Any news on future release of OS4 netbook or on Natami?

Someone jumped the gun on how easy it would be to port os4 to an existing ppc laptop product... Either that or they couldn't  get that existing ppc laptop dirt cheap enough. They want to buy low and sell high to rape the amiga community enough to make it profitable enough for them...

If you want a next gen amiga laptop... MorphOS and AROS win!

I can't wait to see the benchmarks now that MorphOS is ported to sam... Will be funny to see side by side comparisons...

I posted earlier, they found a ppc laptop they thought they could get dirt cheap in bulk and port OS4 to...
 
It didn't happen... People have posted info on the actual ppc laptop here before...
 
If you want an amiga next gen laptop, try AROS or morphOS.
 
An os4 laptop was just pie in the sky that never materialized....

You learn something new everyday...

Just to warn everyone... I was not aware, but you can not use the term "raping the community" it is a violation of the terms of service here.

I think my post was pretty sedate except for that term. It is a well known
fact that many amiga grave robbers have done things that are not so
ethical. My statement was about that.

What about "robbing the community" as an acceptable substitute, I hope thats okay. In my previous deleted post I said something about "raping the community". I apologize to the entire amiga.org community. Going forward, I will simply say people are "robbing" the community.

I'm sorry if my comments were offensive to any rape victims who may use
this forum. I hope my use of the term "robbing the community" will not be offensive to any forum members here who may have been robbed.

Your right that is better!

Either way, my statement was they thought they could get those ppc
laptops dirt cheap,  port os4 to them and then... "rob the community." for those outdated spec ppc laptops.

I guess it didn't work out.

Silly amiga grave robbers, next gen amiga laptops are for AROS and MorphOS.

Reasonably priced... Working nicely and here today.

"dirt cheap laptop with OS4"

But your missing the point. It would have been a dirt cheap laptop, but somehow because it could run the magical os4, it would not have been dirt cheap to
the community.

A dirt cheap to the community laptop with os4 with make actual business
sense. Lets not get crazy and start expecting that all of a sudden.

:laugh1:

Bilgerat is much more creative than me.

I don't mean to be a basher, but come on man, they make this announcement, then they just forget about it when it does not happen? At least explain the delay or say they cancelled the project...

As far as AOS bashers, I don't mean to be so harsh but I just think when you
price something so high that even big fans of amiga can not afford it, or justify the high cost with the 10 year old spec hardware, its kind of shooting yourself in the foot.

Making product announcements of a low cost alternative then just pretending
that announcement did not happen when people ask about where the product
is...? thats shooting yourself in the other foot.

Because of the high cost, I got into AROS instead of AOS. Truthfully though,
I spend most of my hobby computer time on linux now.
