Genesi to make a 'proper' computer...

[Everblue]

From BBRV's blog:

Tsinghua University in Beijing is China’s leading research institution, and one of the leading research universities in the world. A company was formed to commercialize the vast stream of technology innovations and inventions flowing from the university’s laboratories: Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd (Public, SHA:600100).


THTF is one of the world's largest CE and PC manufacturers

THTF and Genesi will develop a family of consumer oriented products that bring the latest advantages offered by Freescale System-on-a-Chip (SoC) technology together with the Internet and enhanced communication networks to deliver rich media content and a suite of interactive experiences that can be enjoyed on or off-line. THTF will manufacture the products for distribution in China and internationally. THTF and Genesi will build on the developer and user communities that have developed around the successful EFIKA platform. THTF will bring the first three retail products (Personal Computer, Pad and TV) and associated marketing support to 8000+ consumer electronic and personal computer stores throughout China in 2008.

Let's begin with speculation

1. How much will it cost?
2. What specs does it have?
3. What operating system will it come with? (MorphOs please!)
4. How big (small?) will the physical size be?
 

1) It's not an Amiga (edit : it won't run AmigaOS, and probably not even morphos)
2) It's Bill Buck,
3) Who cares?

[Everblue]

Well if it runs MorphOs, many will be interested.

Hmmmm ok, a proper computer, now that can mean any thing.

Amiga compatible?
MS compatible?
Linux compatible?

Just how does one determine a "proper" computer, in what way?

A proper computer that runs a word processor?

This is very open indeed.

WE can all say what a proper computer is and we can all be different about it.

Well, I came up with the term 'proper' in this case. I meant a complete computer, you know, comes in a case, with a hard disk and video card, OS pre-installed, etc. Complete for consumer use.

You can call it whatever you like, but surely I didn't start this thread to discuss if its a proper computer or not  :crazy:

[swift240]

Well I can only go by what you put down here.
But it is a good question any way.
How do we determine what a proper computer is?

My idea is a computer (yes ok sound card, gfx card ethernet card all normal stuff) but with a chip on board that can emulate any thing you throw at it, to get what you want.

Is this impossible I wander?

I don`t mean a computer with MS XP on it emulating an Amiga machine, I mean a computer that is empty of any OS, but it has the ability to run virtually any OS.

I can see this is going to start something here, in another thread.
