News on the X1000!

[takemehomegrandma]

I can't help but to get a déjà vu feeling from all this: It sounds like AmigaOne SE all over again.

In fact there isn't much news about X1000 itself here at all. Beta boards being delivered to the beta testers would be real news.

Trevor says everything is going to plan

Easy to say, when they regularly postpone the plan one quarter at a quarterly basis... :lol:

so expect a June 2010 release.

Why would anyone expect that?

:rolleyes:

Boing ball branded merchandise for the fan boys, rebranded white mice, Linux, yada yada and whatever smoke screens. To sum up the *essentials* of this "news"; the project has been pushed back even further, and people can only speculate of the reasons. It could be problems with HW, problems with OS, or for whatever other problem, but *some* kind of problem disrupted the time scheme yet again.

Now beta testers are said to get their boards during Q2 instead. After that, there ought to be a reasonable time frame to actually beta test the thing, and to correct any bugs reported by the participants in the beta test program, right? Given this, when can a consumer release be expected? Late Q3? Q4? In time for Christmas 2011?

I don't think many of us are particularly surprised, and it's kind of funny how it follows the "Amiga One" tradition in more ways than the name. But other than this, there is nothing new to see here, so can we please leave it now and move on? This one doesn't even have any "popcorn value"...

hmmm why did anyone force you to enter a thread entitled "News on the X1000" :angry:

Eh, *nobody* forced me, what do you mean? I'm just commenting the fact that there aren't really any news here, only smoke and noise, and what we have is yet another pointless discussion about the "x1000" based on nothing but void and speculations, which is, frankly put, quite meaningless. The thing has quarterly been postponed one quarter for how many quarters now? Jeeez... But by all means, go ahead and continue these derailed speculations then! I mean, "What can be *the real* reason to its delays?"...

[takemehomegrandma]

I must admit the XMOS & Xorro slots are the X factor for me as the possibilities are so endless.

*You are* being sarcastic now, right?

@klx300r & DAX

huh..someone still forcing you to read this thread again:angry:..i thought you said nothing of interest to you here blah blah blah but yet you have such a 'passion' for any thread that is X1000 related

@Klx300r
Wow, X1000 related thread with 99% Mos and Classic only people, discussing it.
Ah well, any publicity is good publicity or as Oscar Wilde said "the only worst thing than being talked about, is...not being talked about" :-)

Please keep your meta-discussions about *who* you think *should be allowed* to post *what* and *where* to "TOS.net", OK?

X1000 progress report from Varisys.
Funny how this kind of stuff isn't on the A-eon site. They'll probably claim Adam Barnes violated their NDA or something!

So the speculations of yet another delay is now officially confirmed...?

[takemehomegrandma]

If you're referring to AW with your "TOS.net", then I'll take this opportunity to genuinely praise you for this highly motivational post.
After wegster and I worked so hard to create exactly what you asked for in opening up the site to all people...this is the thanks we get. Nice. Thanks for this!

Yes I was referring to AW.net as "TOS.net", because that site seems to be more about discussing the Terms Of Service than about discussing Amiga (and flavors). Every other thread (and poll for that matter) seems to be started by some crybaby moaning "Moderators, help, someone is saying something I don't approve of, why are people allowed to make posts I don't like, boohooo" and such. Outright painful to see, and I guess it's a long-lasting hangover from "the MikeyC-days", but it pictures everything that's wrong with that part (OS4) of the community, and I'm so glad that I left it several years ago. It's crazy! But it would be even better if the TOS-kind of meta discussions *would be kept* on the site where they were invented, instead of having them dragged over here, because I have a feeling that people here are more interested in discussing the *Amiga* (and flavors) than *who* should be allowed to post *what* and *where*!

Just my EUR 0.02...
