MorphOS: Datatypes replacement MOSMedia released
Grzegorz Kraszewski has created a Datatypes replacement for MorphOS called MOSMedia, which also features streaming. Thus, it is possible to view or listen to files while still downloading them.

Currently it is possible with audio files, an example "Soundplay" is included within the drawer "Examples". To start it it is required to copy the content of the drawer "Classes" to the drawer "MOSSYS:Classes/Multimedia". The implementation of the video codecs and display routines is currently under work.

Image editor: Pixel32 for MorphOS announced
Pavel Kanzelsberger, author of Pixel32, announces under the title link a port for MorphOS, to be presented in a few weeks. Pixel32 is an image/photo/animation painting/editing and retouching application usable for all kind of graphicians, but best for web designers (screenshot).

Some of its features:
  • multiplatform design with own skinnable GUI, which allows us running Pixel32 in Windows, BeOS and even in DOS
  • most of routines written in highly optimized 32-bit assembler decreasing program's size and increasing its speed
  • plugin architecture allows adding new effects, import/export plugins but also new dynamic brushes (called BrushFX), layer types etc.
  • supporting all popular file formats
  • support for layers, channels, masks, selections
  • support for animations, image clickmaps, slices, web optimizations and other webtools simplyfing your work
  • variety of brushes, including animated and full color brushes
  • variety of patterns allowing pattern-painting, texturizing and more
  • variety of color/alpha gradients with universal usage
  • templates, styles, layouts...
  • and much more...
Currently, as a Christmas present, Pixel32 can be purchased for USD 20 until end of the year. If one registers now, all updates until next major release (v2.0) will be free. Furthermore, the registration is platform independent, so that one can use his license also with upcoming ports to other operating systems.

There are demo versions of the current version 1.0 RC2 for Windows, Linux and BeOS/Zeta as well as of version 0.99.8 also for QNX, Solaris and MS-DOS. In these demo versions there are only two limitations: a visible watermark in the images and a small annoying dialog box informing about the usage of a demo version. (snx)

New PowerPC Products for the Classic Amiga (update)
ACK Software Controls, Inc. is pleased to announce two new products for the Amiga 1200. The first product is a Freescale 8245 based CPU card clocked at 400 MHz.

The card will have a SODIMM slot for memory expansion and also includes a Silicon Images 680 IDE controller and a Radeon Mobility graphics chip. This CPU card will fit in standard A1200 cases, but a towered system is recommended.

The second product is a modular busboard and CPU combination for use with towered A1200 machines. The bus board features an AGP 1X slot and three PCI slots. Additional features of the busboard include two DDR DIMM slots for memory expansion, a Silicon Images 680 IDE controller, onboard USB and ethernet. The CPU card will initially be a 750CXe product, but other CPUs will be available.

Both products will ship with an OEM version of AmigaOS 4 and contain a version of U-Boot as the firmware. Products are presently in prototype form running Linux and will be available in Q1 2005. Additional information will follow in the new year.

Sincerely,

Adam Kowalczyk
ACK Software Controls, Inc.

Update: (24.12.04, 2:30, cg)

In a thread on amiga.org, Adam Kowalczyk states that similar expansions are in the works as well. (cg) (Translation: cg)
