Amiga have just released this press release about the AmigaOne hardware spec. Eyetech will build the first actual boxes, which are Classic Amiga/AmigaOne hybrids (both A1200 and A4000-based models will be available) and will be based on PPC. They are scheduled for a Q1 2001 release. First stand-alone AmigaOnes should ship in Q3 2001. Also, the development of the Classic AmigaOS will continue with v3.9 coming out before Christmas.

Amiga announces the AmigaOne : Comment 72 of 119 | ANN.lu |

People are just annoyed by such a weak anouncement.
You must admit that you've been fueling a small frenzy over the "AmigaOne", dorpping little hints here,
little hints there. People were expecting so much more than just an add on for A1200s
It is really difficult for me to believe that you are actaully progressing anywhere, when
you have said that you are working with all these exciting partners, when they just turn out to be Eyetech!
The specs themselves aren't anything special (and have no need to be given a name), are you trying to
tell me that Dean brown has spent months comming up with a basic list that any sales assistant at
PC World could tell you?
This coupled with the recent poor excuse for a world beating software list, has made me totally lose faith
in the company. You've been going on for months about major firms and developers who have been impressed
by the DE. So where are they? They're NOT producing hardware, they're not producing any new software.
Another thing. For an environment that is supposed to be at home online where on earth is the browser?
I have spent the last 10 months really supporting the Amiga cause, and telling evryone I know about it.
I even had be working on designs for certain peices of software for the new system. But I'm
beginning to feel that Amiga Inc will not pull it off.
By all means prove me wrong, I'd love for you to succeed. But I can't go by blind faith forever. |
