Quick translation:
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.

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)
