Portable Amiga anyone??

bit over kill to emulate an amiga..

Right, but it can do a whole lot more than emulate an Amiga, which opens it to a much wider market.

If you aren't looking to get rich and have some free time, sure, a dedicated portable Amiga emulator could be fun for a few people.  I'd stop short of investing a bunch of money in the idea, though.

So no dual core for atom netbooks it seems, unless someone is smart enough to take the desktop version and make a netbook...

The Atoms do hyperthreading, though, looks like two processors in your task manager, and only draws the power of one core!

Actually intel forbids anyone from using the desktop CPUs in laptops / netboots. Fun, not.

They probably learned their lesson back when there were still desktop CPUs in laptops (high clock-rate powerhungry P4s in particular.)  Too much heat in a small space causing shutdowns and crashes doesn't make Intel or the laptop vendor look very good.


P.S., all Nokia products are crap.  Sorry Finland.

Selling 100 units of a £100-£120 product that requires some technical skills and further equipment (PSPs aren't quite lining the streets as far as I know) to turn into a working device does sound a bit on the optimistic side to me.  For that kind of money, I'd want a fully working, guaranteed device with no effort on my part.  GP2X is only slightly more expensive, apparently, if they're still available.  Isn't the Pandora supposed to be in the £200 range, and far more capable?

Pandora will be out in april or may (maybe)

I like my vaporware in one piece!
