In the actual IT landscape, who really fears Amiga competition
Absolutely no one.

I disagree. What about BBRV ?
 :-D

Well, Intel has a relatively low power Pentium-M product line. Pentium-M @1.6Ghz was noted to run normal office apps like a Pentium 4 @2.5Ghz.

http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.html?i=1800&p=14
(So much for the solely MHz = good, Intel just debunked it's own myth)...

http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.html?i=1800&p=8
(Pentium-M's operating frequency, voltages and Thermal Design Power).

There are potential known vendors for low power computing enabled devices;
1. Transmeta (Hardware) .
2.  Microsoft via it’s WindowsXP Embedded (OS and Software).
3. VIA (Hardware).
4. Various X86 Linux variant vendors (OS and Software) .
5. Intel via Pentium-M/Centrino CPU  (Hardware)..
6. AROS (open sourced AmigaOS clone, mostly for X86).
The main strength of points 1 to 5 will be commonality with the massive X86 market.

Outside X86
1. Intel, via it's StrongArm.
2. AMD, via it's MIPS series CPUs.
3.  Microsoft via it’s Windows CE (OS and Software).
4. 'etc'
5. Various Linux/*nix vendors.

Both MOS and AOS camp will have to approach this market with care.

As for X86 Server farms threats refer to
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=X86+Server+farms&meta=
Amiga 1200 PiStorm32-Emu68-RPI 4B 4GB.
Ryzen 9 7900X, DDR5-6000 64 GB, RTX 4080 16 GB PC.

Fascinating stuff. The P-M @ anandtech, that is...

And a very good rundown on the actual competitors !

I forgot about Transmeta... Nice of you to include AROS :)

Oh well, what a *big* bunch !

Heck, we might even see the birth of a new market as well, just like the A1000/500 started a whole new hype...

I thinks I'm way too tired to state on such things... 04.02 here... Call it a day 8-)

But neither the A1 nor Pegasos really offer tv companies or NASA anything out of the box.



I must say that NASA, would definitely be interested!!!

They could have a self contained computer, re-boots in seconds, almost RTOS, HIGHLY flexible (the original reason they  used it), and completely solid state (booting off of a CF card).

Windows CE you say? I think NOT. I've used it. It seems to have problems multi-tasking, bloatware, and NOT a full blown OS, having been programmed, in my case, to fit a 32 meg, environment. Frankly, I'm always watching its' ram consumption, while using it, because it slows down/crashes, otherwise. This is my wince3.0 experience. Oh, and the touch screen always stops working in 2 weeks to 4 months???? (Requires a reset).

AmigaOne! Don't screw around with the OS guys, it could run UNALTERED on PDAs!!  :-)

P.S. Therefore the same SW code could run on your desktop, or palmtop.
\\"Which would you buy? The Crappy A1200, 15 years out of date... or the Mobile Phone that I have?\\" -- bloodline
So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

At the times around the demise of CBM, somewhere around 1993, I recall reading in a serious newspaper that some dept. of the NASA were eagerly waiting for a bunch of 4000s to be shipped to them, and they did not arrive, IIRC.

What the tech guy was saying, I recall vivdly, is that "This is the fastest re-booting computer ever. We NEED this feature in the project"

He also said "the money is there, what are those guys doing" ?
