NewsTek Episode #9 - Loooooooooong Line

After many millions of years of intense speaking, ninja video exercises and elaborate awesome crafty editing by DiscreetFX Studio's... NewsTek Episode nine is now complete. This episode is special video one. The NewsTek Show is from the Producers of Amiga Roundtable and Carrier Whistle. NewsTek focuses on NewTek products, digital lifestyle and tech satire. We also include just a dash of Amiga to help expand the market. In this episode we cover the launch of the iPhone 4 in Chicago and we manage to sneak in some Amiga plugs and promotion for Amiga game developers.

London, 17th June 2010

A-EON Technology CVBA and Varisys Ltd., are pleased to announce their partnership in the development of the AmigaOne X1000 hardware platform for AmigaOS.

Varisys Ltd were identified as the ideal hardware partner for the ambitious project to create a new, genuinely modern computer system to run AmigaOS4.x in late 2008, even before the formal creation of A-EON Technology. In early 2009, Varisys Ltd began work on developing a new PowerPC based motherboard, codenamed Nemo, which would form the heart of the new AmigaOne X1000 computer. After months of design and testing, Varisys delivered the first Nemo prototypes in late 2009 and have now completed a Revision 2 design, which will be supplied to beta testers under the recently announced Extended Beta Test Program.

The previous update brought to surface a couple of nasty bugs, but with this update they will not show up anymore. But that's not all: the occasion has been seized also to raise the number of missions to 40 and to add a new translation!
