  1. It won't be an Amiga by dammy · · Score: 1 · on Hyperion Promises An AmigaOS Netbook

    It won't be an netbook "Amiga" as Hyperion does not have a license for the "Amiga" name for hardware. Hyperion can only use "AmigaOne" as it's official name for it's hardware series. The only company that has an official license to call their hardware Commodore Amiga is http://www.commodore.net/ who are using a customized Mint OS distro.

    From the corporate info on the site:

    ... Ironstone owns the intellectual property rights of a broad portfolio of games- and multimedia products....

    Commodore is a very strong brand with worldwide recognition introducing a solution what will bridge the consumer's eGap. An eGap is the entertainment Gap in the life of a consumer...

    Seems possible that some new people bought the rights to use the commodore name.

    And why is this corporate info written in Engrish?
