Title: Kyocera PDA and Tao intent = "Pocket Cosmo"
Post by: barryum on May 23, 2002, 10:10:28 AM

E3, Los Angeles, Ca., May 22nd 2002 - Kyocera Corporation has announced 'Pocket Cosmo', its next generation PDA based on Tao's intent® universal multimedia platform. This will be sold from the end of July, initially targeted at the networks and at corporate users. The Pocket Cosmo device will be able to deliver a new level of richer contents to the user. Kyocera believes that it is these richer contents that will drive the rapid growth of the mobile data communication market.

:-) Now this looks promising!  I wonder when there will be consumer versions, and how much they'll cost.  And whether Amiga OS 4.x will have any advantage connecting to these.
 
 
Take care...

OS 5 IIRC is where the AmigaDE and AmigaOS come together (AmigaDE IIRC is what Intent is based on)
So they should link together then IMO :-)

no, in theory AmigaDE is gonna be part of AOS as of AOS4.2

As someone said, DE is planned to be ported to AmigaOS4.2.

>(AmigaDE IIRC is what Intent is based on) So they should link together then IMO  

No. It's the other way around. AmigaDE is based on intent.

IMHO: so far the mentioned PDA has not any connection to AmigaDE/AA, at least not yet.


cheers

We don't have all the details yet but it seems that Intent can run self hosted :)

can it play games! I hope so because this can beat Nintendo and Sony's a**! Let us hope a big game company like Konami pitches in. :roll:
