SlashGear got some more details about Adam tablet. Two versions are considered for release, 12.9mm and 11.6mm, the thinner version probably will feature LCD panel instead of Pixel Qi.
nVidia estimates that tablets with LCD displays (consuming ~2W) using Tegra 2 will last for around 16 hours of full HD video. Since Pixel Qi uses just 0.2W in its electrophoretic reflective mode, potentially you can get up to 160 hours of use.
Notion Ink is planning to launch Adam with digital magazines, ebooks and comics. It will support Flash, which is huge advantage over Apple iPad. More information will be available at Mobile World Congress 2010 next week.
The company also will be running an Apps Competition, similar to Google’s ADC. No more details at this time, except over $1m prize fund.

Great combination of nVidia Tegra and Pixel Qi display gives you a longer battery life and perfect screen for all lighting conditions. It looks like normal display indoor, under bright sun colors washed out but still present. When backlight is turned off, it works as e-Ink display – good for Maps and eBook apps and saves energy as well.
