Here's the first specs for the new Amiga from Amiga Inc.

Let the justice system decide who is the badguys.. Just give me a new system

Enought on my mac and linux machines.

But when you go for a ppc system you end up with something intended for the embeded marked. Way better than my 060 anyways.

@krize
The company I work for has been in a somewhat similar legal dispute. Another company developed software under our name and directions, under license, afterwards claiming that they did not get payed enought. They markedet this software as their own, and we sued them and ofcourse won. When we two years after finaly got the sourcecode, it was so crappy that we trashed it and started from stratch.

I do not have all the facts in this case, so I dont want to take sides. Amiga is just a hobby, and it would be wonderful with a new toy.

eeeh, compete?

Is someone actually thinking of Amiga as a real alternative to modern machines? Common... Os4.0 does not even have a usable browser (yet).
The only thing it wil compete against is "classic" amigas.

I think @spirantho has some good points, and I share the views.

In my mind, if a new Amiga branded computer gets avaiable for a low price, people in my generation that used to have an amiga and only have good memories about it, will get one just to see what the fuzz is about. If the price is low enought.
The new amiga is even mentioned in the mainstream IT-news here in norway, thats how strong the name still is out there.

Low end machine = lower price = posibillity of larger user base (of geeks) = more applications = new machines.

But then again, I doubt it will ever be released together with os4...

If they blew it this time, the amiga brand will end up just like commodore.

@humppa

Good point.

@skurk

This new system will be offered at a suggested retail price of $ 489.00 and be a complete offering excluding monitor in a finished design that will provide customers with everything they need to get started.
