It seems, India, soon is going to be regarded as a hardware superpower. In Hyderabad-based Notion Ink, 4 students have developed Adam tablet PC which has generated enormous buzz on tech websites and gadget blogs ever since an early prototype was first demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show, the world’s largest consumer tech show in January.

It's 10-inch screen integrates many innovations first used in the $100 OLPC (one laptop per child) project. Unlike traditional screens, PixelQI screen has a dual mode, and can be read in bright sunlight like an e-reader. The company expects to start retail sales, first in the USA, from July onwards. The Adam tablet is the first device in the world to integrate two breakthrough power saving components that promises twice the battery life of the iPad.

So users, according to you, can Adam give Apple ipad a run for its money?

I don't think so. iPad is far better than Adam. The technology it uses is far better than Adam. Adam is new in the market whereas iPad already has established itself in the market. I don't think it will be easy for Adam to grab the market of iPad.

IPAD does't need a killer (its dead), yes already Apple executives are breaking their heads to decide on POSITIONING of IPAD. It cannot replace a netbook, notebook nor a phone. CAN ANY ONE OF TELL ME 10 things that we can do with IPAD and cannot do them with the iphone. One thing i can think of is Book reading (again do you need $600+ devise for reading books. Kindle is much lighter in weight, price and ease of use)

As an Indian we must be proud of such innovation which is going to impact the markeet share of iPad.No doubt teeting problems will always be there in launch of any new product and get its share in the market. The Adam may bring the change in the market in the cost of the iPad also. Even before the commercial launch of the product the iPad may come down in price with added features. Let us wish the young team of professionals pioneer in much more innovations and an early commercial launch of Adam. I wish the commercial launch should be in India first than US

Here I am not say that which is batter ipad or adam. But if adam is develop in India than we should be appreciate the efforts of those students. And the cost price is very affordable as per  Indian conditions. So Adam is batter for Indian people.

The ipad cost $500 in the market which is not easy to afford for a common man. On the other hand Adam, being $100, is much cheaper which will easily be affordable by public. I think because of this, Adam has got better opportunities than ipan to be popular in the market.

Adam has all the good reasons to iPad to think twice about exploiting the market by high price range. The technology, the concept and usage of battery life seems to be the leading factor for gaining the edge over iPad.

It needs to be marketed well with right positioniing in the market to attract the right customers. Rest everything will come in place automatically.

True Sumitra, to begin with the iPad is an "APPLE" product and probably anything dished out from the Apple stable needs no introduction despite debatable factors in terms of price comparisons & indigenious elements.

If I have to evaluate iPad against Adam and make a purchase decision, it may well go in favour of Adam. My decision will be based on superior specs and features Adam has, favourable pricing and a dash of nationalism. No doubt, Adam has already captured the fancy of geeks world over; which may ensure Adam is going to be a success. But one cannot underestimate Apple's brand pull and its cult following, the options and channels available via iTunes store and the aggressive pricing Apple has chosen for iPad, will make iPad a bigger success compared to Adam in their maiden iterations.

Adam can't beat iPad in terms of app store & after sales + the brand image of Apple, atleast for the time being. However, its might prove to be a big step for Indian requirement of OLPC.
