Well, my ACER Iconia W500 (AMD C-50 fusion) Tablet PC (iPad type) can fit into C64X case (or the standard C64 case for that matter). Atm, I don't need Intel Atom based solution.

I can modifiy C64X case which I can slide-in/slide-out the tablet i.e. creating a retro-C64X USB docking device for my tablet which can replace ACER's own keyboard+USB-Hub+mouse-pointer docking device.

C64X case is large enough to house in a laptop USB blu-ray drive.

My tablet fits into my old C= Amiga 500 case. I need Amiga keyboard-to-USB converter and a hack on the side for laptop blu-ray drive.

Sure. It is simply a choice matter. There are people that can use or would desire such solutions like those from Commodore USA and there are those whose desire or need might happen to by something else.

I don't have any personal issue with it. Maybe down the road there be a product from Commodore USA that might serve a need you have. Likelihood.... maybe...maybe not, it all depends but it isn't only just C64x but that is just one of the products that happens to be among the first and on the priority list.

For me, I don' necessarily "need" a C64x but it be fun and be something that could be used from a software development standpoint for key mapping and documentation and such for Commodore OS software that I might target for fun and would simply want to have the key mapping down as it is a little different than traditional PC keyboard.

@Wildstar128

Pretty much true, keyboard computers are practical but that doesn't mean people don't desire them. Nowadays all you need is some office staff, everything else can be done in China. They'll likely survive.

Fresh pictures of C64x production run and C64x box(awaiting approval on whether to show pictures today)


edit: Must apologize, seems like photos have been posted in the section unavailable to all members(and guests)... I'll see what I can do to show them.

well, offcourse they are real. C= is real and here with us.
Hopefully Amiga line comes very soon.

But what is that extra function key for?

Actuall, there are 12 classic function keys(F1-F12), on the number section, first row up.

Those 5 are programmable keys and the reason there's 5 of them is probably to be in sync with the expanded keyboard.

I assume it`s like some macro key or programmable key...

Let me fix that typo for you.

What is C64 doing in 'Amiga General Chat'?

I would wait before naming something as a c**p substitute.
You havent even seen it and allready you have a prejudice.
Not quite a realistic thinking at the moment.

In the early stage it will play flash native, .mkv native,
5.1 sound native, USB2.0 native.... Actual AOS can`t still do that after
years of development. have I missed something?

Don`t know what is it doing here. I did not post it. I am talking about
upcoming Amiga line and C= OS that will be a base for the new
Commodore Amiga line.

.mkv native

mkv is just a container, like AVI, mp4, and others.
It's not a file format.
Since it can contain different file formats inside, it's not accurate to say that one piece of hardware or OS can/cannot play it.
Perhaps you meant to indicate h264 in hi def?

Yes, you are right. Video is not my cup of tea. I`m in a pro audio.
But i ment on most 1080p 5.1/6.1/7.1 .mkv video files that
are mostly used today.

np.
That's correct. No current h/w we call "amiga" will handle this properly, although I understand MorphOS on the macs either does...or comes darn close depending on the processor.

So practicaly nothing from the death of the old C= is Amiga, and will
never be?
Can the gathering of the all licenses on one pile bring the Amiga back?

I think you changed the subject? I was agreeing with you.
I was referring to all things "amiga" to date. That would not include anything new carrying the brand name. I'm sure C=USA and IContain products intend to handle hi def as a standard.

I can't guess the chances of gathering licenses, so I can't guess how that would affect Amiga in the future either. We'll see...
