I am very disappointed with the browser demonstration.

Contrary to the video commentary, it didn't look smooth at all and the zoom was horrible compared to how it works on my HTC Desire and to on Apple devices.

It's a shame, because otherwise it looks like a tablet I would happily use.

Considering it's an Android tablet (hence it shares the browser implementation with other Android devices), the problem looks like in the video driver and it leaves some room to improve.
I came here to write this.

How can she call this smooth? It looks anything but smooth.

I think this might the tablet for me. My main reservations are: 1. Some of their UI design choices seem quirky---I may need hands on time with an Adam to be sure it's for me. 2. All things being equal, I'd prefer higher resolution than 1024x600. Will that be good enough to comfortably read PDFs with smallish type (e.g., academic CS papers)?

The pixel qi and rotating camera (that could face towards the speaker when the tablet is flat on the desk) seem like killer features to me.

What other tablets have got people excited?

The PixelQi screen has four times the resolution in reflective mode, perfect for reading!

I'm waiting for mine, getting in in two weeks, they say.

I applaud their Eden overlay, but also hope that it doesn't interfere with the Adam getting timely OS updates as has apparently happened with some phones...
When two way video chat on mobile phones is better and less blocky than your hosted web content you know it's time to turn up the bitrate a smidge.
I have been following them for a while - in the meantime a NookColor is working out very nicely. Perhaps in 6 months I will buy one of these with the PixelQi screen.
