I never stipulated it had to be proprietary hardware, that's your end of this discussion. So exactly how much research did you go into OEM costs to produce a tablet for OS4? If Apple is selling it for around $600, it sure didn't cost that much to manufacture, they like nice profits as does the retail stores and whatever middlemen their are between Apple and the end user.
Don't disagree with what your saying dammy, if OS 4 was "ported" to x86/x64 then I'm sure somone would be able to put out a cheap pad/tab version to undercut Apples proprietry. Just look at the Wepad (WeTab now) complete with Flash.
It wasn't my end of the discussion, at the moment it's the cold reality of the situation. OS4 <> x86, and trying to make a pad from PPC is gonna cost a mint. No research here, just basing it on the costs of a std PPC Mobo.
PS: Better stop using that fruit world or people will get upset. And sorry if I came across rude with the "stupid business plan" line. I just re-read it and cringed.
@Karlos RE: "It is if you don't have it :-/ " Agree, for most it will be unjustifiable, but in reality so are 7 Amigas in the back room. I don't think 1500pounds is gouging, just the cold reality of the platform and it's lack of popularity. AROS is fantastic and works on an affordable platform;
But it isn't Amiga OS 4.
