Amiga's main current product is Amiga Anywhere (also known as
AmigaDE (Digital Environment)). Amiga Anywhere is not related to
Classic AmigaOS in any way, shape or form, other than
that it holds true to the Amiga philosophy of rich multimedia and groundbreaking
technologies with a minimum footprint. Amiga Anywhere's main claim to fame is
Elate. Elate is a system that through the use of a Virtual Processor on a CII
(CPU Isolation Interface) and PII (Platform Isolation Interface) allows you to
write once, run anywhere. Elate, and it's shell "intent" are written by
the Tao Group who themselves hold a
philosphy of coding that has it's roots with the Amiga.
The obvious advantage for developers who use the Amiga Anywhere is that they
never need to port their code again. They can write their code and without so
much as recompiling run it on a wide variety of systems and even different
processors. If a system is not supported, only a new CII and/or PII need be
written and instantly ALL content created for the Amiga Anywhere will work on
it.
Okay, so it keeps developers happy, but what about end users? Picture this if
you can. You're sitting at work using your word-processor under Linux. It's
getting late and you want to go home, but you know you've got to have it done by
tomorrow. No problem, your word-processor happens to be an AmigaDE application,
so you transfer it to your PDA along with your document and carry on working on
it while on the train home. Then, once you get home, you transfer it to your
Windows 98 machine and carry on working. You won't have to worry about
compatibility, as the entire time you've been using the SAME word-processor, not
a "Linux port", a "PDA port" and a "Windows port", but the very same executable
program.
Now, I say it's "multimedia rich", but it runs on PDAs, how great can it be? I
took a couple of screenshots from my own AmigaDE development environment. Bear
in mind that everything you see (including Quake ;)) is perfectly capable of
running on ANY AmigaDE capable system (given RAM and storage constraints of
course).
