While Notion Ink’s custom Eden software interface for the Adam table has been getting mixed reviews from early customers, it’s clear that the company put a lot of thought into designing apps for Android tablet, including a web browser, calculator, file browser and email app. A few days ago we reported that the folks at xda-dvelopers had figured out how to install the Notion Ink Adam firmware on the ViewSonic gTablet, a 10 inch Android tablet with similar hardware. Now there’s also a way to install individual apps from Eden without replacing the gTablet’s standard firmware.

So far, the apps include:

  • Calculator – full screen calculator with scientific function keys
  • Calendar – nice loking full screen calendar
  • Canvas  – app for drawing or painting
  • Keyboard – Notion Ink’s keyboard app
  • Mail’d – email app based on K-9
  • QuickOffice – version of the QuickOffice suite for Android that’s been optimized for tablet displays
  • Sniffer – file browser and app launcher that provides detailed information about your device
  • Web browser – Notion Ink’s custom web browser (which will replace the stock Android web browser)

The apps are available for download from the xda-developers forum.

Update: It looks like the apps should work on other Android tablets as well. My Tablet Life has confirmed they work with the Archos 101.

  1. “Now there’s also a way to install individual apps from Eden without replacing the gTablet’s standard firmware.”

    And why would anyone want to do that? 🙂

    (I recently bought, and returned, two of the G Tablets. As I relate here (https://www.facebook.com/note.php?created&&note_id=499276212282 — can non-FB users read that? I’m not sure), I would consider a 3d one, if I find a cheap refurb, or through Craigslist, etc, but certainly not to do anything but immediately rip off that pointless, embarrassing are-they-serious?! pustule of an interface they have grafted on to Android.

  2. Notion ink is in a big trouble. They are have money problems. Greg their biggest supporter is no where to be heard of .After he got his Adam he had promised to make a video of his adam but he doesn’t respond to inquires on his blog http://www.notioninkfan.com. He has a left a Rabid Fan by the name of NiShit who comments on his blog and bites everyone who tries to show concern about notion ink. He is really Ni-Shit ( Ni=Notion ink + Shit).
