Jari Pakarinen noticed that "A developer" wrote on Slashdot: "Sony and DoCoMo announced they will jointly develop on-line games worldwide. Sony, Motorola and JVC have greatly invested in a new Sun Authorized Java Virtual Machine which is also being used in the new Amiga computer. Read Slashdot's article. "Founder of the UK based Tao Group and ex-Amiga developer Mr. Charig just returned from Japan for the launch of DoCoMo`s new Java technology based i appli service. Interestingly Tao demonstrated its technology running on the Dreamcast a year ago as well and recently it was announced that Sega is going to make games for new set-top boxes and mobile phones. BTW every C, C++, Java or Vitual Assembler written Amiga/Tao application can be executed code identical on top of other operation systems as well including Linux. :)" edhak also points to this BBC article on the possibility of worldwide handheld wirelessly distributed games, and gloats "Wipeout on a mobile!" "

Slashdot on DoCoMo, Tao & Amiga : Comment 3 of 4ANN.lu
Posted by Chris Moore on 30-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT
This is all very good news, any content created for Tao based
systems is content that will run on the AmigaDE. I wish Sony would
consider using the AmigaDE as an OS for the PS2 though, that would be
cool.
As for the comments on slashdot - are there some people that
spend every day of their sad lives searching for any Amiga related
news and immediately send a message with subject "Amiga is dead, let
it rest in peace" etc... Jeez.
