This is just one of many concept drawings for the next generation Amigas. We
have release a full set of drawings to the Amiga press for publication. Amiga
is planning to come out with a next generation multimedia computer in late Q4
of the year. This computer will have a unique architecture, a great operating
system, awesome 3D graphics performance, advanced multimedia features, and will
be extremely easy to use. I am confident that this computer will meet your expectations
for a great next generation Amiga. Unfortunately, we can't disclose details
of the new computer yet since we are under non-disclosure agreements with our
technology partners. We also need to be careful about alerting our competition
to our plans. One thing I can say is that the technology partners we are working
with are extremely excited about our direction and technology. There are Amigans
in all major technology companies and they are eager to support us in driving
a new computer revolution. These partners include some major technology and
component companies in the computer industry. We should be ready to disclose
more at the World of Amiga and AmiWest shows in July.
The new Amiga multimedia computer will also support a home networked "information
appliance" environment that will allow networked devices throughout the house
access to the power and features of this computer. I need to clarify the term
"information appliances" which is becoming a popular term in the computer industry.
"Information appliances" are not digital toasters, refrigerators, and ovens
with LCD displays. They are devices such as wireless LCD tablets, Internet terminals,
game machines, and digital set-top boxes. These devices will all be connected
together through a single network and will be integrated into a single comprehensive
operating environment. This is the reason why we use the term "operating environment",
or OE, to describe our new software rather than operating system. Our software
is much more than the underlying operating system. The goal is to have Amiga
compatible computer devices available throughout the house allowing people easy
access to multimedia, games, and information.
