Mr.Rohan Shravan, Notion Ink Chief executive officer,  noted to the official company blog that Adam runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and includes Honeycomb support. Adam promises better OpenGL graphics support, good multi-touch keyboard and better copy-paste features.

However, he did promote a mystery feature that should unlock new things in the tablet every fortnight.
