There isnt a new Amiga and probably never will be.

Actually I have an email from Bill McEwen of Amiga.com where they were asking for Thalion games for the APP/Game/Software store.

Their deal was : Developer gets 12% and Amiga.com receives 78%!!

12% eh from the old Amiga app store? Goodness gracious, how generous! (That really is so far out of touch it's not funny)

It's no wonder Apple's App Store has taken off and is inviting imitators left, right and centre.

Level playing field? Again, please see the Apple model. They give away the xcode dev suite, and charge $99 if you want to deploy to real iphones and distribute through the app store. Fields don't really come much more level than that.

@AlexH: why do you think this isn't real. It's even got the processor (Intel/AMD) defined! ;)

oh my word, the delusion here is incredible

Just follow the links, and try not to rupture something laughing.

I can't believe that this thread is still open. Seen spam bots with more senseful threads, and they were closed after a few minutes. Very odd.

Did you read his links to his Xanadu (echnologies??? hah) website?

You, dude, are very sick.

Well, I guess he couldn't spell 'aardvark', so he went for the other end of the phone book......:nuts

It was only a ballpark figure, probably £222 would be more realistic.

Remember that the developer receives 80% from every sale in Amiga's App/Game/Hardware/Software Store, the 20% to amiga.com would offset the cost of creating the Amiga Set Top Box.

Just think how big Apple's IPhone is, and times it by billions. :great

http://www.apple.com/iphone/

All of the technology needed for this set top box, is already available.

I've probably got my rose-tinted spectacles on(ala John Lennon, Harry Potter, Hermoine Granger).

It looks like amiga.com is trying to destroy the amiga(Blue Meanies). :help

Do it and let us know how things works out, m'kay.

Amiga1992 08 April 2009 20:13

I think you should contact Retrogeek Computers for a joint operation to build the ULTIMATE MILITARY SPEC SET TOP AMIGA 2000 BOX.

discomeats 08 April 2009 20:48

Are you a Psychology student?

well, are you?

:D

Amiga1992 09 April 2009 00:33

I like how he set up his 'prices'
111, 222, 333, 444...

:nuts

alexh 09 April 2009 08:47

It's leading upto... 666 :evilgrin

I agree, the set top box idea sucks.

Maybe an Amiga Laptop/Netbook would be more realistic.

Okay, we all had our good laugh (or not). Now can we stop this pointless BS ?

chiark 09 April 2009 11:56

Indeed. I think it's worth locking for general daftness. Or moving to OT-Stupidity (although no doubt the denizens of OTS would be offended at such a suggestion)
