Other Companies copy Amiga's and TAO's Ideas
Hendrik Mikael Kristensen worte on ANN that on the pages of the Danish news service SOL.dk his attention was called to the fact that possibly other companies are desirous of copying Amiga's idea of the "write once - run everywhere" philosophy, thus pushing Amiga out of the market even before they get in there.

The article is talking about QualComm trying to create a standard operating system called BREW[TM], Binary Runtime Environment, to be used on cell phones. If you take away Wireless you (almost) have what TAO Group is doing.

Due to QualComm's particulars this works with every device equipped with their DMA chipsets. BREW[TM] sits between the chip system software and the application allowing programmers to let their applications access the cell phone's functionality without having the chip system source code or a relationship with a handset manufacturer.

QualComm want to electronically certify all BREW[TM] programs before they can run on consumer products and ask a fee from every of those spreading such programs (cell phone companies). Hendrik thinks this might be indicating how important this technology will be for the future.
