AMIGO by Commodore

[gizz72]

Greetings,

At first, I thought is this real, but according Article , it will be release in June!
The Carrier Board accepts a standard 2.5" HDD, the Computer on a Chip PCB, a standard SIM card, 2 internal USB ports, and contains all the external connections for video, audio, USB, serial, 5 volt DC power plug and 2 SD card slots.

More info -> http://www.commodoreusa.net/amigo.html

The Commodore C64 version http://www.commodoreusa.net/systems.html

Would I get one? Maybe, but the Amigo looks sexier and comes in black! I might get one! and probably run AROS on it.

Regards,

GiZz72

This has already been discussed here a few times, about a month ago.  There's a thread somewhere....

*coughs* is this the same computer that was announced on april fool's day by any chance? =P

THe guy doesn't have permission to use the Commodore name or logo, but it hasn't stopped him.  He's reselling other people's laptop without a screen because they can't sell them because laptops without a screen are pointless in 2010.  It's supposed to be a lounge room computer but it's a fail at that because unlike a conventional desktop, this one has wires running across your lounge room floor...

Lemme say i do not feel preciselly ENTHUSIASTIC about this kind of
laptop-without screen-cheap laptop performance-but has lot-a-wires project.

A rebadged low-end PeeCee computer, renamed for commercial purposes
to have the name of the famous company... Of course without consentment,
AND sold at hi-tech price... And NOT in any way related to any Commodore
project or design.

I would buy an X-1000 or a MacMini a zillion times before EVEN ask to myself
to buy a cheap-PC in disguise sold at unreasonably high price.

oh look, someone bought a cargo container of zero footprint PCs.

if I wanted a shitty computer to run ubuntu on I'd take one off the side of the road ('round these parts you can literally find sub 500mhz machines tossed out with the garbage)

What I don't get is how this guy is getting away with using the Commodore name and logo. Guess it says a lot about the current holders of the brand (i.e. probably dead or don't care..) Shame how both the Amiga and Commodore brands have been misused over the years....

[B00tDisk]

The C= (not Amiga) trademark stuff is one of those things like H.P. Lovecraft's works, just about.  Rather than anyone having to prove they do have the C= IP (which is the name and the logo, really), all they have to do is say "Prove I don't."

The trail of ownership is so obscured I doubt a team of well paid lawyers could pull that one off...

[XDelusion]

What's Lovecraft got to do with it?!? ha ha!

Commodore USA, the Lovecraftian Origins that no man dare repeat lest the sleepers might here their name and awaken.

Of course, if Commodore could come up with a way to remove my brain and send it up into space in a strange contraption, I might get interested.

Of course, if Commodore could come up with a way to remove my brain and send it up into space in a strange contraption, I might double my faith.

I had interest in this, but kind of lost it after reading some of the posts on here about this "company".

This have been discussed a few times before, for me this is just overpriced x86 crap :/

What a piece of junk.  Composite and VGA out?  To plug into a TV? About a decade out if date.
