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

No news on the netbook, maybe Hyperion will release some info in October at the show.   The funny thing is that everyone is more interested in tablets now

Speak for yourself.  I have no interest in an oversized smart phone.

Tablet Sales Overtook Netbook Sales in Q2 2011

Imagine what the Netbook market will be like in 2013/2014.

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

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.

Funny how some people can't understand why people like me have absolutely no need for a tablet.  How many tablet users only have a tablet?  Very few, I bet.

@ Polyp2000

I agree they can be useful in certain circumstances (I do a lot of travelling too).  I just can't see myself buying one just for the 2 hours a month when it might be useful.  

I'm happy to unpack my laptop if necessary and it runs for 5-6 hours without charging.  Any minor stuff like reading emails or surfing the web can be done on my cellphone.

I think my main worry about a tablet is breaking it or losing it.  A laptop is too big to lose and a cellphone fits in the pocket.  Tablets come inbetween.

So can anybody actually state for a fact what the new intended specs for thge Natami are going to be?

@ matthey:

Thanks.  That sounds awfully close to what the FPGA Arcade is going to give us with the daughterboard expansion.  I'll be interested to see what (if any) expansion slots might be included in the design.

I'm hoping a PCI slot is included just to allow a good PCI graphics card.
