My View:
My likes…
- The animation which shows that we have reached the end of scrolling the panels.
- Having as much as panels open as you can.
- Scroll-ability in each panel.
- Less resource utilization of apps in each panel when in panel mode.
- Availability of launcher helps to reach a particular panel without actually scrolling the panels.
- Dragging & dropping panels for re-arranging them
My dislikes…
- When we drag the panels, it’s not smooth, kind of jerky movement. I hope this would be fixed.
- The theme is bright in color i.e ash color. If it’s dark color, may be more energy can be saved with the display.
- The small launcher icon on the left with bright orange kind of looks odd. Wish it was placed somewhere unobstructed.
That’s my view for this video.
Great work Rohan

I have been trying to run market in Android 2.1 & 2.2 emulator and every time I ended up failing.
This time I came across instructions in 2 different website and was able to successfully run market in Android 2.3 emulator.
As some people have said after multiple tries only I was able to add google account.
Once google account was added market was running but some intermittent crashes happened.
But I am running market successfully.
The following links might help to run market in emulator successfully.

PS: Some times Varun’s blog doesn’t load but the instructions are similar to the one in XDA-Dev site.
I followed XDA-Dev instructions and it worked fine.

Notion Ink a new company in the business of manufacturing tablets based out of Bangalore, India has recently started their pre-orders.
Recently they decided to release product videos before CES 2011 and following are the videos.
I will be adding series of videos which they are releasing.

First Demo Video

Second Demo Video
As far as my view is concerned regarding these 2 videos. Notion Ink’s multitasking concept is really good.
Considering a simple scenario where a person who want to post link to his facebook, might look into 2 panels one with browser and other with facebook and can do the posting without swapping both applications.
This is one of the best features of notion ink which I like. I regret that I didn’t pre-order the product.
I some how didn’t like the large gap between the actual display and edge of the tablet. It looks odd. May be they will make some changes in the next iteration.
