After nearly a year after being announced, it looks like Notion Ink is slowly beginning to unveil the followup to the original Adam tablet via Twitter. Last we heard, the Adam II will rock a TI OMAP 4400-series dual-core processor with Android 4.0.

A new research study has determined that Android tablets have made a strong impact among adult tablet owners in the US. In 2011, Android tablets occupied just 15 percent of the market share. Here we are in 2012, and the number has grown to an astronomical 48 percent. Of the 48 percent, 21 percent of users own the Kindle Fire and 8 percent own some form of the Galaxy Tab.

Samsung’s family of Galaxy Tabs take the second spot and sits at only 15.4% of the market, down from 23.8% in December.
My mother has been looking for a tablet for the last couple of weeks and I have been

Now she decided she wants a 10 inch tablet and I told her the price just jumped by at least $100.
But, yesterday I saw an Archos 101 G9 Turbo 10.1 on sale for $199 (regular pric
