Everything about this tablet screams innovation. Designed in India, the Adam uses a special multitouch-enabled 10.1-inch transflective screen from Pixel Qi that switches between sunlight-friendly e-paper and color LCD modes. It also has a 3.2-megapixel, 180-degree-swivel camera; a high-def-video-capable Tegra 2 processor; an HDMI port; 3G; and GPS. It has been previewed running Android 2.1. A cheaper (and thinner) standard screen version will also be available this summer when the Adam launches.
