CodeWarrior(TM) Development Tools for intent let developers create and deploy content and applications for a multitude of media devices with a minimal amount of porting. This includes set-top boxes, PDAs, mobile phones, VCRs, DVDs, and digital cameras.

AA? Meaning the chipset? I know CodeWarrior is available on Classic Mac, was it available for Amiga at one time as well?  When Amiga was still around (w/ Commodore) I just used it for games and word processing. :)

"The product can be purchased direct from Metrowerks at http://www.metrowerks.com/buy/ at a price of US$4995 per license"

Well, thats not an option for many of the Amiga coders out there or did I miss something?

Anyway, a little costy for me...

That price is a bit steap but that may be a site license.  I do know that Metrowerks is great for student purchases.  Also, I couldn't find the correct package on the /buy/ page so it may/maynot be right.  We'll see how it goes though.

It would have been great if it ran on top of intent. But now it is only for windows machines.

(suddenly $100 SDK sounds superb cheap)

According to their corporate home page, Metrowerks became an independently operating subsidiary of Motorola in September of 1999.

No, meaning the Amiga Anywhere ;0)
I hope AInc steps into the process and CW will be available for a reasonable price with some next SDK...
( hmm... okay stop dreaming ;-) )

Hmm... I stand corrected on this one.  I wonder if there is a student version... I still have my lifetime student ID available (damn nazi theaters charging $9 for matinee or $4 for student).

$5000 is show stopper!  The discription does not say if this is the Enterprise version or standard or whatever.

I use Codewarrior for Palm and it only cost $200. and the Linux version only costs $150.  These are not student prices but standard version prices.

The $5000 price is for the Embedded Developer Tool Kit.  Most of the other Embedded versions are also $1200 - $5000.

I would think they will come out with a Standard and Student version before too long.

...and to think I thought QT embedded was high.

Does it include a Toolkit for building the user-interface?

For now, I'll stick with UltraEdit in Win32 and CodeCrusader in Linux (from: www.newplanetsoftware.com/jcc).
