See how far you'll get selling something with a Hyperion owned trademark, even if it is a peripheral for their (or their partner's) actual machine. That's what you'll need the lawyer for if you go ahead and sell it without getting permission from Hyperion, even with the community's support.

@TheDaddy

Do you have a lawyer on retainer?

It is actually going to be called The Commodore Phoenix(as in rises from the Ashes). It has been sold by Cybernet for quite a while now, but it has been predominantly targeted at industries where they would consider desk space a premium. At least you can't call it vapour. It is what it is. It's convenient to get a hold of.

Phoenix is the flagship model. Commodore are going to announce another lower-specced computer in a keyboard shortly. It will be more the size of a C64, without a DVD slot. It will have netbook-like specs, and the guts, will be re-used in netbooks and tablets.

I firmly believe this Commodore company has a chance at making a break-through into the mass market where others haven't, by pushing it's niche of computer-in-a-keyboard products. If you start flogging these on the shopping network...lookout.

In answer to your question. I have built a rapport with the Commodore owner, and am now, apparently, officially on the Commodore advisory board. I don't get paid anything the opinions I express on the forums are definitely my own.

I have been pushing for Amiga Forever and AROS for the x86 system, even though that might not pan out if AROS compatibility doesn't make it in time for launch. I have also pushed for some sort of deal with A-Eon/Hyperion, but I am yet to hear anything about that. If you want such a deal to take place, between two such iconic brands as I do, I would send e-mails to Commodore and Hyperion/A-Eon. A rising tide raises all ships.

BTW: The website is getting a make-over now, and a bigger one after launch.

Errrm.....

How does it compare with OS4 on an A1?

It would be funny if emulation on a fast x86 will eventually beat a dedicated PPC mobo like SAM.

And while I'm at it. How does the Eye Candy in AmiKit compare to the presentation of OS4?

My first post.

I know Jamiga is something completely different but if we are so concerned about Java compatability would it not be wiser to port the Java virtual machine.
Sun has just open sourced it haven't they?
