By the faultless logic of CE manufacturers, if you can’t ship, just keep adding features. To wit: the Notion Ink Adam is now going to have A-GPS, 802.11n support, and even include Unreal Engine support for some hot gaming action using NVIDIA’s Tegra graphics chip. Slashgear, however, is optimistic and expects a January 2011 launch date.

While we want to believe, this feels like a standard throat-clearing before a big announcement of availability in Slovakia and India and then a sudden disappearance off of everyone’s radar. What would Best Buy rather sell? The Dell Streak or the something that reminds people of grandma’s button basket?

How excited are you about the Adam? Sound off.
