IFA: Allrounder: Sharp Personal Mobile Tool SL-5000
»The Japanese Sharp company will introduce their new pocket sized Personal Mobile Tool SL-5000 on the IFA 2001. The most important tools of this little allrounder are web-browsers, mobile phone, e-mail, and a MP3 player. Quick operation of any business task is guaranteed by the 206 MHz Intel StrongARM processor, 32 MB SDRAM for memory, as well as the operating system Linux OS (kernel 3.4). The users are forced to access the in many cases unfamiliar display keyboard, since below the operating front, which can be pulled off, there is a QWERTZ keyboard. Operating time basically is not limited, the different battery packs can be recharged separately. The SL-5000 can be extended with SD or multimedia cards and compact flash memory cards. Even a video camera module can be connected to it. But the Personal Mobile Tool was not made for business purposes only: The cooperation with Amiga Inc. and their wide range of games make it a small games machine. The device is said to be available at the vendor's from December.« (ps) (Translation: mj)

At last a DVD software player for Amiga?
At last a DVD software player for Amiga? Is it true? Yes, it's AMP2. "Old stuff!", some of you will say since you have been watching DVD's using AMP2 or Frogger.

But it's hardly known that the latest beta version of AMP2 has got direct DVD support including free choice of the video sequence to be played and the language for sound and sub-titles. All that get's configured by requesters which pop up one by one, but only works if AMP2 was started from CLI.

Syntax:
ram:AMP window overlay vcddevice scsi.device vcdunit 2 dvd (ps) (Translation: mj)

Late this year Kommunity Systems Limited will release a 'cross-platform development package':

»Kommunity Systems Limited will be working towards an initial cross-platform development package for later this year, using off-the-shelf open source tools. Kommunity Systems Limited is pleased to announce this will be undertaken in support of hardware developer Ideas2Reality.« (ps) (Translation: mj)
