MPEG player: Frogger 1.65rc5 for PowerPC released
A new version of the Amiga MPEG animation player ´Frogger´ for PowerPC
computers has been released. With this it is now possible to select several
animations at once that are then played one after another.
The graphical user interface (GUI) has been revised and causes less often a
system crash. The speed was also part of the revision and much has been improved.
In case that the original Frogger website (title link) is too slow, you can use
this mirror site for
downloading, too. The program is shareware and can be registered either directly
at the author Sebastian Jëdruszkiewicz in Poland or for German readers at
Fun Time World. (ps)

New pictures and report from the 'Japanese Business Show 2001'
As already reported,
Sharp Corporation presented the Sharp Zaurus pocket computer with AmigaDE as application
for the first time at their booth at the 'Japanese Business Show 2001' in Tokyo. Ralph
Ewers, an amiga-news.de reader currently living in Tokyo, has visited the show for us
and sent us more pictures and a small report.
Ralph Ewers had the chance to talk to Sharp's planning manager and obtain the following
information:
The Zaurus is supposed to be available in America this autumn running Linux (in English) instead
of the Japanese ZaurusOS. The American version will most likely contain some improvements:
in the same case, a faster CPU may be built into (the current CPU was at times indeed
slow running the DE), a battery with longer life and a keyboard with larger keys is planned
as well. Whether AmigaDE will be included depends on the licence fees which are currently
not decided yet. A first prototype of the English Zaurus may be seen at the Java-One taking
place in early June in America.
At least, Bill McEwen (here only called "Mister Bill" since it's easier to pronounce for
the Japanese) has had some successful meetings with a Sharp manager (these personal
meetings are very important!). He's at least in e-mail contact with the "planning manager"
I spoke to.
Amiga is definitely seen "only" as "content provider". A native DE hasn't been
thought about so far. (At least that's the official reply!)
Other "highlights":
The color display of the Palm m505 is at least in the default configuration
rather ugly and strongly reminds of the PalmIIIc. It also reflects awfully
(it has that - sadly - in common with the Zaurus). Regarding this, the
Cassiopeia s700 (or was it i700) impressed me very much. Subjectively not
any heavier than a Palm V (slightly deeper) and a great display with higher
resolution.
Logitec plans to release a DVD-R/RW (yes, "R") drive with FireWire in June,
the price is interesting: 120,000 Yen (plus 5% tax here in Japan).
Bluetooth was a big topic. Panasonic for example has presented miscellaneous
hardware; some kind of Gameboy, headphones, expansion cards for the
memory card slot and so on, and there's also a lot of choice for the Zaurus.

Bars&Pipes Professional 2.5c source code available
Alfred Faust wrote:
»Today, Todor Fay gave me the permission to make the source code of
Bars&Pipes Professional 2.5c available to the public.
He asked me to spread this information as far as possible. Thus
I ask you to pass on this information to all those who are interested.
A group of programmers looked at the source, completed it and cleaned as many
errors as possible; made it compliant to the new ANSI-C standard (as far as
possible and necessary), adapted it to several compilers (CompilerSpecific.h
was built in), tested it with SAS/C 6.50 and DICE 3.16.
Any commercial distribution is prohibited. A release on Amiga CDs is no problem.
Distributors of Amiga CDs who want to release the source code on a CD are asked
to contact me.« (ps)

Game: Amerikan Chajnik In Russia
This game dedicated to all "Simpsons" cartoon fans. But now Homer Simpson
adventures are in Russia. The word "chajnik" in title mean "dummy" (it's
Russian slang). This is first (not last, I hope) big game project from
Russia. Autor -- Vladimir Berezenko aka Q-Master. Original version of this
game was developed by Vlad Scherbakov and Renat Farhulin (aka Mr. Gluk)
for ZX-Spectrum (yea, this computer still popular here in Russia).
There are English text strings in the game - you have to click on "AMERIKA"
on the title screen to play in English instead of Russian.
There also is an English text version of this game. To play this you have to
click on "Amerika" on the title screen.

Audio: ProStationAudio Update - 24bit Import
Beyond 16bit audio.
The current trend in the audio industry is to propose
alternatives to 16bit audio storage. Efforts are
targeting opposite directions: uncompressed high
resolution (24bit/96KHz) and high compression ratios
(MPEG).
In order to keep up to date in handling data generated
by latest Mac and Windows audio applications the new
ProStationAudio 4.10 now can import and convert to
16bit for multitrack editing from:
- 24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) AIFF (Macintosh)
- 24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) WAV (Windows)

From: Ray A. Akey
To: press@lists.amiga.com
Subject: AMIPRESS: FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
AmigaDE and AmigaOS beta testers wanted
Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 04:11:50 -0400
Beta Testers and Developers
Amiga Inc. is looking for beta testers to test AmigaOS
4.0 and AmigaDE third party applications for Amiga
developers. Payment for all beta testers will be one
licensed copy of whatever you test.
Please follow the procedure below:
To be considered, you must point your browser to
http://www.amigadev.net. Look to the right hand menu bar
and click the link that says "Join Amiga Support".
Fill in the form as completely as possible. In the text
block, list any Amiga applications you have beta tested.
Once the form is completely filled in, click "save".
Then, log in to the amigadev site using your new ADxxxx
number that you will receive from filling in the form.
Look to the right hand menu bar under "Legal" and grab a
copy of the Amiga Inc. NDA. Fill in the NDA and fax to
425-396-5660 Attn: Gary or mail to:
Amiga Inc.
Attn: Gary
34935 SE Douglas #210
Snoqualmie, Wa 98065
Amiga Inc. is also requesting all active AmigaOS and
AmigaDE developers to follow the above procedures with
the exception of filling in the form as a "developer"
rather than a "beta tester". Send us a copy of the NDA.
Once a developer has his AD number and NDA in to Amiga
Inc. proper permissions will be set so that you can
reach NDA areas of the web site.
If you have properly installed the AmigaDE SDK you will
already have an AD number.
This one number is good for any and all installations
and testings.
For immediate publication.

Eyetech: Price for AmigaOne not announced, yet
Alan Redhouse of Eyetech has posted to the comments of
ANN a comment about the mentioned price for the
AmigaOne boards. He said that Eyetech did not announce prices for their own
AmigaOne computer, yet. This is also applies to price declarations for
vendors.
The price independently mentioned by 'epic/amigastuff' he thinks to be
for testing purposes to find out about market reactions.
«1. no dealers have yet been announced
2. no pricing has yet been announced to any dealers
3. epic/amigastuff are just guessing to test the market reaction IMO.
4. none of this helps anybody.
Alan / Eyetech»
