I was one of the (probably few) suckers that bought an Adam tablet built around the promise of the Pixel Qi screens. It would replace e-readers (can read at the beach) and be a full-featured Android tablet. Unfortunately, while they did actually produce some of the devices and ship to early purchasers, they were plagued with delays, bugs and poor harware performance. They couldn't/wouldn't get authorization to use the Google Play Store, and so tried to produce their own with (I think) the goal of trying to be a mini-Apple (hardware/OS custom designed).
It also was produced right when Android 2.x was being phased on, Android 3 was not being adopted and Android 4+ was still around the corner.
Supposedly the company behind them, Notion Ink, produced a couple other devices despite such a horrific launch with the Adam, but I stopped paying attention as I would never send them another cent after my poor experience, which I chalk up to a learning experience on my part on who to trust with my money.
