Eh.. Shouldn't Genesi at least wait after the Peg 2 has been released/sold before announcing this ? Aren't you afraid this will hurt sales ? Even a trade in isn't something lots of buyers believe in (IIRC C= Benelux and in other countries did similar trade ins but weren't that succesfull).. Also, sounds like the A500+ -> A600 -> A1200 mess...

5 months + what the term "early" permits, with the Pegasos II unreleased. A strict timeline. Are the chips permitting the use of 970 are available?

So this is announced as news? Some comments on a forum!  :-?

That is not news. A press release is news. This is rediculous.

I allready don't read many threads anymore because I know where they will end but if this kind of thing continous, I think I will scrap reading Amiga news sites all together.

Of course you are right. The statement has not nearly enough Officialese, and the 970 is like, totally an old-hat bore...

@seer

Targeting different markets.  The announcement of a possibility of a G5 at this time shows potential customers from outside of the Amiga community that Genesi is working on both entry-level as well as workstation-grade solutions.   Even just off-handed as this comment is, it adds momentum behind Genesi's efforts to enlarge the community.

The Pegasos III was news to me (and really nice news too)! :-)

This is the nice thing about the community forums IMO; the close and "inofficial" contact with corporate representatives. Pretty unique and I think very appreciated by most of us.

Oh, you want more "formal communication"? Well, perhaps you missed the "see you at AmiWest! ;-)" part?

More info will follow there I suppose! Man, that is going to be one great show! I whish I could be there ...

Yeah, I'm not sure of the wisdom of announcing rev 3 of the product when rev 2 is not on sale yet.  Especially when rev 2 is a dinosaur and rev 3 is current hardware.

Unless they're doing a 68050 and scrapping the Peg 2 in favour of the Peg 3.  That would be a smart move, freeing up resources from the lesser of the two projects to beef up the better one.  I mean, why buy legacy when you can wait a few months and get a current system?  Since they own MOS, operating system support shouldn't be a problem either (unlike x86, which goes 64 bit when Bill Gates says it does...)

Isn´t the STB and the handheld more important?
Maybe it should read PegIII prototype in january 2004.

Hey amigamad, after the G5, there will be a G6, after the G6, there will be a G7.

oh gosh, you won't buy a computer for the next decade...sorry about that.

But seriously, the same is true of the AmigaONE, they will continue to update it with faster speeds and newer processors over time.

BBRV rarely if every isssues press releases. They seem to find it easier to announce or let slip things in open forums.

I was on a spanish singles chat forum and although
I dont speak spanish when I herd some guy from
amiga inc. say Amiga 4 I think it's obvious that
this product will be out soon......  :-o

even though the Amiga2 and Amiga3 are not
out yet I give full credit because of an official
let slip........  ;-)

Well lets just see what happens :-)

Amiga can now compete with BBRV in the
number of vapour hardware products again....

.......I'm sooooooo releaved :python:
