Press release: Hollywood has recently been ported to the iPad (ARM architecture) by order of a commercial customer who needs to use it on tablet devices in clinics and hotels. A small demo video of Hollywood running on iPad has been uploaded to YouTube.
Unfortunately, it will most likely not be possible to integrate iPad support into Hollywood's cross-compiler because of several technical and legal restrictions that iPad apps are subject to. For commercial customers, however, we can now offer several solutions to get their Hollywood projects converted into iPad apps. Please contact us.

The developers group OnyxSoft has updated two of their programs: BackUp and DECH.
BackUp 1.71
An average copying speed in kB or MB/s has been added to Daniel 'Deniil' Westerberg's backup tool. It will show up after finishing. It's mostly interesting when you make the first complete backup, since all time is considered, not just during actual copying.
Please note that if you transfer more than 2.5 TB in one go, the speed calculator won't cope.

Amiga-Meeting 2011: Further exhibitors, dealers and developers wanted
The organisers of this year's Amiga-Meeting in Bad Bramstedt (near Hamburg), Germany, are still looking for further exhibitors, dealers and developers to take part. So far almost 40 participants have been registered. Among them are for example Alinea Computer, Geit, Entwickler-X and the creators of Boingsworld and AmitopiaTV.
Especially AROS has been widely missing in the previous years, thus especially developers of this operating system are very welcome. In this context Sven Scheele of Amiga-Club Schleswig-Holstein would like to remind everyone that developers get a discount on their registrations.
