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

Well "NetBooks" and "UltraBooks" will more or less merge with tablet+kbd replacing the lower end.

The reall issue with the LimeBook (aka OS4book) is that it allready was a bottomdweller when it was introduced years ago.

Agreed with Kronos. Scrap the design, and build a more suitable one with Varisys.

I would like a TABLET with AMIGA X1000 technologies inside! Is it possible? :biglaugh:

No, PA Semi board is way to complex. Maybe SAM 460 could make it.
In theory PA Semi is made for low power non desktop use, but such board never surfaced.

Natami lives and is being developed. I am one of the system testers. However the homepage and a lot of the promises about the system is the work of Gunnar von Boehn, who left the project several months ago. That is why the public activity on the Natami page and forum is low. Surprisingly few people wants to know actual facts about the system in its current state, they want to hear promises and propaganda. And with the guy willing to make propaganda gone - well, you get it

The Natami is most likely to resurface under another project name, with goals more in line with what the main developer Thomas Hirsch wants to do with the system. We will see if there will be further public updates or not until completion.

Thanks Forcie, very sad to hear human factor within team slows down public release.

If you do that you also need to treble the estimated price.... which destroys the entire point of making a netbook in the first place....

OK, offer a promised model AND offer a more advanced variant with 766MHz SAM 440 board, integrated RadeonHD and 1GB DDR RAM, fast SATA 2,5 hard drive and max monitor size. Linux, MorphOS and OS4 preinstalled would be nice, Squeeze for 10, MOS for test (105E Key) and OS 4.2 as bundled.

It needs more ram . . .

I really hope they will make low end and high end model.
Even Pi has those.
