MorphOS: Commercial use of a Hollywood program as an interactive terminal
Press release: Christoph and Sébastien Poelzl, two nice representatives of RMS-Communications, have made a project of interactive terminal based on Hollywood under MorphOS. It consists of a 22" touch-screen using the USB stack Poseidon under MorphOS installed on a 1,5 GHz Mac mini.

This device is in commercial service at the private hospital Bois-Cerf in Lausanne/Switzerland (Photos: 1, 2, 3, 4).

The interactive device is a sign post for patients and visitors, showing them their way through the building.

This interactive terminal project ist part of a much more important framework which will have to implement touch-sensitive screens which can go upto 42" and even beyond. They can be proposed on various markets and could be placed in luxury hotels, tourist information offices and in other private or public areas.

In parallel RMS-Communications has commissioned and collaborated with Andreas Falkenhahn of Airsoft Softwair to develop Hollywood applications on iPad.

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 (amiga-news.de reported). 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 subjected to. For commercial customers, however, several solutions to get their Hollywood projects converted into iPad apps can be offered.

Furthermore that's not all, as Christoph Poelzl of RMS-Communications works in close collaboration with Andreas Falkenhahn, Hollywood Designer's developer, thus having the privilege of betatesting his products. At Alchimie 111111 in France he was allowed to show the next version of Hollywood Designer 3.1.

About RMS-Communications:

RMS-Communications is known and recognized as an innovative agency at the level of advertising and communication in French-speaking Switzerland. It's unique feature is the work with MorphOS (on Pegasos and Apple Mac), involving a lot of software writing.

It was also already noticed by collaborating with Relec on some events. Moreover RMS-Communications received the first "Communication and offer of service Trophy" during the Multimedia Exhibition of Colmar (France) in 2009 for the development of its management software for SMEs, based on MorphOS. The jury of Colmar had been convinced by all the alternative advantages of MUIBase SME: cross-platform, portable, very friendly and a smooth graphic interface for a complete solution and sold at moderate costs to SME (small and medium-sized enterprise): Feature article (PDF, french only).

Jens Schönfeld: Status update for several projects
In a thread on a1k.org, Jens Schönfeld has given an overview about the status of several projects. The thread can only be read by registerted users, therefore it follows a short summary:

1. Indivision AGA MK2

I have the last prototype since the end of October but I did not have had time for building it up. I will do it in January with the help of Michael Böhmer.

2. Indivision ECS

Occasionally there have been some delivery delays. This is due to an increased demand for this Flickerfixers during the last eight weeks. Unfortunately the store is almost empty. New Flickerfixers are being produced but I cannot guarantee they are available before Xmas. There will be not any changes.

3. ACA1231-42

I am still waiting for the delivery of Winbond. It is sure that the board has the fastest SD-Ram which is available on market. Unfortunately there have been delays. Therefore we had to put off the production again and again. In the next week we can continue. Most likely the board will be finished until Xmas.

4. Micromys V3

Simlar to Indivision ECS: The inventory is low, the demand constant and a new charge is being produced.

5. ACA520

The announced accelerator board for the A500 will have to wait until next year.

6. Nequester

The next generation router is the real reason that all the other projects are delayed. We habe been working several months on it and finally in November we succeeded in getting it working. In the next year Nequester will be also available as retail sale as requested. The router will be available at Vesalia in 2012.
