Amiga!
What is Amiga All About?

Features of the Amiga Digital Environment

  • "Write Once- Run Everywhere" -- This statement has been the mantra for tired and weary developers. The new Amiga is being designed to make good on this promise and present developers with unprecedented options and flexibility.
  • Scalability - Because the new Amiga DE is less than 5 megabytes, Amiga is scalable, and can fit on a cell phone and scale up to multi-processor servers. All content created for Amiga is 100% binary compatible. This means that developers are able to create content and applications and deal with the markets they want to target.
  • Content Creation Through Software Development -- For the developer, the new Amiga is 100% binary compatible across all platforms supported. This means that an application can truly be written one time and can operate in hosted environments (running on top of or through another OS) such as Windows, Windows NT, Linux, Windows CE, Palm, Epoc, OS/9, iTron, QNX, VXWorks, and others. This fact alone has the potential to redefine the development of computer games. Amiga can also operate the entire system with native versions of the DE for PPC, x.86, StrongARM, ARM, Hitachi SH, NEC 85x, M*Core, Mips, and others.
  • Amiga developers are able to use Java, C, C++, or Amiga VP Assembler in creating their applications. This flexibility is already gaining new market acceptance as over 15,000 Amiga Software Development Kits (right) have been sold, and with the new additions of 3D, Sound, and User Experience API's it is sure to gain even more ground as the developers platform of choice.
