And it's already found a licensee: Sony Corporation.

In fact, the original poster could have done with reading......etc.

I linked to the news item, I didn't copy it wholesale.

I am sure Amiga.org readers are quite capable of following a link and reading the references for themselves.

PS I did read it all myself including the references. I also read about it on other sites before I found it on the reg.

@Koan

Why did you post it if you had read the links and knew it was nothing to do with JPEG ? Seems
a bit reckless to me. The proof is in the first comment

No pleasing some people is there?

I just posted a link to a news item that I thought would be of general interest. I didn't edit the title nor did I edit any of the content. It was a link thats all.

If you think you can do a better job then why don't you do a little news posting yourself. This a community based news service in that it relies on members to contribute.

Its all too easy to sit back, do nothing, and criticise the ones that are trying to keep this site up to date.
Thanks for your encouragement  :-?

Come on!  "chip in" as Wayne says,  we need more news posters (especialy those with your thoroughness) plus some people really need a break from posting anyway. :-(
