Brand New Sam460ex

Ok I know you was being sarcastic Persia, but at least it can multi-task!

There is a lot of people complaining the iPad can't multi-task, i.e you can't play music and read a book on it.  Will be interesting to see if Apple do take this criticism on-board and fix it.

I did consider buying an iPad just for novelty value, but I decided am gonna show my support and buy an AmigaOne X1000 instead - if the price is realistic.

QUESTION unanswered elsewhere:

Yeah, but dont forget that back then that A500 had incredible performance for less than half the price of other similar computers of those times.

Proof in pudding is what you do with the system, it is one thing to cash down 800 big ones on a nische computer in 2010, it is another to have it on your desk every day and find out you never use it, for myself, I sold my NG Amiga because ultimately it was just a toy, although a very cool toy and a nice experience to for a little while play in the alternative reality where if it was 1998 and AmigaOS was ported to PPC, but it is not 1998, it is f"n 2010

So I advice everytone to get one if you feel the need to, try it out, post your opinion, make yourself heard, the market is relatively stable so you can probably get back 60-80% what you invested if you sell it on.

Comes to that old chestnut again don't it... Amiga will need software developers en-mass to start making ports or it will forever remain a toy.

The average user wants to be able watch YouTube videos, send email, log on facebook and buy stuff on E-Bay.  If the current owners can 'BUNDLE' this all into the OS Distribution (even if its freeware software Gnash etc...), give us a pretty desktop with a red/white Bouncy Ball in the corner and blazed across the screen on logging, a Dock bar-like interface then Amiga would stand a far better chance of succeeding.
New users should not be expected to downloading thousands of libraries that do something simple as idk display a PNG.
