Notion Ink, the plucky Indian startup intent on shaking up the tablet industry, was most recently spotted turning over the sofa cushions seeking out spare change, but that isn’t stopping the company from announcing pricing for its mythical first product. The Adam, it has now been revealed, might be available for $498 with WiFi, 3G, GPS, and a Tegra 2 system-on-chip powering things, with prices dipping right down to $449 while you exclude either the 3G or Pixel Qi display option, and $399 in case you drop both and make do with a WiFi-only LCD-based tablet. That certainly adheres to the promise of aggressive pricing, but the Q3 launch — which in itself was a slip from a Q2 pledge — has now also been definitively scratched off the board of possibilities, as the device won’t be submitted to the FCC for certification until November. Notion Ink claims that from there on it’ll be just a question of waiting on the FCC to clear the Adam for its US launch, that can happen in late 2010 or CES 2011 at the most recent. Or, you know, never.
