OS4 on PS3

[pixie]

I'm just not sure that SCEI would want to pay Amiga Inc lots of money and add $100 onto the cost of every PS3 HDD sold for the 'Amiga' sticker plus another $70 for the OS, and then wait 5 years for Hyperion to get a '90% complete pre-release' OS4 port done, so that users can experience the thrills of web browsing in iBrowse and writing letters in AmigaWriter.

Yeah... writing letters is a thrilling experience, and most need all M$ Word features to write *a letter*... :roll:

You cannot write a letter with AmigaWord, Final Writer or Wordsworth... (only maybe because they're not sold anymore) plus nowadays most comunication is made by e-mail, plain text or with some HTML, an area where AmigaOS is indeed lacking

Somebody else commented on OSNews about wanting PS3 to be an Amiga.

John Carmack said it further:

As for the PS3, he liked sound of the noises Sony has been making about the PlayStation 3 as something of an open platform, and suggested that perhaps an open PS3 could become a computing platform something like the Amiga of old, with an excellent, fixed graphics subsystem. HDTV displays offer the fidelity to make this happen where it couldn't on past consoles.

Sony are there to make money. I find it very laughable that Sony would have to pay Amiga Inc & Hyperion for allowing OS4 to run on their own hardware.

Not only you, probably Hyperion or Amiga Inc themselves if they still exist, that is... it's called common sense

@boing:
It's posters like boing that are slowly reviving the Amiga community little by little. If they like things they should neither start developing nor leave.

No, it still doesn't make any sense :roll:

BTW, I'm indeed developing, not that it should matter to you anyhow... plus Amiga Inc don't need no one to help them, they've become experts in bashing themselves
