ACK Controls, the company behind the newly announced Amiga hardware, has held an IRC session where they answered questions and provided more details concerning the upcoming hardware. According to ACK, the promised hardware will arrive with OS4 despite the legal battle going on between Amiga Inc. and Hyperion. On the high-spec machine (USD 1500), they said: "It's faster than anything Apple ever produced on the PowerPC side of things." Which is interesting, to say the least. The transcript containts many more details, and the Amiga community is discussing the matter as well.

PowerPC and the many Open PPC -registered IP make it pretty believable that they can best the Quad 2.1GHz Apple systems out there 1.5 years ago; design automation has gotten that much easier at that point behind the bleeding edge. If they took the right (further, fox chakra in barrels fallen off the army lorry,) risks maybe Siggraph07 will be theirs?
Selling 10k of them before their markets are saturated with PS3-based emulators rather than sceners and contented hobbyists is the major trick. I'll look forward to the giant SVG ad campaign (though the flash Doors 'linspire' vid was fun, too.)
On the 603e side, the most minor spartphone can best that, so it's no feat; maybe that version will fit in a flash media format...though, why?
