Notion Ink has been pretty slow with its second generation of the Adam tablet, though it is apparently about to arrive. The last time the tablet was in the news was in May when a set of images of the tablet leaked online. Things have remained quiet ever since, though the lull has been broken by the appearance of a fresh set of images of the next gen Adam tablet, showing greater detail. The entire gamut of the tablet, from the packaging to the accessories, has come to the forefront. From the images, what can be seen is that the packaging has been redone in white. Other details that have emerged show a wide range of accessories accompanying the tablet, including a leather cover featuring a magnetic locking strap. The cover features a smooth finish along the exterior and is available in three dual tone color options, cerulean blue and smokey grey, coal black and burnt umber, as well as coal black and smokey grey. The tablet will also benefit from a docking station that is easy to deploy and folds back for easy storage. There is a stylus as well, which features a rubber cladding to ensure easy grip. Interestingly, the images have also revealed a smartphone that has been named Eve, and going by the naming scheme should make for the perfect partner for the Adam II device. The device does look beautiful with its super slim bezel, which makes the display all the more prominent. The only grouse here is that the tablet could have been provided with a thinner bezel all along. The Adam II also looks too cumbersome. As for specs, what we know of the Adam II from an earlier leak is that the tablet will come with a 10.1 inch display, but with a rather disappointing 1280 x 800 pixel. Powering the device will be a 1.5GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip mated to a 1 GB RAM. The tablet will also include a front and rear two megapixel camera and will run the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Providing the juice will be a 6000mAh battery, which its makers claim is good enough for 10 hours of operation. A high point of the Adam II device will be a secondary monochrome display, which will display notifications so that users won’t have to fire up the entire device to read when software updates are made available. However, exact pricing or availability details are anybody’s guess right now, though they can’t be too far off, or at least that’s what previously leaked images implied. With such modest specs on board, the Adam II seems to be indeed priced at around the $220 mark, as was rumored earlier.
