I remember reading about Tao when they were developing TaOS, which was supposed to be an OS framework for arcade and gaming platforms. It would theoretically allow any type of processor to be added to a system to improve performance.

Game machines will be the LAST systems on the planet to stress generic processing!

I think any independent platform is in trouble right now unless it runs on servers where interoperability  of code is not an option, but mandatory.  Like, Java server pages and that kind of stuff.  My brother-in-law was working on a very fast Java OS for cell phones called "SavaJe", and once the product was actually public, the company was promptly bought out, everybody got laid off, and the project was [presumably] buried.  He's now working for a new company in Boston that has nothing to do with cell phones.

@uncharted:

Sorry, but my mind simply cannot adapt to the concept that Amiga could be on cell phones, driving content-delivery apps.  The Amiga always has been a PC, where the emphasis was on content creation.
