And there was me thinking the market was finally up to ditching the x86 millstone.
Plus embedded Windows... pure crap. PalmOS has always been gazillion times more user-friendly.

No, this is a traditional turn in the wrong direction.
Come on ppl! We are here on Amiga.org, a site dedicated to a machine ahead of it's time, in terms of getting the max out of hard- and software, and dedication to user friendliness (whether the user is a die-hard programmer, or someone who uses the computer for the first time).
Be an Amigan, save your pennies/efforts, and just avoid this.

What? You mean this is new? Tell me, what's so new about this?

But this makes more powerful hardware cheaper and smaller... these are both attributes which the Amiga used to embrace?! We should embrace them and not fear them. :-)

This is not more powerful and cheaper hardware. There's a healthy competition going on in embedded systems market, and the x86 can spoil that all, because of lame software houses.

Hm, ok, maybe I'm a few years behind I must confess :oops:
Still I do not see x86 making a difference... Besides, megaherzes are not the Amiga way, you remember? ;-)

x86 is not the devil. Do you dislike the architecture due to its place in history or for more technical reasons?

For more technical reasons. The only charm of x86 is it's backwards compatibility.
I'd prefer a proc which is forwards compatible :lol:
(but seriously, a proc that has been made having that in mind, so to say).
