Title: Name the next gen Amiga
Post by: ElPolloDiabl on January 26, 2010, 11:31:33 AM
It will run the KarlOS and be called the Amiga Wayne.

Included will be fanatic chip socket (runs too hot though) and the vapourware socket (empty).

Amiga had the copyrights to the word "Intuition" and i always thought that would make a great OS name. Amiga Intuition. I doubt Hyperion got the rights to that name though.

I didn't think Amiga Inc could compete with Hyperion on a software label.  If there is another Amiga it will probably be a PC Compatible..

@Fanscale

I'm dissapointed that it comes bundled with KarlOS, I'd like to see the team behind PreciOS port to it if they were not so full of them selves.

I'd like to see computer branded as Amiga, but be a multi-core, totally programmable piece of kit that could easily be turned into any number of computers. We already know about the FPGA stuff, so the concept is not too far off.

Emulation was "big" for the ST and Amiga in the 80's. Why not now, again? One box that could be a PC, Mac, Amiga, etc. with several partitions, running the latest OS's and switchable either through windows, a reboot or selectable upon startup. I'd love to see an early Startup screen that asks: "what computer shall I be today? lol

The University I work for basically did that, they bought a truckload of iMacs that dualboot MS Windows 7 and OS X Snow Leopard.  But really why choose?  I regularly run IE8 on my Mac using VirtualBox and I don't even see the MS Windows Desktop...

I don't see how a tiny z80 memory paging (or bank switching as it was more commonly called back then) kernel designed for a DIY-expanded zx spectrum would be any use ;)

The amiga platform will merge with the Sinclair ZX series of computers, with a new OS based on Palm Pilot OS. The new graphics chipset will be a Motorola 88000 superglued to a gerbil and painted blue. Hyperion has managed to get take2, ea, valve, and several other publishers onboard for the release date of 2016.
