Notion Ink releases Android 4.0 alpha for the Adam tablet

Notion Ink releases Android 4.0 alpha for the Adam tablet Notion Ink has released a fixed alpha of Android 4.0.3 for their Adam tablet.
The original software launch, in "pre-alpha," offered Ice Cream Sandwich goodness with a side of broken audio, Bluetooth and GPS. Each of the features should be working fine now, and there are other updates, as well. However, the company says the camera and USB mass storage will still not work, sleep mode is buggy, and HDMI output may still not have sound.

Notion Ink's 10-inch tablet uses a dual-core Tegra 2 and has a Pixel Qi sunlight-readable display. The device is innovative but the company ran into some issues with supply and orders and the Android version placed on the device was very buggy at launch.

There is much more information here on what is updated and what is coming, via Notion Ink.
