Press Release
                        Amiga is Back, and will change computing forever,
again.
                        Amiga, the creators of Multi-Media computing, have
announced the
                        release of their developer kit for Amiga, Linux, and
Java developers.
                        June 3, 2000, Snoqualmie, WA - Amiga announces the
release of
                        the Amiga Software Developers Kit, the first new
product to
                        introduce the next generation Amiga platform.
                        The Amiga Software Developers Kit provides the
initial tools and
                        examples for developers to create exciting
multi-media content for
                        multiple devices and computing environments. The
unique strength
                        of the New Amiga comes from the partnership with the
Tao Group
                        in Reading England providing a foundation where
developers are
                        able to take advantage of a ubiquitous computing
environment.
                        In 1984 Amiga established what is know today as
multi-media. As a
                        result of this, Amiga systems are used around the
world by leading
                        film studios, animators, and in mission critical
applications. Using
                        this as the foundation, the Amiga is moving forward
by creating
                        multi-media for numerous devices and computing
environments in
                        the home, in the office and beyond.
                        The Amiga OS is capable of being self-hosted, and
sitting on top of
                        other operating systems. A single application is
capable of running
                        on X86, Power PC, M.core, ARM, StrongArm, MIPs,
SH3/4, and
                        others. In a hosted environment the new Amiga runs
on versions of
                        Linux, Windows 95,98/NT, Windows CE, OS/9, QNX4, and
others to
                        be announced.
                        The new OS also embraces the Java language in a new,
powerful
                        and compliant way. The intent Java Technology
Edition from Tao is
                        world renowned for its speed and compact execution
of Java
                        applications. With the new environment, developers
will be able to
                        take advantage of both Java, and portable assembler
coding.
                        "Today we take the first step towards the future,"
said Bill McEwen,
                        President/CEO of Amiga, Inc. &quotThe new Amiga SDK
provides
                        an environment where the best developers in the
world can build
                        exciting applications, that can transcend hardware
limitations.
                        Today Amiga developers can be joined by Linux and
Java
                        developers in an environment that provides the
foundation for the
                        delivery of future content."
                        "Tao has been talking for some time now about our
developments
                        to create Digital Heaven(TM) and we see Amiga and
its community
                        as a fundamental part of the new order that can make
it happen
                        and take an industry lead. With the sheer tenacity
and the many
                        qualities of McEwen and his Amiga team, the world is
going to see
                        Amiga as a Premier Brand for connected digital
appliances," said
                        Francis Charig Chairman of the Tao-Group.
                        For the developer, the new SDK creates a single
environment that is
                        scalable from handheld devices, such as cell phones
upwards New
                        versions of the kit later in the year will introduce
many new media
                        features. Both the current and future versions will
enable compact,
                        high performance and robust media solutions to be
used across a
                        broad range of devices using identical binaries..
                        The New Amiga SDK is available through local
retailers for $99.00,
                        and from the Amiga web site, Amazon.com and other
sources
                        available soon. A version via a Japanese distributor
will be
                        announced shortly.

Forse non ho capito bene...
Il nuovo SO di Amiga girerebbe come se fosse un'applicazione sotto Linux,
Win9x, WinNT ecc... ???
Ma allora che SO sarebbe? Da quanto ho capito sarebbe una virtual machine
come Java e non un vero e proprio SO.
