. The shell, the GUI and the TCP/IP stack are already native PPC code.  


How do you do (or better test) that when the kernel isn't finished yet ?

"RoadShow" (or whatever it's named now) has been more or less finished over one year
ago (was running on an Amithlon-beta for example) and is written in C (AFAIK).
How easy it will recomplie to PPC and how it will perform under OS4 is yet to be seen.

Nokia has blessed Amiga by incorporating the technology in its long-anticipated digital home hub, the Nokia Mediaterminal.


Hasn't that been discontinued months ago ?

Seems to be a "well researched" article, and the "68000-based Commodore Amiga 4000s"
adds fuel to that idea  ;-)

Sorry but articles like this is NOT what is good for OS4 !
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

draws attention to the fact that things are happening


Just like all the articles about:
A5000
Walker
A/Box
PreBox
PIOSOne
iWin
BoXeR
A1(Escena)
OS4-Intent
OS4-InHouse
....

Anybody outside the "community" that remembers these will put this article
in the same category.

Better wait until you got something REAL to show !

1. I did mention A/Box and PreBox which were Phase5 concepts.
(I mentioned only failed products, and thats something you can't say
about the Pegasos (atm) just like the A1-MAI)

2. I haven't seen bPlan making any "big noise" outside the "community".

3. I never said that I would like everything done by bPlan/Thendic.

If someone is interested in the Amiga and reads this article, what do
you think would he do ?

Questioning Nokia about the "Mediaterminal" ?  :-x

Looking up what an 68000 was ?  :-x

Trying to find out what SW runs on OS4 ?  :-x

Asking when it will be released ?  :-x

Asking "how do I run R-Type on my smartphone" ?  :lol:

Not every publicity is good publicity !! And this one sucks  :evil:

Your right about that bPlan tried to get into "neues" on 3/Sat, but
there were some emails from 3Sat posted on Amiga-News.de
(with author's o.k  ;-) ) that made it clear that the one who invited bPlan knew who they were (not) and that
someelse put the misleading info onto the webpage.
