Notion Ink finally shows off some of the capabilities of their tablet, the Adam. It’s able to run and display multiple apps at once, and it’s USB support is great too. Swiping is a bit sketchy though.

While we liked both Wired and Sports Illustrated‘s take on the tablet magazine, VIV Mag’s iPad Demo is a real page- and head-turner; it’s an all digital publication concept.
