We sell 15000 units and a contirbution goes to the MOS Team...... say £50 for each unit....
how much is that?
That's very much, yes. I fully agree.
Actually too much.
You would NEVER sell 15000 units equipped with such (non tablet-optimized) niche OS as MorphOS.
Not only would it (also) include the common "lack of software" issue, it would be worse than ever (no way to run any 68k software without UAE, or even PPC native MorphOS software that's never ported to ARM due to developer quitting, losing sources or whatever)
The big question: "Would I buy one?"
No. As long as there are MorphOS systems available that:
1)Can run more software (PPC and 68k binaries)
2)Have a real keyboard (sure, I can add one to a pad, but then it would lose all "pad appeal" it ever had (none for me anyway))
I agree. Mobility is one thing. But then again, I'd much rather get a proper laptop instead, and hey, we are likely to get Mac laptop support before ANY arm support (if ever, likely never)
