There’s a comment flood at Notion Ink blog and on popular demand CEO Rohan Shravan has posted a few photos of the Adam tablet and has given a hint of the EAP and roll-out phases.

Also in the reckoning is Microsoft’s Courier, although not much is known yet about this project under wraps. We will post updates as we get to know more. Keep watching. This image was sourced from Gizmodo.com. There is no official release from Microsoft.
