Colour strips for ADAM
Partners will start shipping colour strips for ADAM starting sometime. Tactus Labs is working on Carbon Graphite like replacements..

Stand
The packaging for ADAM doubles up as a stand as well, as shown in the unboxing photos below (click to enlarge), from ‘My Box!’, posted by Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shravan on 21 Jan 11.
Power Converter
ADAMs come with a universal plug adapter for the power supply. Currently the plug on the power supply is a US two-bladed version. This included
adapter allows you to plug the supply into other outlets like those found in the UK and Germany.
Stylus supported
When asked about what type of stylus is recommended for note taking, Rohan responded, "...whatever is working fine on other capacitive devices, will work on ADAM too."[S]

In reply to a comment on his blog, Rohan said, “You can use any existing Capacitive Stylus on ADAM like here in the link: http://tenonedesign.com/sketch.php”[S] – which is the Pogo Sketch Capacitive Stylus for trackpads & touch screens.
Other capacitive styluses are, of course, also available, and NotionAddict bigwhitebear18 mentions the elago Stylus Pen with Clip among the ADAM accessories in her/his signature.

NotionAddict meranaamjoker highlights an innovative idea from designer Don Lehman: take a pen you use already and add a cap with a capacitive stylus to it. Such is the MORE/REAL Stylus Cap, available from Don’s Kickstarter project page in stainless steel or brass (and given an honourable nod in Wired’s Gadget Lab). |

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
ADAM can support the use of a wireless keyboard and mouse, as illustrated below in a photo (click to enlarge) of a Logitech Wireless Desktop MK320, from ‘My Box!’, posted by Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shravan on 21 Jan 11. The 2.4 GHz wireless receiver can be see plugged into ADAM’s left hand side USB port (there's also an identical USB port on ADAM’s right hand side). No doubt other wireless keyboard and mouse combos may also work with ADAM.

Proposed other questions:
*) Is there support for bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse - eg. Logitech models, Apple Wireless Keyboard (sleek design)
*) If using an External HDD - what filesystem formats are supported? (couldn't find this answered elsewhere)
