That sounds possible. Except for the "Commodore contacting Amiga" part.

@Fransexy

I`m just in the wrong parallel universe!


@Zender

How about :
Acer-Gateway Amiga - AGA?

Not particularly Amiga related, but still interesting from August 29, 2007:

Does anyone really understand why Amiga Inc. in its various incarnations has maintained its interest in the platform?

All of this headache with virtually no revenue or airplay. I can't imagine why they haven't turfed the whole lot long ago.

@number6

Maybe this is what the Amiga Inc v Hyperion case is really all about?

Just idle speculation before anyone gets too excited!

Officially Commodore is a privately owned company, not part of the Tulip Computers company (both Dutch). They sold it off some time ago... but now it seems that Tulip wants the Commodore brand back and offers 1 dollar per share.[quote]

Would be a bit hard for "Commodore" to take back anything, since the name is owned by Tulip is it not (and just the "Commodore" name and C= logo at that).

@gbraad

Accodring to Dutch news, Tulip want's to buy the Commodore-brand back, complete with the
current 'Commodore'-branded products! [Dutch News Article]

Current owners bought it from Tulip at 24.000.000,00 Euro, Tulip now offers 57.000.000,00 to buy it back. That's quite a lot of money for just placing some stickers on Chinese OEM hardware

It seems that business plans involving buying standard PC hardware in bulk and sticking old brand logos such as Commodore & Acorn on them is the latest fad.

If the new Commodore bought Amiga, they would simply created Amiga branded PC compatibles. I highly doubt they are naive enough to try and introduce a completely new platform in today's vicious market.

I hope Acer get's assets of Amiga and make a bankcrupty (like history tells) as this new Aspire Acer jams all the time and I got angry now. They never
answer the phone and the shop said that I can't return a broken? machine... Turning back to AmigaOne as writing;)
Not many multiple programs without locking-up or not possible to "switch off"
without removing the plug. My A1200 is even better than this GHz-monster.
Keep it really going Guys and Galls...

@AmigaBlitter

Well, we know there could be a market for a computer with the C= Amiga name...but would anything come of it? Nah.

To be honest, the combination could be great... speculations, speculations.

BUT, the potential is there. AmigaOS running on Commodore branded machines - desktops, set-top boxes, mobile phones, PDAs etc... the Commodore that never was, the first time around?

Bah

If I owned Amiga I would put the A1200 back into mass production. I think the A1200 is still an extremely versatile little machine would make a great sub-£50 low end computer for a lot of people.

Bundle an accelerator with some extra RAM and a Multi-sync flat screen/interface and you have a nice cheap machine for basic word processing and E-Mail.

(Oh and classic games!)



For the mid-end, Sam 440 of course.

And high-end, well I can't give that away can I

Commodore or any company with any business sense would not get mixed up with the amiga cancer (amiga inc & hyperion). Those two waste of space companies can hopefully kill each other in court and leave the real Amiga to its fans.
