Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

Android uses BOTH cores of your 1 GHz Tegra 2 processor. so yes it likely is more powerful....

I agree, My Motorola Atrix would more than likely out perform the x1000, and has the software support to do so. Its unlikely the X1000 will offer any revolutionary software as they are generally just playing catchup with modern PC's using antiquated hardware.

Seriously beyond autism.
I fear this thread has gotten bad enough to make you dumber just by reading it.

@Kesa

Probably for the same reason people say "Peg" instead of Pegasos, "A1" instead of "amigaone" and "Sam" instead of "Samantha": It's shorter and easier to write!

Exactly, it's not like we have never seen A2K or A3K or A4K abbreviations for the big box Amigas being used.  I would be far more worried about year plus delay on production then how someone abbreviates it's name.

Wow, here we are the middle of Summer 2011!

So any X1000 beta testers out there got their boards yet? If so I hope you're familiar with Linux because going by the latest released pictures that's what you're going to be running - if you ever get a board for your 700+ euros, that is.

Funny how those pesky board revision numbers just keep going up, isn't it? Also nice that A-eon has decided to add a fan. Hey - maybe that's the ".1" in "Revsion 2.1"!

Well, at least they've decided to put the fan somewhere in the vicinity of the stuff that generates the most heat, unlike a certain other company

Speaking of which... are they bankrupt yet, don't seem to hear much about them anywhere on the web these days (thank gawd)...

Maybe they got raided by the border patrol and all their illegal immigrant workers were shoved back over the border (hopefully Dammy got deported too)...

What's the link meant to prove !!!

My latest bet with the brother-in-law (dunno how many time's I've got to mention that he's my brother-in-law & not my "brother") is a real good one, the bugger is going to suffer for making me listen to you for the past ruddy year...

[jorkany]

Nobody?

Next month it will have been a year since A-eon accepted beta test money, and six months since A-eon claimed to have begun production. Maybe I should be asking:

Has anybody gotten their money back?

[Kesa]

Maybe they are being too ambitious? Why not just release the motherboards and forget about the complete package.

[jorkany]

Well, they're using a stock case that's been available for a couple of years already, along with other stock components you can order from just about any PC components retailer. The "complete package" isn't the part that would be holding them up.

The board itself is being built by a reputable company and appears to be pretty much finished, except now it's Revision 2.1 when it was Revision 2.0 just a couple of months ago so not sure how far that delayed things. A-eon has announced twice so far that they're going into production (March 18 and again June 7) so it seems like the board is ready to roll.

The big delay seems to be the software.

[_ThEcRoW]

Betatesters have payed without getting the boards???. I think they would pay when receiving.

[commodorejohn]

You'd think in this community people would be a little leerier of long-term preorder arrangements...
