This is good for Amiga INC, but this is not what I've been waiting for. Sorry, but AmigaONE is no new Amiga for me. Its a PC clone.. PC hardware with PPC in it.

I just hope that the ColdFire project will change this, but when.. That uncertain.

Yeah, let's wait for Coldfire, the microwave, mobile and embedded devices chip. That's certainly Amigaish.

I think this is one of the best Updates ever on AInc:s
homepage. And by that I don't refer to the news (which
by all means IS very good and a good sign for the
future), but to the quality of the update itself. For once,
it's toned down and reasonably realistic. Don't know if I
have seen the words "limitied resources" ever before on
the corporate page. I wonder if this text is either that of a
severely sedated Bill mcEwen, or by the more toned-down
Fleecy/Alan-pair all together, sneaking it past editing from
the US office ;-)

 At any rate, this is a much more serious (and sincere)
text than most of the pure-PR updates previously posted
on amiga.com. Let's hope they can pull this off this time.

Great news.

The Amiga doesn't NEED a killer app (although one would be nice), what it DOES need is a bunch of standard apps like Word processors, graphics, sound, CD burning software, DVD software, etc.  Thanks to it's legacy it still has some decent stuff available but it needs NEW apps that run natively under OS4 in PPC.

Time to contact old developers and convince them to re-release their older apps in PPC format for OS4.

We have to appeal to those who, for whatever reason left the Amiga months and years ago but who still retain a fondness for their old platform


My opinion here is that ex-Amigans will wait and see what the current Amigans have to say about these new machines before putting money down for their own machines.  Benchmarks will reveal all.

If the machine is worthwhile for them, they'll come back.  Otherwise they'll stay away.

Of course, then there are the Jay Miner wannabes who claim the A1 is not a true Amiga.

UK is the 51st state and Blair is Bush's little puppet.

Nonono, Canada is the 51st state (they're in denial about it though until Quebec secedes) and UK is a territorial possession along the lines of Puerto Rico or Guam. ;-)

That should stir up some action. :lol:

I had a dream last night.  There was this massive train and it was carrying heaps of wagons, all had boing balls on them.  I opened one up as it arrived in a freight station and it was full of boxes labeled "AMI-G4-XE".  Then I went home in my dream and turned on the telly to see Bill speaking about amiga on a tech show.  Then I woke up with a big smile on my face.  



Dreams do come true..................

Why focus on the old 68k derive HW part? Amiga was not the only 68k box in the market btw.  

AInc's A1 approach was no different to Mac’s transition to PPC platform. I don’t see this as a problem.

The Cold Fire project isnt that much different from the AmigaOne. From what i can tell, its basicaly going to be a Coldfire CPU on a motherboard, and possibly a custone chip set, either Amiga or whatever else. But PCI slots and AGP will be avaliable (this is on the full system) so its pretty much going to be a Generic Coldfire board.

But then, you wont be able to run OS4 on it. Thats why ever one is getting the hardware. Hardware is better left generic (unless your in a specialist field) for home users. The OS is what you interface with, its what you use constantly.

But then again, if your more into hardware, then i guess thats your thing. I know hardware guys who dont care much more OSes and then most OS guys dont care much for hardware (like myself)...

So... whatever :)
