In a new Amiga editorial for Suite101, John Chandler focusses on the Amiga solutions already available and what we can soon expect from Amiga Inc. Among this are AmigaDE enabled Zaurus PDAs and smartphones, AA availability in mainstream European shops and AmigaOS 4.0 scheduled for a pre-Christmas launch.

Samface: What? That I'm really a sycophat and actually the same person as John in reality? You really believe this is anything more but a flaming troll?

Wrong Amiga Inc is alive and soon we will see new Amiga products, just like you have PowerMacs today running MacOS X instead of 68k Macs running the old MacOS. Also similarly to the way Windows XP powered PCs are NOT identical to those old PCs running MSDOS and 286 hardware. This is called evolution!
> AmigaOS OTOH will be updated, and it will run on third-party hardware
Would you prefer it if Amiga Inc tied their software solely to in-house developed hardware? Just like Apple when they killed the clones?

Amiga Anywhere and AmigaDE share common APIs and other source code with AmigaOS. Go onto a Microsoft websited and tell those people there, that .Net and WindowsCE have nothing to do with x86 and MSDOS. Believe me they will laugh at you, right in your face! Me too :)

Why shouldn't he write about it, the Sendo relationship (Amiga software pre-installed) for instance is already well known within the mainstream press.

I wasn't there. (Was this announced there?) At least I got this information from somewhere else.

AmigaOS4 is mainly in fact 4.2 as originally planned, but as it will be the first release it makes far more sense to be called AmigaOS4 instead. MorphOS for instance has also been delayed and will contain more components than originally anticipated. Does that mean bPlan has to call their OS MorphOS 2.0 instead? You don't make any sense!

IMO, people like you are pathetic.

This isn't the same board as the ultra expensive evaluation board. The fact is that without AmigaOS4 nothing would have come from it. After all the FUD spread by people like you, telling people that several Linux distributions are already ported without any problems is good news to many. Similar statements have been made with regards to Linux and for instance Mac On Linux by companies supporting the bPlan motherboards. Feel free to bug them by saying you think they are pathetic.

What I hate is people first spreading FUD that the orginal Boot ROM is incompetent and then when I say that I agree with them but a better, more featureful and less buggy alternative is being developed, the all of the sudden people attack this as well as the orginal ROM should have been enough... Really pathetic IMO...
The release for AmigaOne and AmigaOS4 is looking good, regardless if you like it or not.
