How will Hyperion continue the momentum?

Oh, don't get me even close to started on Apple. I refuse to buy into that at any price. My business parter wanted to GIVE me an I-phone for Christmas so we can start developing Apps and such. He was even willing to give me that and go half on an I-book, for development. I refused and would rather stick with my 4 year old Palm Treo then look at a modern Apple product. I leave the Apple stuff to him ONLY. Even if Mr.Jobs himself, called me up and personally sent a private jet, and flew me down to Apple HQ, to present an I Device in person, I would just laugh and hang up on him(probably call him an idiot to his face).

You do know that anti-fanboys are just as bad as or worse than normal fanboys?

Hey! I like that "Anti-Fan Boy". Maybe start a website called the Apple Anti-fanboy regime (local 101) ! I now added it to my signature!

Also, whats up with the PALM comments? Apple stole the whole Idea of apps from palm, but I was never a Palm fan, I thought the Handspring units were 10X better then Palm, and Palm could never seem to Upgrade their hardware, they just brought the same base unit out for years with a new case around it (same specs) and say it was a totally new Palm. Talk about trying to pull the wool over the consumer's eys. The Pro, the 3, the M130 etc were all the same units- but I am off topic and I will drop it for I am not about to start flame wars.

 No, I truly am safe from that, whats funny is someone from Apple hits my blog on a regular basis according to the stats. They are "keeping an eye" on me sort of speaking- LOL.

blacklist them! :-)

Hell yea. I know if I suddenly out of the blue had a business opportunity with some major mega corp and a meeting with top brass, I'd tell 'em to shove it! Absolutely! It'd be the most logical decision ever.

Are you managing Amiga Inc?

I wish I was. I'd release a bottom of the barrel PC with linux with a gnome theme that looked like work bench with UAE for $1,000 and amiga nuts would blow their wads and throw cash at me.

@Koaftder

Bah. How about sorting out the legal issues and releasing Amithlon boxes running OS3.x instead?

You forget how Palm started up, doing grafitti for Apple Newton? :laughing:

Anti-fanboys are folks who were once Fanboys. But due to events beyond thier control  like some traumatic failure or change in directon from their object of fanatacism,  they internalize and catastrophize the event.

You should convince him to develop for Android instead. I see a lot more potential in a more flexible system.

In fact, I wish Hyperion would focus on the mobile market. I'd love an Aphone.

Actually we'd all tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine. Remember the Amiga, inc are the brainpower behind such Killer apps as "snowman maker" and "telnet force".

@Karlos: That's not a bad idea actually. I wonder, if they could make a PPC pci card (already exist?) and modify uae to allow direct access to that and a graphics card... All they'd need is a really, really stripped out linux distro and Bingo! New cheap OS4 Hardware!

I get the feeling...Amiga is software for you ? Is that the way it must stay ? Why not a case keyboard mobo and ppc. Why not use the Intel as its good at...games/tool and use you amiga for fun/learning ? A software package on a pc isn't really a computer is it ? Join the party, ditch UAE and see the world from a hardware perspective ?

Well obviously It'd only be for computers they would sell. But if you think that £££ custom low volume hardware is a better idea you have mental problems.

For some of us old folks, PPC will never be an Amiga.  Regardless on what the current owners dictate as an Amiga.
