Maybe some of you guys know recently there was a fairly huge (in the Amiga world) Amiga event in Germany (aka the capital of Amigaism in the world).

There where some groundbreaking news there such as X1000 news, MorphOS news and other stuff of coolnes from the world of Amiga that refuses to die.

Lets have 10 more years, lets celebrate with these images and videos if you missed this event!

Photos and videos (a bit slow server, varning, maybe he is running it on 68k Amiga system?)

Here is a video of the dual core Amiga X1000 system

Another video of the X1000 in action

Here is a Apple G4 Powerbook running MorphOS

MorphOS are evolving at a blazing speed these days!

As if a demo of MorphOS 3 on the Apple Powerbook was not enough, here is showinfo screen from an Apple Powermac G5 system running at 2.7 GHz, just think about how fast 68k system friendly Amiga applications will run on this system!

Straight from the dev team of MorphOS, the OS of the morph aka MorphOS is soon running on old Apple “quicksilver” G4 towers. These run up to 1.8 GHz (or up to 2 GHz with special turbos), meaning, it could potentially be the fastest Amiga system in the world soon.

Already MorphOS runs on the Mac Mini, but G4 towers are so much cheaper second hand thand Mac Mini. As a matter of fact, I found a G4 “quicksilver” in a dumpster last week, I thought “hmm I should take it home if Morph-team releases MorphOS for it” but decided not to, argh!

Who is not salivating over the prospect of running the slickest and nicest looking AmigaOS-likeable AmigaOS system on the nicest designed computers, do not lie to me, I know you want one too

Having actually tried a previous version of MorphOS I can say that it is an insanely fast, very, very slick improved Workbench on stereoids, just as with AmigaOS4.1 it has a compatibility layer with system friendly classic 68k applications and many ported applications known from the Amiga world.

MorphOS is constantly under development and lately the Amiga world got shocked by the incredible news of MorphOS running on the G4 Mac mini, judging by this thread at amiga.org initiated by Piru, world famous for creating short (as in very short) posts consisting of the word “no”, Powerbook G4 seems like the next step for MorphOS – the closest to a proper Amiga notebook the Amiga world will have.

But as usual in Amiga world, there is no definitive anwser, and no official roadmap when, where, how. But at least there is a video showing it off, maybe next year?

If you prefer the Morph way of OS, DL it now and surf the web in higha qualiti

MorphOS install on Apple Mac Mini

The OS feels to SUPER FAST. PC not included the emotional performance of this system. A reboot is very fast. It takes the longest hardware initialization of the Mac Mini, about 10 seconds. To begin with MorphOS boot … is the desktop in about 5 seconds. The boot screen with the MorphOS logo is a oogblink disappeared.

I hope that made sense to you, Google translate ownz :)

Already rumours and images have been shown of MorphOS running on Apple notebook, whats next? G4 towers, TiBook and Powerbooks?

Expect prices of vintage Apple PPC gear to rise steadily if an official statement is released from the MorphOS devs! (we can only hope).
