Commodore's Amiga, which arrived in the middle of the eighties, was pioneering when it comes to graphical interfaces and multi-media fuctions.

After a short time under Gateway's ownership the developement of Amiga OS has been commenced by US Amiga Inc in cooperation with the english company Eyetech and the SW developer Hyperion.

In the Aone Gothenburg 2002 Fall event, the visitors will be shown the new Amiga One. It has a PPC G3 CPU and supports up to 2 GB. The estimated price is 6000 kronor.

The OS Amiga OS 4 is currently only in beta, but should be ready late this year.

Eyetech, the company behind Amiga One G3-SE, has allready planned the next version. It's called Amiga One-XE and supports G4 CPUs at 700 MHz. On the other hand It'll cost 3000 kronor more.

Another sign on the newly awakened interest for Amiga-products is that PDA producers has announced support for the platform. Among them is Sendo, who will use Amiga Anywhere content engine in theit Smartphone.

Furthermore Amiga is cooperating with laptop producers who wants to deliver computers with several OS'es installed.

Post by: whabang on September 11, 2002, 02:08:33 AM: Mostly people who say "Cool! Amiga! I had a 500 fifteen years ago!" :-D

Naah, actually some people show some genuine interest, others are asking what the point is ( "Amiga is dead anyway"-style)

Post by: CodeSmith on September 11, 2002, 11:32:42 AM: Yeah, thanks for the translation, whabang!

BTW, 3000 kronor translates into how many euros or dollars?
Title: Re: Amiga One article on IDG
Post by: Rodney on September 11, 2002, 01:18:06 PM: Well if the SE's are selling for 6000 Kronos (or whatever :)) and these boards are selling for 3000 more.

3000 is half 6000. 6000 Must be around 550 Euro's (-+) si half 550 odd is round 275. So the SE's should cost around 750->850 Euro's :).

I guess...
