Specs: Screen Size: 240x320, 65k color, 3.5" reflective-TFT; and Screen Size: 176x220, 65k color, 3" reflective-TFT. He also wrote as has already been stated, that he's still looking for people who will develop commercial-quality software for the PDA's. More details at Amiga.org here."

Amiga: two AmigaDE based PDA's : Comment 10 of 13ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 9 (Troels Ersking):
1 and 2 _are_ different. 2 means you are able to run simply _every_ software
that is available for AmigaDE and 1 would mean that the runtime is linked
with and therefor _a part of_ the program (comparable to DBase/Paradox runtime
programs, if anyone remembers...).
Last I know is AmigaInc. wasn't sure if they would support the 1 solution,
could have changed by now. However, the AmigaDE would be what PalmOS lacks:
a multimedia layer (incl. OpenGL/Mesa etc..., you know).
BTW, Palm is rumored to introduce 2 new models within the next days (maybe at
german CeBIT fair), one of which fits quite well into Amiga's announcement. It
is a V/Vx follow-up called m505 with reflective TFT (see specs in news article
above; the only other device with reflective display up to now is Compaq 's
iPaq H3630...). Just to inform you, if you don't know already, that does not
mean anything.
Ciao, Alex
