(28-Jul-2002) Amiga, Inc. and Sendo announced today that Amiga Anywhere and Amiga Anywhere content will be shipped with, and extended content made available for the Sendo multimedia Z100 Smartphone.

:-) The way things are going (with Amithlon 2 and athe AmigaOne) this may end up being the first "Amiga" I'll own.;-)
On a more serious note, I pray that this is a roaring success (despite the "ugly microsoft" components) as a garanteed revinue stream will help bring the Amiga back more than anything else at the moment.

*sigh* and looking at Sendos page i see no mention of this! only thing i do see is "Tao"...
-
yeah, but look at the date of the last item - 16-06-2002 ? thats 6 weeks ago !

There is mention of Amiga on Sendos webpage: http://www.sendo.co.uk/news/newsitem.asp?ID=55 (http://www.sendo.co.uk/news/newsitem.asp?ID=55)
Eighth paragraph down.
I know it is a small mention but its there.
I understand from Bill's speech that the full scale press release that he read out at the show and now appears on Amiga Inc's site, Will soon appear on Sendo's website.

Makes you wonder what "well-known, vast Amiga entertainment catalogue" refers to.

At least now they have some money coming in, and a public display of going somewhere.
-
I am begining to be more sceptic, There have been a lot of partner up until now, but almost all of them have backed down.
Maybe because amiga nevers shows anything.
or is amiga anywhere/DE just around the corner now ?
-
Amiga did create the DE player. :-) That counts for something.

Learn to read, amiga is mentioned here: http://www.sendo.com/news/newsitem.asp?ID=55 (http://www.sendo.com/news/newsitem.asp?ID=55)
Also Fathammer’s X-Forge™ 3D Game Engine, which allows games developers to produce very high-quality graphics games, is expected to be available. Last month, Sendo also licensed Tao’s Group intent ® multimedia Java platform, which opens the device up for Java J2ME MIDP compliant applications and titles from the well-known, vast Amiga entertainment catalogue. Amiga Anywhere enables applications to run on a broad range of processors or operating systems including Smartphone 2002 and Sendo’s Z100
"vast Amiga entertainment catalogue. Amiga Anywhere"

Makes you wonder what "well-known, vast Amiga entertainment catalogue" refers to.
I don't know about 'vast' but there are over 20 titles in the following Amiga Anywhere Catalogue (http://www.amiga-anywhere.com/apps/index.php?cat=-1). Albeit, Mostly puzzle games.
There are quite a few more in development and are being added to the total.
I only hope that we have a more diverse choice. More arcade style titles are needed as that is what many people will associate with the Amiga name.

Well a solid UAE port to DE would certainly open up a 'vast' catalog of software. Then again if games are the focus, a Fellow port to DE would be more appropriate.
Although I really can't see pleasure in playing games on a cell phone! Tiny screen, microscopic buttons..eeew :-x

As an SDA developer myself, I can testify that this is, in fact, true. There should be a whole bunch of stuff released in the near future. There are all sorts of projects going on. The SDA mailing list is far from quiet :-)
-
;-) What you mean Patrick is spamming that list too? ;-)
I thought it was only the public lists that were going troppo :-o

Hmmm.. I must say, I was (am even more ;-) ) more interested in the O2 news....
-
O2 news? O2 as in the dutch cell phone provider?
Are they involved with amiga? :-?
/edit
Just saw the Sendo site and I was a bit surprised:
Sendo press release 16 April 02 (http://www.sendo.com/news/newsitem.asp?ID=55)
Sendo expects to be able to offer at launch games like ‘The Untouchables Pin Ball’ and a range of games from Mobile Scope. The Swiss company Incagold is porting their award winning ‘Slamtilt’, pinball machine".
Slamtilt?? THE Slamtilt? Now that _would_ be a cool game to play on your cell phone :-).

Id rather play it on an Amiga ;-)
I cannot imagine any kind of feel from the priginal game to be letf in it for a cell phone.
