@ Eric_Z

Well spotted!

A clear professional presentation. Well done Alan!

Here are some pictures from the event and here are some Chinese newspaper articles of the event.
Click on the links on thte right and you'll see that Eyetech gets a fair number of mentions.

I guess someone has to do this one so this time it's me ;) :

OS4 - "Available April 2003"

Hmm ;)

lol, very well spotted eric . You can't hide anything from the amiga community!

Nice job Eric

Didnt RedMellons post about China dropping windows....

I can only speculate and hope as to which OS they may use instead...

@Ikir, MikeB and Spam King

Heh ... thanks

And as a sidenote, if you look at the pdf from the IBM representative, you'll see that the current IBM PPC 970 clocks up to 2.5Ghz.

@Bobsonsirjonny

Actually it was a collection of several asian countries who wants to rival Microsoft/Windows.

However, their OS of choice will most likely be something they have 100% control over.

>IBM PPC 970 clocks up to 2.5Ghz.

Bit interesting compared to what AMD has to offer at the moment.

AMD Barton core (3200+), 2200Mhz
AMB Athlon64 (3200+), 2000Mhz
AMD Athlon64 FX-51, 2200Mhz
AMD Opteron 244, 1800Mhz

The intel P4 is the best performance per cycle waster as of yet though ;)

Ah, well, it's like, ah, like, we're working on it, and, ah,

Well then there's allways the 970+ (90nm process) that's rumored to clock up to 2.8 -3.2 Ghz

Nice presentation. I found the comparison between the A1200/CD32 and Teron PX amazing - just shows how far the Amiga has suddenly come on

However, I wasn't so happy about the market prospects identified:

Media Applications - not a suitable market!
Home Applications - not a suitable market!
Home Gaming - not a suitable market!

This leaves:

Leisure Computing (for the individual who likes to 'tinker under hood')
and
Embedded Systems.

I hope the Amiga can become successful enough to break out of these markets or we will never see high-end software being written for a tiny 'geek' market.

@Eric_Z

I meant to say that AMD clocks lower today, nothing more.

@ RedMelons

Please note that the presentation talks specificly about "Market Segments in 2003".

Realisticly the AmigaOne with Linux and AmigaOS4 will not be competitive in those market segments in 2003 (and IMO early 2004). However we never know what is in store for us for (late) 2004 and beyond. We will need to see how the AmigaOne market develops.

First a good (native) software base will be needed before these Amiga solutions become competitive within these other markets.

Also note that "Leisure Computing" includes the same market segments as formerly targeted by homecomputers like the Amiga, c64, Atari, etc and not only geeks.

The slideshow was quite nice. The only thing I did notice was on the OS4 slide saying it was available in April 2003 (is there something we ought to know about maybe? )
