Any news on future release of OS4 netbook or on Natami?

So, cutting to the chase ... there's no news on the myth-illogical 'NETBOOK' for OS4, AND there is little likelihood it will ever appear, so NO news is NOT good news, and especially as it's now way past Mid-2012, seeing as it's September 2012

The OS4 "notebook" was just a ploy by Ben Hermans to try to stop people from buying the X1000 after his falling out with A-eon. It didn't ever have to actually exist.

One of my friends downloads a lot of music. He will download 10 or 30 songs at one time, then listen to the first 10 seconds of each song, then decides he hates those songs, then he will download another 10 or 30 songs. Then he do it all over again. He quickly goes through iphones and ipods as a part of his "collection". I don't get it :confused:

I suspect he is doing what everyone else is doing - deliberately filling up an ipod/iphone with worthless data just to brag about running out of space. I think its a right of passage or something. Dunno. I mean, people are downloading so many songs there simply isn't enough time to listen to it all. So why are they doing it?

Have you explained to him that it's possible to delete stuff off an ipod/iphone? He doesn't have to get another one once one fills up...

If they don't provide at least some new information at, or before the 2012 AmiWest Show, something is really wrong,

If you haven't yet realized "something is really wrong" and has been for years with Hyperion & Co., you never will.

What fallout?  :confused:

Do you have a link?

Sorry, missed your post earlier. If you recall Ben Hermans was one of the founding partners of A-Eon. Ben Hermans is no longer a partner at A-Eon. According to a post made on moobunny shortly before the split there was a boardroom argument and things got physical resulting in the split up, but as far as we know that is just a rumor.

What is not a rumor is, a while back A-Eon was re-incorporated in Cardiff, UK. Previously it was a CVBA incorporated in Belgium. The partners are now Trevor Dickinson and Matthew Leaman of AmigaKit.

Oh yes, definitely I meant tablets. Why, with third-party solutions, you can make them almost as good as a laptop with weak hinges and a chiclet keyboard!

Oh here we go again with your 10 year old vendetta against Ben Hermans. The best you guys can usually do is link to some comments he made on Ann almost a decade ago, rightly are wrongly I'm sure he has moved on, cause in recent years I only see mudslinging and FUD originating from one direction, Yours!

Did you even read the title of the thread? It's about the OS4 netbook that was announced last AmiWest which was to be available "first half of 2012". Take a look at your calendar, note that we are in the last half of 2012.

Unless ssolie was just making **** up off the top of his head, that announcement originated from Ben Hermans, and the announcement was a lie. There are plenty of other example from the recent past, take your blinders off, OS4 world is a fantasy world full of gnomes and fairies.

What do you need, a giant sign lit up in neon stating formally it's dead with Ben Herman's signature on it, supplemented by a mass mailing of condolence letters? It's as much as been announced that it's dead, if it even ever actually existed in the first place.

Did you see a formal announcement from Hyperion about the other Mystery Devices from the mid 00s being canceled? I suppose you're still waiting on those as well...

As far as ACube goes you should probably get that SAM. ACube has proven to be a reliable company and has supported their users fairly over the years, I'd trust them long before trusting Hyperion.
