The Amiga Sermo series of mobile phones leverage Google’s Android operating system and IContain’s technologies to bring industry leading handsets to RTO customers. Leading the charge is the Sermo I — boasting a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Android Froyo 2.2, and a huge 4.3″ touchscreen.

That's lovely, another bog-standard generic product with shameless brand-whoring. Do you think if we all pitch in, we can get enough to have someone shove it into one of McEwen's orifices?
-
Interesting concept, but a mobile OS from 2008 on outdated hardware, but I'm sure the Amiga name will sell a few, sadly.
-
Yawn.
-
This should be illegal...its immoral and offensive to the Amiga name.

Should be thankful they aren't making mentions of "continuing Jay Miner's great work" in the process like all the other graverobbers are, lol.

This seems to be upsetting the C-USA crowd so sure! Why the hell not.

Other old hardware piece with the logo "Amiga" to get our money. I don't buy this phone "Amiga".

Televisions, TablePCs, 3D TV, Notebooks, PCTV, everything where put the Amiga logo or the boingball, but nothing 100% Amiga truely, as are the Sams, X1000 or Minimig.

hmm...
if the price is ok(i mean dirty cheap) i would buy one. I have repaired my old Meizu M8 which is a nice phone. Dualbooting WinCE and Android.. AROS runs too. Even the x86 version in qemu : )
BTW. i believe my Meizu was the first phone on which AROS was running : p (well just emulated at this time but it worked)
By the way Meizu will launch the 1st Quadcore phone in the next months ; )
Android based and AROS hosted compatible ; )

Are these refurbed/renamed no sellers from a year ago?

I had an email exchange with Todd from iContain - it started when I emailed him to tell him no Amigan would consider buying his products.
He told me that he had had tried to contact Hyperion and got no response from them so I got in contact with Rogue and tried to set up a communication.
As far as I can tell, Todd never even bothered to try to contact Hyperion - he just pretended so he could whinge, and justify misusing the Amiga name for an Android phone (amongst other ridiculous products).
I have no objection to Android - indeed, I wish I'd waited a couple of months and got an Android instead of my Nokia. - just don't label it as Amiga.
I'm no more likely to buy anything from iContain than I am from C-USA. Clearly, Amiga, Inc gave them the rights to the name in an attempt to destabilise the market. I'll wait till there's a legitimate Amiga phone.
-
Great News! Finally a platform I can run my AmigaAnywhere apps on. ;)
Seriously though, It's not released yet and it is only spec'ed for Android 2.2. Android 4.0 is out now. The app I'm working on Targets 2.3 as a minimum API.
-
I wish A-Inc, Hyperion,etc, the best of luck.
I would love to get an AOS4.x machine and Aros on Android.
-
I'd avoid Froyo android phones like grim death. Android has come a long way and more modern versions are just super, but I never had anything but issues with Froyo.
What's the retail price on the Sermo "Amiga" phone anyways? Can't seem to find CPU specs on it, and Froyo was notorious for dragging ass speed wise on slower CPU phones.

How this is in NEWS????

It may be that he lied about trying to contact Hyperion, but my own experience has been that Hyperion does not respond to emails. I know you're thinking, why would they respond to an email from "jorkany@lolOS4sux.com", but I've used different addresses including my actual personal email account - never gotten a single response.
As for these iContain products, of course everyone knows it's bullcrap. The most blatant form of label engineering that there is.

What market?
Amiga Inc. own the name. Why wouldn't they try to make some money off of it?

This is a legitimate Amiga phone.

This is legitimate like Richard Nixon in drag is a woman.

I thought rape was illegal.

A friend of mine once put a “Pentium 4“ sticker (which he got from the cafeteria pc) on his Sharp GX25, just for the laughs and for teasing uncles and other old people. But if you buy any of these “Amiga“ phones, once anyone finds out the “Amiga“ logo on your phone is engraved and not a sticker, and that you ‘ve basically paid for meaningless branding, they “ll be laughing at you, not with you.
-
I dont understand... amiga phones? android? maybe android phone with some sticker.
-

There is nothing illegal about raping a smartphone or tv set. It really jus means you are awesome.

anyone notice they now have their own Facebook page

Amazingly Amiga Anywhere may not be dead.
"AmigaAnywhere 2 was pulled off the market as we changed our market focus. The technology is still under development in order to take an expanded roll in our vision. We cannot make our vision for AA2 public at this time for competitive reasons.:roflmao: We will be making public announcements regarding this when the time is appropriate."
So Apple you better WATCH OUT!

As you have been one of the most prolific trolls about here for many years and don't often disguise the fact. I'm sure it had something to do with the wording of those emails, it wouldn't take the brains of an archbishop to figure out who their from.

YES! More non-Amiga hardware with Amiga stickers! Just what we need :(
Can't they start making A1200s again (yes, I'm being naive :p).
-
These products are just as legitimately “Amiga" as Amiga One and Sam products or Hyperion OS4.
-
Well, one's gotta admit it's just as much brand diluting as Petro's Amiga socks and playing cards were brand mockery!

The Friedens wrote software for AOS 3.x and Hyperion ported games to the classic Amigas. They are as much Amiga s anything that are left of the Amiga. Do you hate just for the sake of hating?

What exactly am I accused of hating?
-
I have to agree with nicholas I am afraid.
As much as we hate it, Amiga INC owns the right to the Amiga Brand name. So anything licenced and using the Amiga name is legitimate and offical.
We don't have to like it, and one could say that it has nothing to do with the Original Amiga. But it the eyes of the law these things are more legitimate Amiga products than MiniMix, Natami, Morphos etc .

2008 is pretty recent, in Amiga terms.
Although I'm surprised they haven't tried to flog a PowerPC based phone..

Hey now, just because it's legal doesn't make it right. I've got nothing but respect for someone who has a loving relationship and corresponding healthy sex life with their appliances, but assault isn't cool no matter how casually the law looks upon it.

Who gives a damn about trademark law? People didn't just go along with New Coke simply because it was a legal use of a trademark.

Exactly my sentiments when it comes to OS4... :p ;)
