Notion Ink Adam to get Gingerbread update soon, and unofficial Honeycomb ROM
Notion Ink has officially announced an Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the Adam, complete with the Eden UI. No release date has been given yet however. While the Gingerbread update will bring numerous improvements, fixes and additions to the current interface, from better multitasking, the ability to overclock the Tegra processor, a new native audio-video player with equalizer support, and improved data base support.

While an official update is still a long way off, with Notion Ink not yet given access to the Android 3.0 source code, it seems a few developers are helping create a port for the Adam. While things might not be perfect yet, evinced by the work in progress video below, it seems full-fledged support is not too far off, though it maybe a while new Notion Ink Adam’s will ship with Honeycomb on board.
In other news, a Kindle app has been announced for the Adam, which will come bundled with future shipments.
