship with a HDMI cable (I paid £20 extra to get a HDMI cable a year back from a Panasonic showroom). A minor fly in the ointment which NI could have avoided. An adapter costs zilch in China.

Himanshu said...

Thanks Ganesh too for sharing his adam pics. TO be frank I have never been so excited seeing unboxing pics from fellow mates :) :) .adam is addictive.

This is incredibly exciting. I can't wait to see some video reviews!

thanks for keeping up on it, greg.

vector66 said...

Awesome! Keep sending your pics over to Greg!!! :)

George said...

@Shane,
Thank you x infinity for sharing your unboxing pics with Greg and in turn the rest of us!!!!! Of course thank you to Greg for passing them along.

As one person already wrote, it's nice to see pics from a source other than NI. For me it feels more real and exciting. I especially like the close ups of the owners' manual and the side inputs with the power lights ON. It's alive! :-)) I can't wait to see more views of other Adams. Living vicariously (and jealously) for now but hopefully that will change soon with pre book 2.

? for Shane: is it as responsive as you thought it would be and how is the display quality?

With regard to the protective covering, dust free environment? Outside of Bob Villa's workshop, does that even exist :-)) I have a cat and a dog, I think I'm in trouble!

Thanks again Shane and Greg!

very sure is reg sim card

can someone try to make a phone call using skype or google voice?

todd. said...

Things I've tried which work:
I installed the Google Maps app backed up from my phone (running CM6) using Astro.

Things I'vr tried which didn't work:
Kindle. Always says it can't find an internet connection, whether or not Browser can.
Google books. Wants a Google account, no way to activate one.
HTC IME (Sense-clone) keyboard. Just crashes.
Location in Google Maps. Says it's not available.

Albert Wertz said...

that sounds like the custom code in the adam is not working properly with other apps? hope this isnt the reason? cant find internat and cant find GPS?

magic51 said...

Could it be Google Services Framework not supported as it seems strange you cannot activate google account?(or is it "you" cannot, and not the Adam the cannot?)

magic51 said...

Just thought, in android 2.2 there is an account activation and sync utility if I recall correctly, or it's named something similar. Should be able to add an account in that if you can find it?

todd. said...

Funny stuff. I think it's that the framework isn't installed. I haven't tried yet because I didn't know I would need it to read sh ebook.

Setting the clock also seems to have convinced FB to connect.

Mark said...

has anyone see/used the screen spray that comes with a ZAGG skin ... i used on my wife's phone and it seemed to help the process ... it sort does 2 things ... helps keep fingerprints off and allows some minor movement of screen as bubbles are pushed out ... might come in handy for the adam screen protector assuming you decide to put it on ... greg thanks for all your hard work on this site ... looking great!

- mark

todd. said...

Has anyone gotten GPS to work yet? All I can get out of osmand is "Location unknown yet."

Eric said...

a simple tip for applying screen protector. use a credit card covered with microfiber cloth. wipe screen from the center to any bubble and off to the nearest edge

Anonymous said...

Does anyone know whether the Adam has a fan inside (I mean fan as in cooling fan not as in notioninkfan:) ) ?
Whether the hard disk is flash?
Whether there is anything else in it that produces sound (apart from the speakers:) )?

Magnus said...

I really like the design! I think Notion Ink will be a strong Brand in the future. Go go go!! ;0)

gc said...

At present you need to be notion ink fan to receive an Adam. In case you are not one you have received one in error please send it over to me:)
Yes there is no hard disk. Only Flash storage.

Also have mythmote (from freeware lovers) and instafetch (phone backup) working!

@Greg
What we need is a fair and impartial review by you once you get your adam. I know it is tough for you to be completely impartial. For the betterment of adam and for NI's longterm success, you need to play the Devil's advocate here.

my video of adam. I installed ADWLauncher on adam and it works find. until the XDA developers get their hand on this device, i will miss a lot of google experience. but overall with ADWLauncher, it's pretty cool device.
