Amiga X1000 software lineup
« on: September 25, 2011, 09:07:16 PM »
So, Amiga X1000 will be released soon and some people will flock to buy it. They get their system up and running...and then what?
Let's say I'm willing to get one of these, what useful software I can use for that machine. During 1980s when Amiga and Atari ST were announced, the question on many reviewers and users were, "where is the software?"
To be successful you need commercial software, in Amiga spirit, you probably need a Video Editing, Photoshop like, and maybe 3D rendering software from well known publishers.
Looking at "Apple", for them to become relevant they they created a brand and software suite bundled with OS.
So, my question is, where is the software?
A500 KS 2.1, 1MB Chip, 68000
A600 KS 3.1, 2MB Chip, ACA630 32MB RAM
A1000 KS 1.3, 8MB RAM
A1200 KS 3.1, Blizzard IV 50MHz 64MB RAM
A2000 KS 2.1, 68030 25MHz, 6MB RAM
A3000 KS 3.1, 68030 25MHz, 16MB RAM
A4000 KS 3.0, 68040 25MHz, 16MB RAM
CDTV KS 3.1, 4MB RAM
CD32
(AROS BOX) Dead :(

There where all commercial MorphOS and AmigaOS software is. Nowhere. We have to write or port them all by ourselves.
See...writing sw our self's it's not going to work, they "A-EON" need to have a commitment from a "Software Developer", or maybe they need to write or port some GOOD software themselves to get things rolling.
A computer w/o sw is useless.
:idea: Maybe NEWTEK could port "Lightwave" to the X1000, that would be a good start.

For less than 1000/2000 users? :sealed:
Well...how many are Tricaster users?
Looks like they are aiming to more higher end users with X1000.

I'm a user since about 1991, got my first A1000 for like $250, then A2000, then A1200 and so on. The A1000 came with "Shadow of the Beast III", that game blew me away, then I tried Octamed 4, WOW!! I was hooked.
Right now I'm looking at the state of new Amigas, trying to figure out what can I do with them, if I decide to buy it.
Right now, I don't see any killer APP for OS4, I would like to use it as a main PC, maybe for video editing or blu-ray burning, web surfing Youtube, printing and so on, but I don't see that right now. Showing that Quake II runs fine it's not going to cut it.
