There were tears of joy at the Notion Ink Adam launch, but also tears of shame, as owners of the long-awaited Pixel Qi tablet who downloaded the very first OTA update had their slate brutally bricked . Thankfully, the Notion Ink team appears to have issued a speedy fix, as you can download the ROM directly from the company’s website and flash it the comfort of your own home. Assuming you’ve got a Windows or Linux PC handy, it’s only an 80MB download away, and you’ll find file links and a detailed set of instructions right after the break. We’ll also note that this gives the hacker community an intriguing opportunity to peek through the Adam’s code — if you find anything interesting, be sure to let us know!

Odds are you’ll have your first chance at Honeycomb with Motorola’s Xoom next month , but LG’s G-Slate for T-Mobile — which might very well be 3D-enabled — shouldn’t be too far behind. New intel coming out of TmoNews today pegs the G-Slate for a March 23rd launch with an unknown price tag, preceded by the Dell Streak 7 on February 2nd (which is being billed as the carrier’s “first 4G tablet” thanks to its HSPA+ support) at $299.99 on contract after rebate. Turning to non-tablet news, the Galaxy S 4G — which you might recall is basically a Vibrant remixed with HSPA+ — looks line up for February 23rd. In other words, it’s going to be a busy, wallet-emptying couple months for you T-Mobile types… so save up while you can.
