Quick Question. I saw a tablet I was thinking about getting off the amiga.com store. When I cruse this store awhile ago it looks like it had the same stuff. Has anyone bought from there recently and does anyone know the turn around time?
Another reason I ask is because I see that Amiga Xpedio 10 MT and the Amiga Xpedio 10 MTL are up-gradable to Honeycomb 3.0. However, Honeycomb has been out for a while and is at level 3.2 (at least when I saw the Zoom). Would be nice if it came with 3.1 or 3.2.

Amiga.com is a crock. It has nothing to do with actual Amiga stuff, they just own the name.
-
The lack of logic by people on this board really amazes me. How does owning the old Amiga trademark name make them a crock or somehow evil and untrustworthy? With logic like that, you must think the person who owns the amiga.org domain is shady too, but you're happy enough to use their web site. It's no wonder that the spirit of Amiga is dying off and no one wants to participate here anymore. All the incessant trolling by the copyright and trademark clowns is disgusting. This entire site has been taken over by arm-chair lawyers who do nothing but rant about the Amiga name or CUSA. If you don't like their products, don't buy them. It's that simple. Please grow up and stop all the trolling, whining and ranting about companies who now, for good or bad, use the old Amiga trademark. I don't think the adults who still linger here really give a sh@t.

You will have to look up the AInc history for you own conclusions.
This site has plenty of history in that respect.

These companies are crocks because they're using the "Amiga" name to hawk things that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do in any way with the Amiga. Amiga.org I'm okay with because it's actually about the Amiga.

@ ferrellsl
Anyone who uses the Amiga name to sell crocks full of **** just to try and make a quick buck deserves to be called everything under the sun and strung up by the goolies... ;)
It's quite simple leave the Amiga name & legacy alone and stop using it to sell off the shelf tat at stupid prices that you can pick up in the bargain bin of your nearest pound/ dollar store... ;)
If someone really wants to use a well know name to sell overpriced crap then why do they never use Apple or Microsoft names to do so, these companies deserve all they get for trying to cash in on the Amiga name especially when it has sod all to do with the Amiga... :)
So if that makes you an "Adult" for being too chicken to speak out against things you don't like then toddle of and be a boring "Adult" elsewhere... :)

Ya'll do realize that Uncle Bill STILL owns Amiga Inc., right?
As far as the product goes, Bill is just licensing the name.
Bill has nothing to do with the product otherwise!
Besides, why don't you go get an HP Touchpad for only $100.00!
(if you can fight thru all the unemployed cockroaches into the door!)
Now, back to your regularly scheduled suckfest! :)
Hey Franko, How's it going Buuuuuuuuuuuddy? :)

So what else is new? People have been using trade names in this manner since the dawn of time. It's the same in the auto industry. The Jaguar name was bought up by a big US car maker and now they slap that name on their crap cars under the guise of a quality luxury car. The new Jags are nothing like the old Jags.....sad but true. But you don't see me constantly whining and trolling about it on automobile forums. I have a life. You've probably posted 3000 times about how you hate CUSA and Amiga.com. We get it. Please give us all a break and start posting something worthwhile for a change. We're tired of the same old broken record damn it! IF you don't like them or their product, don't buy from them. But please stop making everyone else miserable because you have issues with trademark names. The man had a question about a product. He doesn't need clowns like you hijacking the thread and turning it into a rant about the Amiga trademark. He was asking for help and he gets a troll. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Very productive use of time
The Amiga name isn't sacred, so yes, do us a favor and please grow up and act like an adult, even if you're NOT an adult. If you're looking for sacred names, go find a religion.

This isn't about the Amiga name. They are just trying to warn this person about dealing with a sketchy company like Amiga Inc. Chill out man!
I wonder if the tablets are even real or if they are a front to make them look active. Maybe someone should send them an email asking about them?

Doesn't mean we're obligated to like it.

Not enough of a life to keep you from coming here, reading people bitching about Amiga, Inc., and bitching about people bitching about Amiga, Inc., apparently.

Nobody's obligating you to read this, or any of anybody's other posts. The "Ignore" button exists for a reason.

Name issues aside, anybody wanting to know about a company associated with Bill McEwen deserves to be notified of the various **** that has gone down in his little constellation of licensees.

Maybe it's not sacred, but I'd sure like to see it used to refer to things that actually have to do with the Amiga, myself.

Better to go on eBay and buy one direct from China, like they did! It'll be cheaper.

@ ferrellsl
Put it this way if I wanted a Jag I'd buy an original and not be conned by someone who bought the name and sells overpriced crap at inflated prices just because they now own the name but as I don't like cars I couldn't care less about Jaguar but I do care about the Amiga and all it's legacy in the world of home computing... ;)
Now if that's what you call that pathetic wee made up internet name "Trolling" then being the "Adult" you claim to be, don't you think it's time you stopped using silly wee made up net geek talk just to try and make you sound "cool"... ;)
3000 times... bollocks... apart from the simple fact your gibbering keech here, I never even mentioned CUSA and haven't done so for a long time so what the frig your rattling your wallies about I have no idea and I don't think you do either... ;)
You were the one who hijacked this thread with your "Adult" chat, moaning about other moaning, so get it right in future before you start "hijacking" threads just moan about things or get an "adult" to type your posts in future and perhaps they make begin to make some sense... :)
PS: The Amiga name may not mean anything to you so why the frig do you read anything about it... weirdo... :)
Now pardon me while I go do some real "adult" stuff like stare at the latest 3D style games and pee my pants with excitement and then place an order for the latest piece of overpriced junk just co it has the name "Amiga" on it somewhere... :)

Weak minded people like you never cease to amaze me. Whenever you're too weak minded to offer up an argument, you stoop to name calling. Your trolling and name calling got you banned a while back and I'm hoping they'll ban you again. You offer nothing but snide comments and you flame whoever disagrees with your overbearing rants. As I said earlier, if you and your trolling cohorts had actually read the thread-starter's question and wanted to be of assistance, you'd have answered his question. But you insist on taking over every thread and turning it into an anti-Amiga rant. I don't give a rat's a@@ who owns the Amiga trademark and obviously neither does the thread-starter nor do most other people who visit here. So I'll stoop to your level and call you names since that's all you seem to understand. It's "clowns" like you who've driven most of the reasonable people away from here.
As for your adult status, I'm just one of many who question your maturity level here. You're only out for your own sake. I do have another name that I'll use to describe you as well. You're an "attention whore". Too bad you have to stink up the web to get what you want. You've obviously alienated any real people in your life by your antics so now you have to stoop to using the web to get your jollies since no one in their right mind can stand to be around you in person.....sad....really sad....

If you are willing to buy an inflated priced android tablet with an amiga logo on it, go nuts.
It's commodity $90 hardware (at best). Nothing custom, and already out of date by a long shot.

@ ferrellsl
Gosh after reading that load of pish I can only assume your talking about yourself... :)
Actually, can't even think of one "real person" i've alienated as people I know are the exact opposite of an "attention whore" like yourself and they actually know how to laugh and enjoy themselves instead of being a highly opinionated pompous @rsehole like you... :)
PS: take your own advice and stop taking over this thread with the absolute $hite your drivelling here... ;)
I'm not sad actually, I'm happy... really, really happy... :D

Wait, I'm confused. How does a rant about people abusing the "Amiga" trademark to refer to things that have nothing to do with the actual Amiga qualify as an "anti-Amiga rant?" Seems if anything it'd be pro-Amiga.
You've obviously alienated any real people in your life by your antics so now you have to stoop to using the web to get your jollies since no one in their right mind can stand to be around you in person.....sad....really sad....

Wow, there you go again with all your creative arguments. You remind me of my 8-year old duaghter, but even she can come up with more reasonable arguments than you. You're the biggest attention whore I've ever encountered and there was even a poll on amiga.org to see how many people wanted you to be permanently banned due to your childish antics. So you're the KING of attention whores in my book.
Yeah, there aren't any real people left in your life to alienate, so the web is all you have left. Happy my a@@.....you seem like a bitter, lonely old man who has driven all his real friends and family away and who has nothing better to do than name-call anyone who disagrees with you. Especially if it has anything to do with the Amiga trademark. No real friends or real life left in the real world, so you stoop to using the web to make everyone in your cyber world miserable.....Good job....you've driven countless people on the web away from here because of your twisted need for attention.

Actually I'm a real psychologist and I think you're a manifestation of one of Franko's many faces.....multiple personality disorder with extreme hostility. You an Franko are one in the same.......Franko can get "attention x 2" if he has a secondary personality and another logon account. Oh, and my rates aren't cheap, even if I accept your health insurance. The co-pay is $200 per hour.

@ ferrellsl
Obviously you haven't the slightest idea about anything you are rattling your gums at here... ;)
Arguing... who's arguing... not me... :)
I'm just replying in kind to a total dunderheid who can't get it through his thick skull and into his only living brain cell that he (that being you) doesn't realise that all sh!te he's gibbering is obviously about a **** call "ferrellsl"... :)
Strange how all you diddies who moan about my posts don't realise that the very same complaints can easily be applied to themselves 10 times over but then maybe it's not so strange really as you are obviously as thick as sh!te... :)
Also strange how you and all the other wankers call me childish and an "attention whore" and yet it's always you ****s who resort to armchair Psychiatrists role in determining how sad, unhappy and lonely you diagnose me as being... :rolleyes:
Methinks... no in fact meknows... that these opinions are obviously based on your own sad little existence's and all the crap you post is actually just a subconscious reflection on your own miserable little life... ;)
Me I'm happy, far from lonely and I really enjoy knowing that I can wind up some absolute **** sitting gawd knows where in the world with just a few simple little posts... :D
Kinda obvious who the sad, lonley and childish ones are when all they have to do with their lives is diagnose the ramblings of others on a daft computer forum... ;)
So continue with your rambling as it's fun, and scream blue murder that I'm just here to wind up tossers like yourself (told you that months ago but you obviously don't listen), me I'll just sit here with a big grin on my face thinking about your wee bitter face screwing itself up while you try to come up with your next expert diagnosis about little old me... :)
(Gawd... to think I actually paid to see a Psychiatrist when I could have just signed up here and got all these diagnoses for the price of a membership...) ;)

Hahaha, oh man. I think this is the first time I've been accused of being a sock-puppet...if you like I'll give you my phone number, which is in the US country code (protip: Scotland is not in the US, last I checked,) and you can call me and confirm that I sound nothing at all like Franko. (http://amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=58760)
(Besides which, he and I don't agree on everything; I like 3D games all right and he hates 'em vociferously, for one.)
(And I'd think a "real psychologist" would have a bit more tact than to call people "weak-minded" for thinking that companies shouldn't use the Amiga trademark to hawk wares completely unrelated to the Amiga. But hey, I guess not!)

Hey, the entire point of the thread was that some poor sole wanted some advice on buying an android tablet.....a point that you and your other personality id and ego totally missed. Franko turns it into a rant about trademarks and then you run to Franko's defense. Franko doesn't need any help to look stupid, he does that well enough on his own, but you seem to think he needs assistance. As for tact, I've never had ANY of that as my wife can attest.

@ ferrellsl
A Psychologist is a poor mans Psychiatrist who quite simply wasn't clever enough to get the degrees to become to become a Psychiatrist... :)
Plus at $200 (£121) per hour you can't be a very good one... ;)
I pay £225 per hour for my Psychiatrist and I drive him mental just to make sure I'm getting my money's worth... :)
You'd best stick to doing your own self diagnosis and treating small animals with psychological disorders, disturbed Hamsters, that sort of thing... ;)
Me... I'll stick to winding up the numpties and gibbering jobbies for all my imaginary friends... :D

So about 5 or so posts ago a mod should have stepped in and closed this thread.
The OP wanted some advice, the advice would be to not buy. Reason, nothing to do with amiga.com apart from the tablet is out of date, and over priced.
If you are keen on something Android check out Ebay. As for the rest of the thread in regards to school ground one up manship ignore.
-
@ferrellsl
Amiga (.com) stole money from the community, get over it. Took the fees but never returned the product.
-
I would recommend a HP Touchpad they are going for as little as $99 if you can find one in the US. And their are efforts out their now to get Android on the device failing that look on ebay for a tablet or a second hand ipad 1.
If you really want an Amiga tablet I would recommend getting it from Icontain store more than Amiga.com
http://www.icontainstore.com/products/Xpedio-8%22-Tablet.html
But I would be careful as on Amiga Inc facebook page already one customer is complaining where his tablet is, luckily protected by PayPal.

Get over what? I really don't give a sh@t what Amiga.com did to you or to the Amiga community. It's Franko who can't get over whatever they did. That's been my point. That and the fact that no matter what the thread topic, he takes it over and begins ranting about how amiga.com f@cked up his entire world. I think everyone who uses this web site is aware of that and very tired of it.

As I said earlier, you seem to think that the Amiga trademark is sacred. If you're looking for sacred, go find a religion. Normal people really don't care who or what is done with the Amiga trademark name. Oh, but I forget....You're setting up your own twisted religion where you're the God of Amiga.org and we all have to bow down and worship you no matter what the thread subject.

Nope... I hate religion even more than I hate rip off merchants using the Amiga name to sell crap... ;)
Normal people... if "Normal people" don't care about the Amiga name that's fine by me, but I'm a true Amiga fan and have been since it's launch so if that makes me abnormal or some kind of nutter, then I'm proud to be an abnormal nutter Amiga fan who does care about the legacy of the greatest home computer ever invented... :)
Now if what you call "Normal" is being like you, a sad moaning faced little git with nothing better to do than visit Amiga sites just to moan about others who actually enjoy and care about the Amiga, then all I can say is, thank gawd I aint "normal"... ;)
PS: "Normal" is for boring, sad, retarded, humourless gits just like you... :)
-
Thanks guys. Interesting read. Looking into it all, I'll be buying a nook. It runs honeycomb that can be rooted as well as run Flash. For $249, I don't see any other tablet doing that for that price. The $99 I tried getting but good luck. Could not find any available. All sold out.
-
Amiga.com is evil - nothing more to say.
-
Has anyone bought one of these? OP please don't buy one and take the advice of the others and get something better and cheaper on ebay or craiglist/gumtree.
I think to compare CUSA with Amiga.com is unfair.
CUSA have actually produced something in their homage to the C64 and it is a damn site better than a tablet with a sticker on it.
edit: what is the icontain Amiga store for? Is it something someone has done just to highlight how everpriced amiga.com offerings are?
-
@ferrells,
Did you say that the owner of Amiga.org was shady, if so what does that make his moderators?
OMG it is a frappin takeover. The owner of Amiga.org, the moderators, CUSA, Amiga, and wilson.
What next?
People who left, armchair lawyers, and doctors.
No wonder no one wants to be here anymore.

You must be kidding, CUSA is a bunch of ambulance chasers riding on the coattails of the Commodore name making useless products that have absolutely nothing to do with the c64. They are neither furthering it,improving it,or even duplicating it. their products are no better than a tablet with a sticker. If you cant see this you must not know what a c64 is.

How do you figure that? $1000-1500 for a poorly-ventilated run-of-the-mill $300-500 i7 setup in a fancy case? (And that's not even touching on their laughable plans for the "Amiga" trademark.) If anything I'd say they're worse.
-
@mechy,
Who is riding on the coat tails of CommodoreJohn, and making useless products, didn't know that CommodoreJohn could make useless products, boy when he hears this he is really, really going to be angry.
@ferrells,
Is that the sweet smell of Franko that I smell?
Hey be cool, Franko is just addicted to the Amiga, every time he uses the Amiga he goes on the ultimate high and gets angry at anyone who tries to bring back the old girl in new clothing.
@Franko,
Have you been smoking your Amiga again, you have really got to stop, the Amiga's are getting rarer and rarer every day.
===============================================================
Quick Question. I saw a tablet I was thinking about getting off the amiga.com store. When I cruse this store awhile ago it looks like it had the same stuff. Has anyone bought from there recently and does anyone know the turn around time?
===============================================================
@mistermsk,
I looked at the same tablet on Amiga.com as you are looking at?
Looks pretty classy, but I settled for an android tablet from TigerDirect.com. OK I really can't say anything about Amiga.com because it is their business and no one has the right to tell them how to run their business. If they cheated people (as they say on this site) about amiga shirts, then these people should get together and bring charges against Amiga.com.
The only thing I can say is if you like it, don't mind spending the money, then buy it, but first ask for a document in writing and with signatures that you can have a 30 day trial period on the device that you think you like. Most creditable companies will let you try their product for a time period. This way you get to try it, use it, and see if it fits your needs.
Now for all you people putting down companies like CUSA, Amiga.com, Argos, minimig, sam440 etc.
What would you do to bring out a more modern Amiga? What would you improve? keep?
Get rid of? using modern tech.
It is easy to criticize, call them crooks, robbers etc. It is just business.
Personally I like Cloanto's Amiga Forever. Really looks good on my PC, works better than my A4000, and I wouldn't really know I wasn't using an Amiga if I didn't boot up the computer. So I really do have my modern day Amiga, with gigs of memory, terabytes of hard drive space, USB, Memory plug ins, modern day printers, and players that can play movies and music CD's. but it isn't from CUSA. Also have C64 on the same machine. So I have everything, I can play modern day games on Windows, do my office work on Ubuntu, use my Amiga software on AF, and my C64 software on my C64 emulator. No complaints.

Wan the best bang for the buck get a Toshiba Thrive tablet. For the price it is great. The low end is $399 and it has a dual core processor, honeycomb OS, full size and miniUSB, only 8GB storage, but heck you can use a micro SD card if you want more. Overall the specs, and responsiveness of the tablet is great. But then again i still prefer my laptop over tablets, but they are nice for certain things (and showing off of course), but still the full KB and functionality of a laptop (a good one) can't be beat. Just my two cents. Far as the Amiga.com store goes and thier tablets I have no idea, seems alright but then again i have never bought from them before.

All I am saying is they have developed something.
It looks like a C64 and most people who know what a C64 is would recognise it.
It is capable of running C64 games.
For all it would be great to see the Natami and the X1000 they have yet to come to fruition, so at least the C64x has something in it's favour.
CUSA do deserve credit for the publicity they generated and for actually trying something ambitious.
No such thing as bad publicity as the cliche goes :)
@ franko although I am sure my opinions re C64 annoy you, it is great to see someone on the forum using words like Dunderheid!!!
