Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

[wawrzon]

That case looks pretty good.

i think the case looks rather selfmade, probably mimicking aeon design before it become available. the logo seems to be adhesive foil print lot much alike the photos of prototype case posted on awnet. but i might err.

This is just great   Now let's have enough software/games to run on it and they might get my credit card number.

[Kesa]

That's cool. Did they change the case design with the boing ball? It looks different. So now that someone has actually got one of these things does anyone know what we can do with the xmos? Also is the cost justified?

[commodorejohn]

Hmm. Well, it's real, it's not a generic x86 board, and at the very least it's less expensive than the Barrymiga. Still not something I'd pay $2300 for, though.

Also, am I the only one who doesn't actually like the boing-ball as a logo? Checkmark was way better.

I feel the same, that's why I chose it as our official logo.

+1 for checkmark logo

[runequester]

Definately prefer the checkmark. I guess there's some trademark issues though, at least a while back when I asked amigakit about providing a keyboard with the checkmark on it

Not for us there isn't, any product we launch will proudly display the rainbow checkmark logo.

Well, that plus perhaps:

After 13 years, the Boing Ball became the official logo, finally banishing the ghost of the Amiga checkmark.

People might also find this document helpful in understanding decisions made:

The intention, given time, is to keep this document up to date.

At £1500 I'm not interested, at £750 I would consider it, at £500 I probably would buy it....

[Jose]

Checkmark all the way here!

Yeah, well, I'm long past care what is or isn't official ;P Checkmark forever!

But PPC Macs can run Windows up to and including XP Professional  in emulation .

Being a hobbyist and home user,I COULD set up my G4 to boot  into Mac OS Leopard,Ubuntu (or another)  Linux,or MorphOS.

Run Windows using Virtual PC in Mac OS.

Run OS4 emulation in Morph OS ?

Probably can run some emulators of old consoles in MacOS or even run emulators in Windows (itself running in emulation).

Might have to rename my computer Sybil.

Having at least Yellow Dog Linux at least as full wrapped package with OpenOffice, Firefox etc. would be good for X1000. Sadly, even A-EON decided just to do Linux kernel

[Tension]

still can't believe they announced this sooo long ago, saying 'we wont have to wait til summer' etc. what a joke. Something must've been SERIOUSLY wrong with the boards they had when the announcement was made.

Even that the boards were posible to produce at that time (which we have seen just recently), AmigaOS 4 wasn`t mature at all to support the board features. Now we see beta testing is needed for NEW AmigaOS features

Here you can read about the hardware side of the X1000.
Beta testers finally have hands on it. Now, we need AmigaOS 4.2 developed for good of all, and Amiga will be back .. in 2011/2012?
