IContain announces Amiga branded TVs, cell phones and computers

"When an account is in default or an item is deemed stolen the product can be located for quick retrieval or authorities can be notified in cases of theft."

  Too bad the "Amiga" name doesn't contain this technology.  I'd like to report it stolen, with current location unknown. :angry:

AmigaAnywhere is starting to taking on a whole new meaning.  In a  couple years we'll have a dozen different Amiga platforms and OS's.   You can have an Amiga desktop, Amiga cellphone, Amiga calculator, Amiga  laserpointer, etc.

Amiga will rule the world!

well, had a quick google search on Todd Kleperis and he seems to be real. There's also a video from 2009 that I found. He also has a facebook page.

We'll see where this goes.

Fresh popcorn (sweet and salted), chilled drinks, pancakes, ice cream!
This is a new episode for the famous AES:
The Amiga entertainment system.

"major disagreement between McEwen and the late Kouri - perhaps the various Amiga parties in the US don't even agree who's entitled to hand out Amiga licenses or sell the actual IP"

WTF? can this get any weirder?
I want either Dave Haynie or David Pleasance to step out of the shower and tell me this is all a dream. But not together...oh no (that's one boing I don't want to see).

Hey Leo I hear these guys are looking for a CTO:roflmao:

When a certain Todd Kleperis contacted the Aminet team two days ago to  "discuss your library of Amiga titles" and ask for "guidance as to how  to work with the existing fan base", the initial reaction over over at  Aminet was confusion.

So, this makes them +1 up on CUSA, now doesn't it?

IContain uses the Amiga typeface from the ESCOM aera, which to me is a mark of failure. I doubt that this will last for more than a year.

That's the weird part. If it were just the Chinese rent-to-own company it'd be easy to call it unquestionably a scam, but if it's a scam why would they care about working with the community? I am confused.

[robo-ant]

OMG!  WTF?  This is getting too weird.

[Iggy]

This is as weird as it gets. "Protected by iContain"? WTF indeed!
They're using a boing ball on their webpage.
Is any of this legally sanctioned?

I wonder what Barry Altman is thinking about this?

[TheGoose]

Ohhh Gawwwd, here we go again. This will be worse than the Commodore USA threads...


Last I heard, the pirates off the coast of Somalia owned "Amiga"

MWA HA HA!!


Paging Dr. Franko, Dr. Franko, you have a telephone call....

If the price is good I wouldn't mind an Amiga branded tablet. When AROS becomes available it will be a real Amiga.

[jj]

[Pete_Noir]

Heh. This is just becoming hilarious now.

[Pete_Noir]

Pfft. For me, it's Amiga brand popcorn or nothin'.
