Amiga Event in Essen X1000 in Action

[omma911]

What's he trying to do there? find a custom css style to make it look like a c-64?

[TheCarambah]

Well, unfortunately I think time has left the Amiga platform. There is no way a fly of a company can revive this. Even Commodore had problems keeping up with development back in the 90s. The AGA chipboard was not really as advanced as you would expect from an Amiga made nearly 10 years after its predecessor. I do not see how the platform would be able to bring anything fresh to the computer market. If it played the old games it would be cool, but I bet it wont have the atari joystick port.

Will you be able to play old Amiga games on it.

[raaamz]

CAN NOT WAIT

Remember when computing was fun?

[KimIsIll]

Dude, why didnt I hear about that???? Guys, you can count on me 100%! If Amiga brings out a new PC I am going to get one!

[vojinvidanovic79]

@KimIsIll

There are already Acube srl boards EP440 and EP460, but this one will be more expensive and powerful

[ice2642]

Not OAX.

This is true.

[jsuttonus]

The X1000 is just a hoax. It was supposed to have been released back in Summer. After VCF they started showing a printed paper picture of the X1000 motherboard mounted in a case at shows. Then A-eon came up with a beta pre-sale program and announced that would begin in November. November came and no beta boards but A-eon started taking money. Now it's the end of November and the beta people have heard no word from A-eon. Starting to look very, very scammy!

[Defcom96]

@jsuttonus ahh I see you are one of those that likes to go around to all the X1000 videos and claim its a hoax .

Tell me what`s the point?

[vojinvidanovic79]

@jsuttonus

No, its just slowed down. Beta testing is normal as well as AmigaOS adjustment. I agree it has been delayed, so was EP460 but it`s availiable now. Shame campaign was named 2010 Year we came back and did not made it, but it will be 2011. Beta testers recieved boards, two public presentations and Q&A in 2010, it good for board yet in development. And it will be high end and pricy anyway

[jsuttonus]

@vojinvidanovic79 Beta testers HAVE NOT received boards as of Jan. 2011. A-eon even admits this on their website. Get your facts straight.

[vojinvidanovic79]

@jsuttonus

No, there is no such info (unless you are a beta tester). 14th November 2010 Beta testers were asked to proceed the planned payment. CPU is now revealed, so things will finally shape up 2011. I believe it`s update of OS4 that is late, and that is exactly why beta testing is needed. No realise date yet. Get your facts straight or indicate something else even from a forum source. You anyway sound too malicious towards big endavour of most powerful PowerPC desktop at this time.

[jsuttonus]

@vojinvidanovic79, In the News section of A-eon website it says this: "AmigaOne X1000 Beta Testers should take delivery of their revision 2 Nemo motherboards during the first quarter of 2011" They wouldn't post that as news if the beta testers had received their boards yet.

[vojinvidanovic79]

@jsuttonus

I believe, first Rev was also for beta testing.

OK, so beta testing is finally done NOW.

Lets see time until last Rev 3 which should be consumer.

However, its not yet a Hoax, CPU is announced and beta testing is underway.

Other comparable product, new "Commodore USA Amiga" doesn`t have public specs

and beta testing. Takes time to grow.

SAM EP460 was publicly presented 2003-4 and out late 2010

[jsuttonus]

@vojinvidanovic79, beta testing is not finally done NOW. Beta testers still haven't received the boards they paid for back in October! This X1000 is starting to look very scammy.

[vojinvidanovic79]

@jsuttonus

Will eventualy one day. And I believe its OS fault. Board is already avail at Varisys

just without XMOS. Takes time. Like e.g. CUSA products are more real.

Takes time at small community, but Hyperion-A-EON will at the end bare some fruits.

There are SAMs to play meanwhile ... See U later!

[elpsychodiablo]

Just give an Amiga Software like Firefox, Wine and native Photoshop, then it will be in a short time more attractive then any Linux and Apple OS.

[vojinvidanovic79]

@elpsychodiablo

Linux PPC is bootable with FF and OO already, while FF is ported as Timberwolf as well as OpenOffice. Some of the Linux software also work thanks to AmiCygnix port, like GIMP. Wine does not exist for PPC machines.

[StarWarsKid59]

Wow, that's very impressive. Looking at that, I believe the Amiga could rival Microsoft and Apple.

[cicalone70]

@StarWarsKid59 NEVER!! I think .. but it's a think of mine.. 

[vojinvidanovic79]

@StarWarsKid59

Not at large scale anymore, but as competition it does exist and AMigaOS and hardware for it is developed

[HKvalhe]

Impressive, i have to say :)

[cicalone70]

Is There a FLASH plugin?

Is there a driver for my audio Card ECHO MIA ?

Is there a driver for my USB PEN WIFI Trendnet ?

Is there a software development ? (ex. openoffice)

At this moment give the idea like LINUX...

I love AMIGA this is must be clear!!

[vojinvidanovic79]

@cicalone70

Not 100% compatabile.

Wi Fi on USB .... no, that does not work. Not too many drivers. But USB Massive memories and cameras do work

OpenOffice for Kids is being ported

Yes, PPC Linux like Ubuntu can be booted on those machines too ...
