Any news on future release of OS4 netbook or on Natami?

[haywirepc]

Your right that is better!

Either way, my statement was they thought they could get those ppc
laptops dirt cheap,  port os4 to them and then... "rob the community." for those outdated spec ppc laptops.

I guess it didn't work out.

Silly amiga grave robbers, next gen amiga laptops are for AROS and MorphOS.

Reasonably priced... Working nicely and here today.

Some how you haven't understand how capitalism works. You make a decision, so it is your own problem if you feel rxped after that.

I would be perfectly happy with dirt cheap laptop with OS4. Some people are like cancer, always spreading negative feelings to ohers.

Perhaps "surprise sex the community"?

"Jerry Lee Lewis to his First Cousin the Community"?

"Catholic Priest to Altarboy the community"?

"dirt cheap laptop with OS4"

But your missing the point. It would have been a dirt cheap laptop, but somehow because it could run the magical os4, it would not have been dirt cheap to
the community.

A dirt cheap to the community laptop with os4 with make actual business
sense. Lets not get crazy and start expecting that all of a sudden.

:laugh1:

Bilgerat is much more creative than me.

[yssing]

Well they did initially state a few hundred, so that is dirt cheap.

Anyway I would prefer to get information from a reliable source rather than the usual AOS bashers.

[haywirepc]

I don't mean to be a basher, but come on man, they make this announcement, then they just forget about it when it does not happen? At least explain the delay or say they cancelled the project...

As far as AOS bashers, I don't mean to be so harsh but I just think when you
price something so high that even big fans of amiga can not afford it, or justify the high cost with the 10 year old spec hardware, its kind of shooting yourself in the foot.

Making product announcements of a low cost alternative then just pretending
that announcement did not happen when people ask about where the product
is...? thats shooting yourself in the other foot.

Because of the high cost, I got into AROS instead of AOS. Truthfully though,
I spend most of my hobby computer time on linux now.

man!  Right now I am going crazy with the Rpi and all the crazy OSes being ported to it.

CommodoreJohn turned me onto RISC OS, which is pretty nice, even if they had some weird 21 bit scheme for a while (WTF Acorn?  Had to British it all up, did you?).

Now, they have Plan9 (from outer space - couldn't resist :laugh1: ) for it as well, which is pretty fascinating.

It is actually a pretty nice time for obscure OSes these days.

It will be declining due to the introduction of the Direct Brain Implant PC.  

It's called beer where I'm from. ;-)

Risc OS on the Pi is AWESOME. Just what Amiga OS should be, in the right hardware.
And it was 26 bits, not 12!! hahaha! It only affected the program counter in some situations, so many old time Archimedes software works natively on the Pi.

then sit and wait for a dis-announcement from a reliable source if you insist. it can take forever, but if it is what you prefer.. btw, its os4 bashers, not aos bashers. i think we all favour amiga, but not necessarily everything that just claims to be it.

Something would be nice, but I can wait.

The only problem is, that I am sort of holding my money for this notebook, rather than buying a Sam based system.
So if I am not the only one that are waiting for the notebook. They might give us some news, since it can't be good for ACube

There's been no news for a year and the Sam boards are more powerful and more flexible.  If you think a 440/460 would satisfy your Amiga NG needs then go for it now.  I wouldn't wait around for something we have seen so much as a screenshot of.

Natami project is dead, or not?  Anyone?

As dead as the mythical OS4 NetBook I'm afraid.

The FPGA Arcade on the other hand looks like it might start shipping in numbers one of these days.

NATAMI.... so much work, so much progress, so much hype -- such a waste if it's dead and buried now.
