Will you be buying an AmigaOne X1000 ?

I can show you why I would say no ...

Salvador Dali would have loved this one. I prefer straight lines though.

I think both Natami and Minimig are great projects and they will certainly bring the Amiga into the future. They might still be around when most of the classic hardware is broken beyond repair.

Yep, but classic hardware can still be repaired and in the near future we will think of new ways to intergrating new hardware on these old boards.
 
We are already doing it and what is stopping us from using other cpu's instead of high cost and unavailble Motorola processors ?
Even the custom chips shouldn't be to hard to fit into one chip.
I think we will see enough great new hardware for the Amiga future.

....How are you going to convince the VCs to invest in your business if you don't have some guaranteed way to generate profit?

I think that's something we could all learn from AmigaInc!

Maybe their right, after all IBM designed processors are now a part of all three major game consoles.

Tbh that is likely to represent the last stronghold of the PPC. As it stands they're also heavy into telecoms, but with the likes of ARM and MIPS being as cheap and as flexible as they are, I can't see that remaining for much longer.

Still, if a large company with deep pockets approached them and could guarantee they would purchase X# (read millions) of processors, they would listen. In that regard, IBM has my respect. They know how to remain profitable.

Probably the next round of games consoles. Although again, price performance will be a major issue. ARM A9 or some of the multicore MIPS chips look damned nice at the minute.

I respect what they're doing with this machine, but I won't be buying one because I don't have that type of discretionary income.  Who seriously plans to buy one soon after it's available?  Anyone here?

I had been planning to get on the beta-tester program, but a change in circumstances dictated a change in priorities (ie the job I had turned out to be a lemon, and now I'm going self-employed instead).
If the self-employed plan takes off wildly, then we'll see: north-of-£1500 is a lot of money...

I wish every luck to Trevor and have been in touch to say why I'm dropping out of the beta-test program (didn't want him thinking I was the moobunny leak).

I won't be buying a SAM460 (or SAM440 for that matter), as I have no need for it - MorphOS on the Mac mini fulfills most of my media centre requirements atm, and the Powermac release will fill the remaining holes (ie digital sound output - I have an Aureon Sky card waiting), although I may have to hack a more silent cooling solution than the current windtunnel fans on the PSU.
My Dual 1GHz G4 MDD Powermac cost a whole £65 (including delivery), so around £170 for a full system with OS - which IS within my budget.

Whilst I'd love to get into AmigaOS4.x and have a play around with it, the hardware prices are just too much for my meager budget to bear. So, I simply wish good luck to those buying the hardware, and look forward to seeing it in action at some social event (eg LAG).

In the meantime I'll continue to enjoy MorphOS, keep an eye on AROS, and observe the development of OS4.x, with gratitude for the efforts of the developers of all the OSes on the way.

I won't buy one unless it runs MorphOS and costs below 300 euro.

Where can I get one of those?

[divined]

lol. usage premium comes at a high price though.

Seriously, I would buy an X1000 if I could afford one. But I think the a sam460 is much closer to my portfolio!!

Oh she smashed her keyboard because she can't work with Windows XP, then she really is a dumbass and I rather wouldn't see her doing this to a beautiful Natami :roflmao::roflmao:
And no it won't increase her breasts either :roflmao:

I'm rather interested in seeing what the SAM460 is like myself. Frankly, that motherboard's hardware is more in line AOS 4's requirements anyway.

Wow!  It even matches those useless blank keys on the A1200!  I have an A1200, I use it occasionally, but I wish they didn't cut corners to make English-speakers use international keyboards with blank keys.

[persia]

Yep, sort of Salvador Dali meets '80s computing, and not in a good way.  It would be nice if they produced a mini itx board and let us put it in a case.  There's a lot of mini-itx cases that look quite stylish....
