| Isn't this the machine that was announced way back in January?
It's now October and is still at the prototype stage...?
Why do they still announce vapourware months or years before anything will be actually released? It gives our community an unprofessional image. |

It's posts like that, that give our community an unprofessional image.

| So it would be more professional just to go around promoting things that don't yet exist and might never be available. Yeah, this worked really well with eg. the Walker, the A/Box, the Amiga MMC, the t-shirts, Amino's "OS5", the AAA chipset, etc...Forgive us for having a certain amount of scepticism eh... |

| Just curious, and forgive my ignorance in case this has been answered somewhere else in AW.NET already, but was there a new ETA given for the AmigaOne X1000 system when they announced that they would not make the originally announced ETA of Summer 2010? Thanks!
Update: Forget my question. I just found the answer on the AmigaOne X1000 link above to A-EON's site: Coming in late 2010. I hope that that is still the case. Last edited by elatour on 04-Oct-2010 at 04:11 PM.

Last I heard, the beta boards would be ready around the end of this year. So if beta testing starts then & lasts for 3 months or more, your looking at a public release in 2011 sometime. We won't really know until the beta details are known. Nobody likes the waiting game, but its better to get things right, even if it means we have to wait longer.

Unlike many of the others (MMC, Walker) you mentioned the X1000 does actually exist, I've seen two for myself and, yes, it was running the OS.
P.S.
The t-shirts did exist (eventually).
I don't think AAA was ever really 'promoted', it was an internal project killed off by the demise of Commodore. |

It does - and you would think that with everything that has happened people would learn not to announce release dates until certain. Actually this was on of the few things that CBM were very good at. They went too far the other way though and announced nothing until actual release.
Yes it's unprofessional - but it has happened and after being assured that it would be out in the Summer - it now looks like a 2011 release to me. And as has been pointed out earlier in the thread the missed release date was mentioned in a A-Eon FAQ
But they have announced nothing further which is a good thing. Hopefully we hear nothing until certainty and the finish line is in sight.Last edited by -Sam- on 05-Oct-2010 at 02:46 PM.

Not at all. It's a fair point.
It's when it gets blown out of proportion that it gives us a bad image.
