Both can co-exist in a household.
Strictly speaking this is true; however,
neither can exist in the first place if the focus keeps jumping back and forth between one or the other while neither of them have even been made.
A port back then could have led to AmigaOS being a major player in the tablet space by now. Too late now.
Not a chance. The tablet market has been about proprietary, vendor-controlled software for years now, and
certainly since the iPad made them trendy and people actually started buying them. A
non-proprietary OS, on which people can install any software they like right out of the box, would be anathema.
Minds like you is what ruined commodore, a tablet will be sold in more units than any computer even if it is driven by a exoticOS (= AmigaOS)
Wow, li'l old me, a corporation-slayer? Why, I never knew I had it in me! I was just pointing out that spastically jumping between projects as the trend-winds change is going to result in
no units being sold, but if we want to go there: why do you think that an "Amiga" tablet is going to sell more than an "Amiga" computer? Certainly not because the target market for tablets (teenagers and twenty-somethings with too much money, middle-aged people who are scared by real computers) have any idea what the Amiga is or feel any loyalty to it. Not because of technical superiority either, because any desktop OS is going to be ass on a tablet. Or do you think the existing Amiga community is going to run out and buy a hundred thousand tablets each?
I had to check wether this was Amiga.org or OldDuffers.org, it's funny how fans of a computer that changed the world 25 years ago now piss and moan about tablets, the most transformative innovation in the computer world in the last two decades.
Wake up and smell the coffee, if there even is a netbook market in 2015 it'll be lumped in the "other" category as statistically irrelevant.
"It's the future! It's totally the future because Steve Jobs
said it was the future, so there,
nyeah! You can't disagree with him because he's richer than you, and now that he's dead the Pope's probably gonna canonize him!"
Tablet = laptop - keyboard - useful OS - freedom of choice in software - hard drive. Yeah,
that's innovation.
I believe that the OS is slowly becoming less relevant with the trend of moving everything into the cloud. A system just needs a good browser with up to date support for all the various standards.
Ahh, "the cloud," that magical invention of magic wherein your data ascends to a higher plane of existence, free from the toil and suffering of this physical world, to a Gnostic sort of heaven where it is freed from the corruption of the flesh forever and exists in a transcendent state of Pure Mind. Come one, come all, to the Temple of the Cloud, to speak with your data through the Spirit Links!
What's that? You say that it's
not absolved of its physical nature? That it has been spirited away to a data center in Texas? But, but, that's a
real place! Things can
happen to it there! Why, if the Internet weren't faster than a hard drive, there wouldn't be any advantage
at all to "the cloud!"
...what? It's
not?...Oh.
