Title: Commodore back with MP3.
Post by: nac on July 01, 2004, 02:53:34 PM

The Commodore brand is back with a bunch of new MP3 devices. Seems they want in on Apple's IPod scene.

More info Commodore MP3 players (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/30/cbm_vs_apple/)

Looks kinda nice but why on earth has Tulip decided to italicise the chickenhead logo? I thought the player looked pwetty cool until I saw a closer shot of the logo. It looks cwappy. :-(

Tulip do seem to have gone for the Escom Commodore logo rather than the retro C= that we all had on our Amiga's, C64's etc... which is a bit of a shame.

Oh well  :-D

I must admit, I was not sure that they would come up with anything that unique.

Looks like quality.  Maybe if they sell loads they will revitalise the Commodore brand - it will become a household name again.  Commodore will buy - Eyetech, Hyperion and Kmos and re-sell brand new Amiga systems completed by Amiga OS5 and bundled software of Spiderman 6 the Movie and Rainbow Island - The revenge - the first holographically projected 3D game.


Uh oh.  Just got a little too excited there.  for a minute.

Is it me or did the (British) sarcasm not show through.  Anyhow, "Duck".  Your right.

I never wanted an MP3 player before.  Somehow this one sounds like you can finally do something useful with it.  (Store {bleep} loads of songs on it).

About time too.

Hmmm... Let's think different!
What is the profit of all ordinary commodore-64 fans? They have now to pay money for every game, every emulator/whatsoever to whom? To TULIP, who hardly ever made smth for commodore-64 other than buying a trademark of the dead for a long time company.

Nothing to say about thousands of fans who will buy those mp3players and pay extra money to TULIP for nothing...
