New Hardware, Software and News in 2008?

[sdyates]

What are your predictions for new Hardware, Software and News ahead in 2008?

[Delta]

-More promises and bull from Ainc but no product.  

-Updates of actual software from the developpers who are still active.  

-More ports and new stuff for OS4.0

-an AGA minimig?? (would love that)


News?.... same stuff as last year but faster, more expensive and almost as useless   (PC and console scenes that is)

[sdyates]

I'll be a little more realistic How about a retail version of minimig OCS?

Something that will use flash drives for content

[platon42]

- Deneb Highspeed USB 2.0 Zorro II/III DMA with Poseidon 4.0
- MorphOS 2.0
- Some nice (Amiga Classic) hardware by Individual Computers
- IBrowse 3
- Elbox finally officially quitting and admitting that the Dragon and the Shark were bad jokes ;-)
- The scam/con bunch at the various Amiga Inc's finally going into jail (hopefully) for a very long time.

On the Hardware side I think Clone-A will be the most interesting.

Maybe we will see a new OS4 Hardware but I dont have much hope for that.

On the Software side, I think AROS will become a lot more interesting:

-AROS being able to execute 68k code

-AROS with a decent Web Browser

...

And maybe MorphOS 2.0 ?

[BinoX]

Yeah..

Software side:
MorphOS 2
CSS capable browser
Some nice new 3D games
OS4 updates to bring A1 and classic version to the same point
New SDK for OS4 (Hopefully!)

Hardware side:
Efika 2
Maybe Pegasos 3
Deneb USB

@Heinz
I agree with all of your predictions.

I would add to the predictions a big increase in Minimig owners, especially as we have a couple of viable solutions now (v1.1, DE1/DE2). I also hope to see more Minimorph developments.

I predict the most exciting development in '08 will be the release of Clone-A (I hope!!!).

Don't forget the hardware portion either.

@Chris

Welcome back!  :-)

@sdyates
- IBrowse 3.0 Os4 native only.
- New AmiPhoto version and other products from Alinea Computer
- I hope Sam440 with AmigaOS 4
- I hope many ppc games for AmigaOS 4

[humppa]

@AmigaPapst

- I hope nany ppc games for AmigaOS 4

Don't get your hopes up. Currently, even more games are being developed for the Atari 2600 than for OS4. I find that rather telling. So don't expect too much apart from a few crappy SDL-ports.

[AmigaPapst]

I think the Hyperion games will ported to os4, maybe we can see games from Epic or another firms. :-)

[humppa]

I think the Hyperion games will ported to os4

I don't think so. With both "core OS4 developers" now suing Hyperion, how likely is it that they will be contracted to port the 8-year-old games to OS4 in order to sell some whopping 83 copies?

[AmigaPapst]

Not only the core developer port the games from hyperion. I think Steffen will do a good work.
I think we neeed some games to see the power of the old PPC machines.  :-D

[sdyates]

@ Heinz, I'd have to say that your bet is the most realistic and also the most exciting. I certainly expect something from Individual computers this coming year... Clone A
