Have they lost their mind?

What browser does your car run? What good is it if it can't surf the web.

Anyone I want...FoMoCo is introducing wireless WiFi hotspots in it's vehicles with the latest generation of SYNC with factory installed 3G Modems. GM is doing dealer installed WiFi options.

I know you are just being silly because soon fridges and shoes will have WiFi and all kinds of stuff but - which would you buy yo surf the web (if that is what you wanted to do) a car or a 400 dollar PC?

I'm pretty sure that you would be getting the car for other reasons first.

A friend has a fridge with a built in PC. One can surf the web from the touchscreen. Also, it can track groceries and email your order into the grocerystore for delivery or pick up. Not sure how much it was.

Shoes with Wifi? You mean besides the Nike+iPod combo?

If one needs a car to get to work and a PC why not combine the purchase into 1 and pay 1 bill? This makes sense.

Realistically the world is moving to mobile computing. Browsers on phones are the thing. If someone is an infrequent computer user this is a great option. Office Mobile 7 will enhance these further by allowing Excel and Word within a browser.

Now if the Amiga had a modern browser....

Or you can spend the cost of a small used car and get an x1000 that can't surf the web! Sorry, couldn't resist. :mrgreen:

Touche! :roflmao:

Case in point, I used to own a Peg2 but hardly ever used it.

Peg1, A1 and A1200 all here but none have been used in ages.

I just had a quick scan of the avaiable information and must admit I'm intrigued, despite having no requirement for such a machine.

What's the latest in development tools for the new OS? SAS C was cool but it was MC68K code.

gcc

I found this interesting: http://amineat.net
Seems like an STL knock off. No one has already ported STL to Amiga? I guess this also means the Amiga gcc supports templates (I know SAS C didn't)? Any decent debuggers that can display data inside templated classes? I found VisualC 6 completely incapable of displaying data inside templated classes, but VisualC 2005 is pretty good and is a feature I'd not easily give up.
