Any news on future release of OS4 netbook or on Natami?

Let's just reserve final judgment on the OS4 netbook until amiwest.  Hopefully, there's some big news that catches us all by surprise.  (Yeah, I know.)

[Kesa]

Good idea. But if it does not happen i think the community deserves a pretty big explanantion.
 
Does Ben Hermans ever post on Amiga.org or any other Amiga forums? If not, why not?

If I were him I wouldn't post here. Too many people here with axes to grind. I'd imagine he'd go to the more os4 friendly forums.

Minds like you is what ruined commodore, a tablet will be sold in more units than any computer even if it is driven by a exoticOS (= AmigaOS)

AmigaOS would be horrible on a tablet.  A decent touch driven UI and apps all need to be made that way from the start/ground up.  

Try using an old Windows XP powered tablet or VNC to a desktop on an iPad to see how horrid the experience is.

So, the last posts were 3 months ago.  Its been over a year since they announced the Amiga notebook was coming.

Any update ?

Someone jumped the gun on how easy it would be to port os4 to an existing ppc laptop product... Either that or they couldn't  get that existing ppc laptop dirt cheap enough. They want to buy low and sell high to rape the amiga community enough to make it profitable enough for them...

If you want a next gen amiga laptop... MorphOS and AROS win!

I can't wait to see the benchmarks now that MorphOS is ported to sam... Will be funny to see side by side comparisons...

[utri007]

It is nothing new. Comparisons has been possible for ages with Pegasos hardware.

So here it is,almost 2013, netbooks in general have become an endangered species and the OS 4 netbook is slightly less real than a unicorn.

Did it ever exist?

[yssing]

Something would be nice, but I can wait.

The only problem is, that I am sort of holding my money for this notebook, rather than buying a Sam based system.
So if I am not the only one that are waiting for the notebook. They might give us some news, since it can't be good for ACube

[jorkany]

What do you need, a giant sign lit up in neon stating formally it's dead with Ben Herman's signature on it, supplemented by a mass mailing of condolence letters? It's as much as been announced that it's dead, if it even ever actually existed in the first place.

Did you see a formal announcement from Hyperion about the other Mystery Devices from the mid 00s being canceled? I suppose you're still waiting on those as well...

As far as ACube goes you should probably get that SAM. ACube has proven to be a reliable company and has supported their users fairly over the years, I'd trust them long before trusting Hyperion.

I posted earlier, they found a ppc laptop they thought they could get dirt cheap in bulk and port OS4 to...
 
It didn't happen... People have posted info on the actual ppc laptop here before...
 
If you want an amiga next gen laptop, try AROS or morphOS.
 
An os4 laptop was just pie in the sky that never materialized....

You learn something new everyday...

Just to warn everyone... I was not aware, but you can not use the term "raping the community" it is a violation of the terms of service here.

I think my post was pretty sedate except for that term. It is a well known
fact that many amiga grave robbers have done things that are not so
ethical. My statement was about that.

What about "robbing the community" as an acceptable substitute, I hope thats okay. In my previous deleted post I said something about "raping the community". I apologize to the entire amiga.org community. Going forward, I will simply say people are "robbing" the community.

I'm sorry if my comments were offensive to any rape victims who may use
this forum. I hope my use of the term "robbing the community" will not be offensive to any forum members here who may have been robbed.

:argue:

[eliyahu]

@haywirepc

yes, that is a more acceptable phrase. thanks for your understanding.

My first thought was "Making unsolicited love to the community" but "robbing the community" is probably fine as well. Albeit less creative. Lol.

[haywirepc]

Your right that is better!

Either way, my statement was they thought they could get those ppc
laptops dirt cheap,  port os4 to them and then... "rob the community." for those outdated spec ppc laptops.

I guess it didn't work out.

Silly amiga grave robbers, next gen amiga laptops are for AROS and MorphOS.

Reasonably priced... Working nicely and here today.
