A suggestion for the new AmigaOne X1000

[Piru]

They should design a games console, but more powerful than the Playstation3 or Xbox360 with better processing power, better graphics hardware etc.

Assuming they would somehow be able to pull this off (money, hw designers, all 3rd party ppl you need to talk to etc), it would still fail:

1. It would be more expensive.
2. It would have no games.

With such powerfull hardware and maybe a good ad campaign they could get 3rd party support for games (such as from EA or Activision etc...)

That is not enough to get any game company's attention. You need a market... which you can't get with hideously expensive console with 0 games.

Yeah, but that's being worked on at the moment isn't it?
AmigaOS 4.2

"This will be new release of the AmigaOS, and will most likely not be free. For this one, Hyperion is planning to do some serious plumbing work. SMP support is planned, but this will probably not be completed entirely for the 4.2 release - massive changes like this usually span a number of releases"
(from OS News.com)

I'm afraid that was just common misinterpretation of what ssolie said in his presentation.

So my big problem with your "roadmap" is that it isn't a roadmap at all. After 4.1.1 nothing more has been announced by Hyperion.
