AmigaOS 5 surfaces... sort of

Brett Saunders

Rubbish

I got my careear started on an Amiga, and still boot the old Ami up everytime I go home for Christmas.

This "amiga anywhere" nonsense shouldn't even use the name Amiga - it has nothing in common with the Amiga computer.

I can't see how running AmigaOS inside a virtual machine on a cell phone would appeal to developers. After all, the first thing anyone did in running their games on a real Amiga was ditch the OS, gain control of the hardware, and recover AmigaOS's memory.

Sure - this may not be possible on a cell phone - but to call a glorified java replacement an "amiga" is a cheat.
