Oh yikes. I tend to think the confusion/mishaps are due to inexperience - which is something that makes me question whether I should shell out $$$ for their first product. But this link adds even more concerns. To see it all written in one place is even more troublesome. I'm going to wait to order, for sure.Originally Posted by thechipbennett
I am wondering if this thing even comes through any retail outlet. Doesnt look like it. Otherwise the "family" that paid $50 for shipping will look like ..........
And another thought...on support. Are we limited to support hours only being 9-5 India time? I'm willing to bet that is the case, and probably by e-mail only...maybe chat.
And I dont know what kind of support can be available. I am only worried abt the hardware itself and there no quick fix for that in case of problems.
I keep trying to remind myself of Occam's Razor of Human Interaction: Never ascribe to malice or greed what can more easily be ascribed to stupidity or inexperience.
I ... keep ... trying ...
BTW does anyone know if you have to pay an import duty in the US? If so how much is it?

I think anyone that drops money for this tablet without one shred of evidence that it exists is a fool. I could put together a company with several friends and pull one over on 10000+ people for $500+ each and get away with it, as long as I am not in the United States, as well. Think back to all the pictures he has posted, everything that he has shown...None of it is solid evidence that this thing exists in it's advertised form, and you suckers are shelling out $500+ for it. I really hope the Adam comes to fruition but I for one am not willing to part with a week's pay for something that has not been proven to physically exist. With all the people willing to dish out money with no evidence of a product and no guarantee on shipment date, that really shows the unhappiness of the people with what's currently offered in the tablet genre, which is obviously something he is capitalizing on, whether or not the Adam really exists.
A father shark is swimming with his son deep beneath the surface. They come across a group of people from a capsized boat. He turns to his son and says
“Ok son, what we’re going to do is swim around them in a circle once with our fin just barely out of the water. Then on the second circle we’ll show them more of our fin. After the third circle when we show our entire fin only then will we go in for dinner ok?”
“But dad Im starving!”
Regardless the boy has to follow his fathers instructions. They complete the third circle and only then do they go in and enjoy the feast.
“Dad, I dont get it. Why did we waste all that time?! My stomach was about to eat itself!”
The father smiles and says, “They sure tasted good didnt they”?
“Well yeah it was delicious.”
“Yup, they taste a hell of a lot better after you scare the crap out of ‘em”
This was a joke a friend told me. It was funny until it popped into my head tonight, after all we’ve been through.
Dont be sharks NI
I think after reading all of these, I am settled. I discovered the Adam about a month ago, been very excited until a few days ago. The closer the date got the more and more I started digging and thinking. If I bought it now, I wouldn't sleep for a month. or I can wait 2 months for them to get their sh*t together and drop it in some retail outlets. I refuse to pay for international shipping for a supposed "global" product.
send 100,000 units to Walmart and Sears. I'll go buy it from them. I can return/replace it there, in person, for free.
