Historically, the Amiga platform has targeted providing the most compelling multimedia content to desktop systems, the new Amiga platform will continue that tradition on desktops and address connected, multimedia digital appliances such as webphones, digital TVs, and web pads. Now the world's most creative multimedia engineers can leverage the Java™ platform to target a vast array of new products and solutions. The underlying technology used in the Amiga system is a Sun Java branded version of PersonalJava developed by the Tao Group. Tao's software is a media-rich environment that was designed from the ground up to run on a wide range of low cost, processor and memory constrained consumer devices that offer a wide range of multimedia capabilities. Within Amiga's new target markets, several key standards groups are adopting Java technology; HAVi, OSGi and DVB are three examples. Amiga is adopting the popular Java platform for developers creating new generation content and applications that could also be used on industry standard devices such as in home networking and digital television. The millions of Java technology developers will be able to deploy their innovative content on a wide range of new products that will excite consumers. "We are excited to see a longtime favorite of the multimedia developer community turn to Java technology as their programming platform of choice. The deeply loyal Amiga developer community will be able to leverage the wealth of Java development tools and support to build new, highly innovative and fun applications. We are also pleased that Amiga will work with the Tao Group, a company dedicated to compatible implementations with media rich capabilities," said Curtis Sasaki, Director of Product Marketing, Consumer Technologies, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "The New Amiga is a breath of fresh air for the industry, and has a talent pool of developers who continue to lead the way in the creation of dynamic software products," commented Bill McEwen, President and CEO, Amiga. "Sun and the Java platform provide us with great tools, a large number of potentially new developers, and a well supported platform, and experience in emerging markets. The Tao intent™ implementation is unique in being able to provide the key system requirements needed to run the Java platform in mobile and consumer products." Francis Charig, Chairman of Tao Group says, "Combining the world's most advanced community of multimedia artists and engineers with the new industry standard software [Java] is the next natural step forward.

`03.Feb.2000` AMIGA	Executive Update von Bill McEwen Bill McEwen meldet sich zu Wort (Übersetzung Executive Updates von Martina Jacobs bei AIDA, englisches Original): "Greetings to one and all: A great deal has occurred over the last couple of weeks, and it is only going to get more interesting as we move forward. It has been some time since I spoke with you, and I wanted to share some of the fun. In the last two weeks we have announced our new foundation partner, started technical training with our new development team, and had many meetings with future technology partners The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and, to quote an old song "they ain't seen nothing yet". On January 8, 2000 at CES in Las Vegas we announced our partnership with the Tao-Group as our foundation OS partner. This is not just a technical but a strategic relationship and brings with it great rewards. I have asked Fleecy to write a short document highlighting the Amiga/Tao relationship from a more technical perspective, to save you from having to put up with my telling everyone how incredibly great and fantastic it is. We want you to make your own minds up. In the next two weeks we will make another strategic partnership announcement with regards to the new path for Amiga. As with all our announcements, look at it against the whole picture and not in isolation. After a week long trip to Germany and the UK I have come back with a much better understanding of what we can and cannot do. As mentioned before we are not going to make promises or product announcements. We will announce to you, the community, only after the deal is signed or the product is sitting before us. This won't put a stop to rumours, but it will make them all the more obvious. Change brings uncertainty, and in an information vacuum, mischief makers like to take the spotlight. If it isn't officially sanctioned by Amiga, don't believe it. Our job as a company is to create exciting market opportunities for Amiga developers to take advantage of, and to give Amiga users a platform they can enjoy. This requires more than just an upgrade to the existing OS. This requires, indeed demands a complete strategy reaching into all areas of the present and the future. The time has come for all of us to move forwards, owner, developer, and user. Many of you have sent us business proposals, and product marketing ideas, and for this we thank you, and ask for your patience as we look over them. Some are providing us with valuable insight into the desires of the Amiga community as a whole, others are providing us with a good chuckle. This is the Amiga advantage that other platforms just do not share. Over the next few months there may be some companies that come out with their own plans, or state that we do not have the community at heart as we move forwards. The reality is, they do not know what we have planned. In order to stay focused and to keep up our incredible pace, we are not sharing our plans outside of our signed partnerships. We have to prioritise and act singlemindedly if we are to reach our first plateau in our given timescales. Once there we will be able to pause for breath. Some are not happy about this, but they do not know the full plan. Our mission is not just about restoring the Amiga, but about pushing it forwards as THE technology for tomorrow. This means that if you hear something annoying, or frustrating, or downright nasty, and the source is not Amiga Inc, then disregard it. Plain and simple. If you did not hear it from us, or read it here on this web site it is not true. We are not asking for your trust or your undying belief. We only ask that you take us on OUR words and deeds, not on the misinterpretations of others. We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work. I want to thank each and every one of you for your hospitality during our meetings and for your continued support as we move forwards. We have had the chance to meet with many end users, developers, dealers, and new partners, and look forwards to meeting even more of you as time goes on. There is a great deal of activity, with a lot of first footsteps on some truly amazing paths. New partners excited, old faces returning, familiar faces reminding us of our heritage. Indeed we are already having to move into bigger facilities, such is our rate of growth. I know it can be frustrating but after years wandering lost in a dark place, the sun is finally starting to crack a smile on the horizon. Together, we will march into tomorrow. Keeping the faith, Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team." (ps) [Meldung: 03. Feb. 2000, 08:00] [Kommentare: 0] [Per E-Mail versenden] [Druck-Version] [ASCII-Version]
`02.Okt.1999`	Neue Bilder der Büros von Iwin Martin Steinbach hatte uns diese Bilder am 10.09.1999 per eMail geschickt, aber zunächst darum gebeten, sie nicht zu veröffentlichen. Kurz zuvor war herausgekommen, daß die von Comcity geposteten Iwin-Büro-Bilder bei Merant aufgenommen worden waren, wo Martin Steinbach übrigens auch beschäftigt ist. Comcity hatte diese ersten Bilder ebenfalls von Martin Steinbach erhalten. Diese ersten "Büro-Bilder von Iwin" wurden von Comcity inzwischen auf Wunsch von Martin Steinbach inzwischen wieder entfernt, aber auf der Sonderseite Iwin von Kleinbus.org (Update: oder auf amiga-news.de) sind die alten Bilder noch vorhanden. Auf der Sonderseite können Sie darüberhinaus auch die kompletten Ereignisse rund um Iwin als Zusammenfassung mit allen Details nachlesen. Auf der heutigen "Pressekonferenz" hat Martin Steinbach uns nun die Erlaubnis erteilt, die neuen Bilder zu veröffentlichen, was wir natürlich gerne tun, aber wie Martin Steinbach in seiner eMail schon selbst richtig bemerkte: "Natürlich - ich weiß. Diese Fotos könnten natürlich auch von wo anders stammen." Martin Steinbach Rue Ann, Robert Jant, Greg Gahring (von hinten) und ein MA, der nicht mehr bei Iwin ist Büro von Iwin Rue Ann und ?
