Sputnik - internet browser

[Noster]

Hi,

I'm on the Amiga Meeting in Germany and have just seen a demonstration of the new browser named Sputnik.
WOW!!! A working browser on the Amiga (Pegasos).
It looks really good, cannot await the first beta-release at the end of this month or in the next month.

A working browser on the Amiga (Pegasos).

Since when was the pegasos a Amiga?

In this context it is an Amiga.

Sputnik is the first full-fledged modern browser (CSS et all) on any amigoid system.

Since it runs on MorphOS, there is nothing stopping it from running on other amiga systems aswell (MorphOS is free for classic Amiga systems, even!)

..except perhaps bad attitudes.

morphos != Amiga in all contexts

Why still argue about this ? Amiga in 2006 is MOS, AOS4, AROS and classic 3.X...

And this is great news, cant wait to see it in action!

[InTheSand]

Oh to have a PPC-based Amiga to try this with!

I wonder if there's any possibility of a 68K back-port?

@Tomas: Since when is anything later than an A4000T an Amiga?! :-)

It's funny that nowadays there's still people being bothered  by Pegasos being 'called' Amiga... :roll:

@Tomas,

That argument is so 2004. Lets move on please.... :roll:

No more amiga than aros. MorphOS is indeed similar to AmigaOS, but still it is just a clone. And i am in no ways saying that MorphOS is inferior to AmigaOS. Why do you keep on clinging to the amiga name? Why not instead focus on strengthening the MorphOS or Pegasos brand instead? Pegasos or MorphOS wont be Amiga unless the brand owner "amiga inc" and Genesi and OS devs make some kind of agreement.

This is indeed good news, but it dosent have much to do with amiga until it has been ported. If you call it amiga news because MorphOS runs on the classic, then we already have by your definition modern browers like firefox, konqueror and so on running just fine on Amiga already.

But you can't run those browsers alongside with amiga applications.

Yeah. These appz run fine on hardware which has been AMIGA branded, but hosted by an alien OS (linux BTW)

Sputnik will run on an amiga like environment and along side with AOS and MOS appz.

In fact, if you run MOS on a classic, you will not notice is the system you´re using its called MorphOS or AmigaOS, since they are step-brothers ( well, except MOS will be faster than AOS 3.x by category )

since I saw it and got myself a peg and can run various amiga programs on it.

same with WinUAE and AROS - all of which I have and play with.

It's "Amiga" because THAT is how I USE it.

Witches, Sheep rustlers, Pegasos users... round 'em up!

I would certainly love to see a 68k version.

My only problem with the currently "multiple" platforms is the attitude of some to make software "specific" for one platform, and in many cases for no other reason than some kind of odd "platform" spite which makes no sense to me.

Can't we all be friends and work together ?

The similarities between os4/morphos and 68k os3.x mean that it is not impossible to support all from a single source base (take yam as an example)...
