Puzzled by PQ? Thrown by 3G? Nonplussed by nVidia?
Here's hoping our handy Glossary can set you straight, like a bridge over troubled water.

EAP
|
Early Adopter Program

|
Notion Ink's Early Adopter Program is a scheme where people applied to get an ADAM before its official launch in order to develop apps or test the device. There were two successive groups, EAP1 and EAP2.

Eden
|
Eden user interface

|
In the scripture of the Abrahamic religions, Eden is the mythical setting for the origin of humankind.
• On ADAM, the Eden user interface sits on top of the underlying Android mobile operating system, mediating the user experience. Eden's Panel Engine delivers the visual metaphor for multitasking (left – click to enlarge).

EDGE
|
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution

|
EDGE is a digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates as a backward-compatible extension of GSM on 3G networks.
• ADAM supports EDGE communication.

Enhanced Data Rate

|
Used in the context of Bluetooth, Enhanced Data Rate refers to the speed of transfer of data using Bluetooth. It has found a very significant number of applications, particularly in areas such as connecting mobile or cell phones to hands-free headsets.
• ADAM ships with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR which makes pairing easy, lowers power consumption and has improved security.

eMMC
|
Embedded Multi-Media Card

|
eMMC describes an architecture comprised of an embedded storage solution with MMC interface, flash memory and controller, all in a small ball grid array (BGA) package.
•ADAM ships with 8GB of eMMC flash memory storage.

ESD

Estimated Shipping Date or
Electro-Static Discharge
|
Estimated Shipping Date is the date pulled out of a hat which approximates the year when ADAM departs from the factory and begins its long journey to Hong Kong.
Electro-Static Discharge is a single-event, rapid transfer of electrostatic charge between two objects, usually resulting when two objects at different potentials come into direct contact with each other. ESD can also occur when a high electrostatic field develops between two objects in close proximity. ESD is one of the major causes of device failures in the semiconductor industry.
