the first phase of the Amiga OS.
The new platform offers more features and flexibility to safely move
content from a physical to a digital environment and instantly run all
types of content on a variety of devices, including mobile phones,
cameras, audio and video players, STBs, laptops, PCs and servers.
The latest version of AmigaAnywhere facilitates rich-media content
featuring extraordinary audio-visual quality, high-speed interactive
gaming, education and entertainment anytime, anywhere. "The Amiga
world has waited long enough," said Bill McEwen, President of Amiga
Inc.
"AmigaAnywhere is the step forward we've been diligently pursuing,
making it easy to instantly and safely run all types of content on
their favorite devices. And we're thrilled to be able to unveil this
during CES at Digital Experience and hope to identify an additional,
new set of strong hardware partners as well."
New features of AmigaAnywhere 2 include a device-independent, single,
ubiquitous Virtual Environment (VEN) that functions across different
operating system and the Internet.
AmigaAnywhere 2 currently runs under Windows proper, Windows Mobile,
Linux for PCs and Linux for embedded systems. A Mac OS X version is on
its way, as well as a Symbian version.
AmigaAnywhere 2 (aka AmigaOS 5) made a covert appearance at an event
outside the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), turning up in the guise
of a version of Space Invaders running on a Windows Mobile 6-based
smartphone.
It has been pointed out that since AmigaAnywhere 2 effectively starts
up a virtual machine, boots AmigaOS and runs the code on top of that,
it makes it perfectly possible for Amiga users to fire it up and run
the Amiga GUI instead of a game.
Under the new platform, consumers are able to have the same user
experience to engage in activities such as listening to music, surfing
the net, buying video, editing photos, or working on work contracts.
AmigaAnywhere dynamically scales the applications/services to the
accessory device.

regions; but what did all these amount to, so long as slavery could
exist? There had to be one sweeping, general emancipation of slaves
wherever they were found, under whatever circumstances, and when the
state of slavery was abolished, the trade in slaves died a natural
death. The words of Mr. Francis concerning conditions at Hong Kong
bear directly on this point: "Until the system of prostitution which
prevails in this Colony ... is declared to be _slavery_, and treated
and punished as such in Hong Kong, no stop will ever be put to the
kidnaping of women and the buying and selling of female children in
Hong Kong. This buying and selling and kidnaping is only an effect, of
which the existing system of Chinese prostitution is the cause."
In 1880, Mr. Berry, a member of the House of Representatives from
California, made use, in a debate in the House, of the argument that
"if the British authorities had not been able to prevent slavery from
being practiced in Hong Kong, there would

AA2 DOES NOT RUN AMIGA OS. It may run some OS that it calls AOS but this
is nothing whatsoever to do with Workbench etc.
Although - seeing as AInc. and Hyperion are in 'talks' until at least
September - who knows what might happen. Maybe they'll all kiss and make up?
