When I read about iContain getting the right to use the Amiga trademark on OS News I was beyond annoyed - I was furious.
So I sent some nasty, nasty emails to them.
And Todd from iContain replied, and he's convinced me that he has the besst interests of the Amiga community at heart. He really does want to supply us with hardware that will run our operating system, not, as has been claimed, to just slap the Amiga name on unbranded, cheap, generic electronics. He tells me that his company can get custom hardware designed and built cheaply.
I suggeted that a PowerPC phone that can run Amiga OS would be just the thing we want. He seems amenable.
But Hyperion haven't replied to his emails.
Now, I know we've been bitten a few times, but can't we give iContain the benefit of the doubt and see if they can put their money where there mouths are? If we give them a chance and they don't produce, what have we lost? Nothing!
But if they are likely to produce and we, as a community, don't even let them try, well, we might have missed out on the Amiga phone I've wanted for so long ...
I told Todd about the other "flavours" of Amiga - MorphOs and AROS. He tells me that he's going to look at IcAROS, since Hyperion don't seem to be interested.
