CeBIT 2003 - Visit to Genesi (Update II)
Martin Heine describes his impressions of Genesi's convention stand at this year's CeBIT 2003 in Hannover. You'll find a few pictures at the end of his report.

The first appearance of Genesi at the CeBIT in Hannover takes place at the stand of Plexus - on the other hand Plexus will be Genesi's guest at this year's CeBIT Australia.

Pegasos computers with MorphOS installed are being shown, another board separately for demonstrational purposes, as well as case prototypes for example for the Pegasos homeserver Psylent or high end "set top boxes" (as opposed to smaller, simpler DTV STBs).

One of the Pegasos computers is to be found in a prototype case, which was also just displayed in Aachen: here sits a micro ATX board directly behind an LCD display, and in the base you'll find for example the CD drive and the frontal USB connections.

As a small new MorphOS development (in relation to the latest update on the FTP server) a transparent menu option is there, as well as a graphical selector for setting Preferences.

In the way of programming, Internet and multimedia software were shown, as well as a range of emulators, for example Bochs, through which Windows95 was run in an Ambient window on the G3/600 Pegasos.

There were no new press releases, at least not on the first day of the convention, but it was confirmed that the long awaited Articia Northbridges from Mai arrived by Genesi in the meantime, so the last run of Pegasos boards may now go into production.

Addtionally Arend-Paul Spijkerman, the developer of Mediapoint, was hired by Genesi. With this product, combined with Pegasos and MorphOS, Genesi is able to open another market segment, and Ron van Herk hopes to be able to demonstrate this at CeBIT Australia.

No official news was offered about the Pegasos II, however one may be confident that the development might be concluded earlier than expected.

Finally, a TV crew paid Genesi a visit: Ralph Benz von "Neues..." (ZDF/3sat) was reported in detail on Wednesday about current events related to Pegasos and MorphOS and he'll be back again with the camera crew to film on the second day of the convention. (nba)
