"There will be an exciting promotion/contest that we will be announcing later in the week with regards to AACE and the Entertainment Packs. We assure you, this will be a great deal of fun, and we look forward to introducing Amiga to several new customers who are currently using PocketPC and PocketPC Phone Edition devices."
Bill McEwen wrote that a little while ago.
Can anyone tell us just how exciting the promotion/contest was ? Did any ANN readers take part ? It sounds as though it must have been fun, maybe someone has photos ?

Posted by Lando / Trinity on 20-Jul-2002 21:29 GMT | Well, it hasn't happened yet of course
Im quite sure that, if they had run this
promotion already then we'd know about it.
Amiga Inc. are probably getting the AmigaOne/OS4
promotion out of the way before embarking on
another one :)
I for one am very excited about the direction Amiga Inc
seem to be taking. Thanks to Bill and Fleecy for all
of their hard work. |

Posted by cOrpse on 20-Jul-2002 22:53 GMT | Amiga needs to chuck alot of this *fun* stuff at people , it gets people interested. Maybe they should also get a sponsored link on Google so when people search PDA , Pocket PC etc they get informed of a rather interesting tech. coming to these markets/devices ... I don't see why thendic don't get a DE license for their pocket Peg too :) |

Mmmm, a "smart" guy. Hmm, why doesn't he teach us how to do a straight port of
something written in 68k ASM and tied in a specific hardware architecture to
PPC :) |
