So far AmigaAnywhere are to be used in Nokia applications and now in this monster of a mobile-thingy. I think its a pretty good strategy from amiga. Cellphones and PDAs becomes more and more sophisticated day by day. This opens a demand for some sort of mobile OS. AmigaAnywhere has the potential to take a bite of this new marked.

Seems the name Microsoft is popping up a lot together with the name Amiga. I know it is the way to make money. Just a little worried here.

I think the cooperation with microsoft is a bitter pill we have to swallow. Microsoft have alot of resources to promote their own OS solutions. If AmigaAnywhere where to combat this it would most certainly fail. The best strategy is to tag along. This way AmigaAnywhere dont have to use any strenght to promote itself because microsoft is doing all the hard (and expensive) work. When AmigaAnywhere grows strong enough it can then seperate from microsoft and be offered as a seperate OS...
