The AmigaAnywhere pack apparently can't run AmigaDE content. People who spent $30 or more on the "Entertainment Pack" can only run the four games included with that pack. They also can't run those games from a non PocketPC system.

Amiga Inc says that it intends to eventually write a Player application for PocketPC, and then PocketPC owners will be able to buy this additional software (the desktop equivalent costs $20) on top of the Entertainment Pack and any extra games. The Entertainment Pack itself remains a "sealed unit". There is as yet no ETA or price information for the PocketPC Player.

What do developers think of this? Were you expecting to generate sales based on AA Entertainment Pack purchases, or did Amiga warn you that PocketPC owners wouldn't be able to buy your games ?

AmigaAnywhere isn't AmigaDE ? : Comment 12 of 16ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 11 (NihilVor):
Huh? Moonbunny?? I would never go any site with such a silly name. I have noticed many people referring them to Amino.
Anyway you didn't justify why Amino deliberates makes its products incompatible with non-Windoze platforms. It would have been *less* effort for them to make it compatible. Why does it not run on the SDK, AmigaDE Player, etc.? Because Amino want everyone to buy *many* copies of intent rather than just one.
