First it was Bill then it was Barry now we have Todd... well at least we seem to have got off the "B"s for now... :)

Once again the very long and very sad saga of the never ending grim fairy tale that is Amiga continues, ok lets do as you suggest and "give them a chance"... :)

So can we lock this thread now until something real happens... nuff said... ;)
Hey Franko, if you remember what I posted in a previous thread... We get a few companies each year promising to be the saviour of the Amiga, after a while you just tune it out. No reason to lock a thread over it, let people have their fun!

Again good luck to any company that thinks it can use the Amiga/Commodore brand in modern times :)

Actually, thinking about the comment about Hyperion... It would be very odd for a commercial company to licence a proprietary operating system, now, especially one with no software base. The company would need to be totally insane not to use Android, or at least an opersource OS that they can adapt to their Market needs!

I actually don't know why they would contact Hyperion at all... Sounds fishy huh! ;)

Heh, either way...
But I have a serious question for you.

When one makes a statement it is very difficult to determine whom it will affect and in what way.
There is an issue troubling me lately, and I've posted about it elsewhere.
My quandry is whether to throw it open to the public or not.
Any advice, or should I just go back and hide in a cave?

who wants? Is there anything in the ppc stable that could even remotely contend with arm based devices?

then there's the software. Sorry, but i remember all too well the joys of cellphones running os's that were simply unfit for purpose, the first gen smart phones running a hacked up version of windows mobile (what used to be wince) were hateful devices, the palms weren't a whole lot nicer and the less said about symbian the better.

what does a hacked up version of amigaos on a smartphone offer that android, ios or webos don't?

Amiga compatibility? Afaik at least two of the three above mentioned os's have uae in their software repositories.

All i can see is the name. That alone i'm sorry to say is not nearly enough, for me, or anyone else who has half a brain.
