A huge blow to the already small RISC OS market and community: Castle Technology has announced that the Iyonix range of ARM-based RISC OS computers will be taken off the market after 30th September. Support will continue through the Iyonix website, the dealer network, and by email. This leaves Advantage6 as the only manufacturer of RISC OS hardware with its A9Home computer.

That doesn't work anymore. Sure, it did back in the Visicalc days. But today, if the killer app is FOSS it quickly gets ported to other, more popular platforms. And if it isn't FOSS, the huge development community that exists today quickly clones it. The phenomenon of a "killer app" popularizing a platform is long dead. On PC hardware, at least.
