X1000 is unreleased!

it's vaporware —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.98.29.243 (talk) 16:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this hardware is not released!

But the Amiga is making a proper comeback, finally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.120.73 (talk) 12:28, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point? It won't be capable of running modern (2010 era) software. The market share will be too low to see ports of any major software. According to the FAQ, the X1000 will be capable of playing Quake 3 but not Quake 4. A low end PC can play Quake 4 these days!
From a technical point of view, the X1000 will be capable to run Quake 4 and (probably) any other game based on id Tech 4. When this will happen depends on when id will release the source code of id Tech 4. According to [[1]], it should be released this year.--151.8.79.164 (talk) 16:11, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So seriously, what's the point? Nostalgia? Stick with your old Amiga or use an emulator173.58.53.212 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

This article should not exist until the AmigaOne X1000 does, if it does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.175.31 (talk) 10:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many articles have been made in the past, for forthcoming products or events, and cited based on official or reliable sources. —ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ (ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ) 16:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should nominate this article for deletion. Article is not encyclopedic. Subject does not even exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.207.18 (talk) 04:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. This is a planned release. There is a Wikipedia article about Pokemon Black and White, so should we delete this too? Maybe we should delete Second Coming of Christ—that hasn't happened yet, either, and many people don't believe it ever will. What about planned Mars missions or NASA's Constellation_program? Things that haven't happened yet can still be notable. There is room for improvement, but that doesn't mean it should be thrown away. Eris Discord | Talk 20:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, it's just yet another random Windows-loving jackhole who talks crap online. There's one on every single tech-related discussion page. —ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ (ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ) 06:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, looking at that IP's edit history, they seem to have some strange anti-Amiga chip on their shoulder. Keep an eye on this page for that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wōdenhelm (talk • contribs) 06:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest merging this article with main AmigaOne article. This thingy is not released until christmas 2010 and at this moment there is nothing special with this machine.Xorxos (talk) 22:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. See above for the reasons why its release being in the future isn't an issue. For the issue of merging, consider this: Wikipedia has an article for the whole iMac family as well as separate articles for the iMac G3, G4, G5 and the assorted Intel iMac models. The situation is analogous for the AmigaOne series, since the A-Eon AmigaOne has less in common with its Eyetech predecessors than an iMac G4 does with a G3. 89.243.24.176 (talk) 23:32, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other articles are irrelevant to this discussion. Every article should be reviewed on their own.Xorxos (talk) 08:38, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Of course other articles are relevant. If the iMac articles set the precedent of having a separate article for each major revision, that precedent should be applied here. Given that the AmigaOne series is much smaller volume than the iMac series, obviously we wouldn't have separate articles for the A1-SE A1-XE and uA1, but it makes sense to have an 'AmigaOne (Eyetech)' article and a separate 'AmigaOne (A-Eon)' section, since the two are very different machines that just happen to share the AmigaOne brand. The 'AmigaOne (A-Eon)' article might as well be called 'AmigaOne X1000' for now, since it is so far the only machine in A-Eon's AmigaOne lineup. 89.243.24.176 (talk) 11:14, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you say we should delete separate artciles for the iMac G3, G4 etc. I am all for it. Still, if you actually read those pages you would find out they have content and notability. This AmigaOne X1000 article is only spec sheet. Where is the story behind machine? What makes this particular AmigaOne model important? Please tell us. Tell us in the article.Xorxos (talk) 20:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, big edit time. Added History and a section on the Xena Coprocessor. 89.243.24.176 (talk) 01:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Presumably, PPC Linux such as Debian will be avaliable for the system, as it exists fro all PPC Amiga boards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.121.7.179 (talk) 17:26, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

computer vs Amiga in the summary

I see there were some fights for the very first words: "AmigaOne X1000 is a PowerPC-based computer". Although AmigaOne was (according to Bill McEwen in 2002) intended for "rebirth of the Amiga desktop platform", I think it would be better to use plain word "computer" for the initial description - it really is not necessary to repeat what is obvious (AmigaOne is now de facto PowerPC Amiga desktop platform). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavlor (talk • contribs) 19:01, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the AmigaOne article I used "series of Amiga branded computers", so something like "AmigaOne X1000 is a PowerPC-based Amiga branded computer" could be useable? Your opinions?--Pavlor (talk) 19:08, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How A-eon is calling it? Xorxos (talk) 19:57, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A-EON certainly doesn´t use sole word "Amiga" for describing its new computer. I think we both agree that original wording "computer" is most appropriate here. I tried to find some compromise ("Amiga branded computer"), but that didn´t satisfy that one user promoting word "Amiga". My current position is no compromise - I support using plain word "computer", because using "Amiga" would open endless discussusions what is and what is not Amiga - really not something that should be in encyclopedia.--Pavlor (talk) 20:06, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
