Most platforms won't be using it though (probably due to the requirement for two-way communication, effectively restricting it to cable-based services) - and the DVB standard MHP (used for most new European digital TV services) is Java-based so intent/AA won't be of much use there - so I doubt Amiga's partnership will have much impact.

RU :crazy: Intent has a Java engine that pwns. 'miggy inc. should be lol.. ...if they get the deals is another matter however,

@chris

I agree, stranger things have happened in the past but Amiga inc. don't have my confidence yet.
To be honest I see the convergence/STB market bridging over from the console market anyway, look at what the 360 and PS3 are aiming at. Would Joe average go and buy a console offering streamed footage for tv reception or an STB with proper games etc...??
I think maybe the names on the boxes will give us our final answers.
