AROS: First ABI-V1-Nightly-Build booted
For some time developers of the operating system AROS have been working on a new application binary interface. From today the first booting Nightly Build based on this ABI V1 is available.
Please note that this software is not compatible to existing AROS-software (ABI V0) and is only meant for testing purposes for developers.
The change of the application binary interface mainly affects AROS/x86 because for this architecture most of the (V0-) software exists. AROS/68k already includes most of the compatibility fixes.

Cheap Amiga-Tablets, exclusive desktop computer planned
Since April Amiga Inc. offers some parts of the announced entertainment electronics sold by IContain with Amiga label in its shop. While IContain also offers Amiga TV and phones, Amiga Inc. is focused on Android 2.2-based Tablet-PCs - currently there is an offer of a 7 inch-OC for 98 USD.
Since six months the company has had sites at Facebook and Twitter to advertise its products.
Some weeks ago Barry "digitex" Altman working for Commodore USA has stated that his announced Amiga-PCs will not try to compete with the mass-produced PCs by Dell: The planned devices will only contain precious components and cost more than 2500 USD.
On commodore.net which is the official website of Commodore USA, some of the announced Amiga models are introduced: Amiha 1000x, 2000x, 3000x and 4000x.
The presented case pictures are identical with the pictures of the website of the producer OrigenAE and were only completed with Commodore and Amiga logos.
