@AndiraC64@commodoreofcl Ich bin gespannt was noch alles kommt zum installieren. Freue mich jedenfalls wie Bolle auf mein Beiges im klassischen Commodore-Look und auf die Klingeltöne.
On this day in 1978: STAR TREK (Version 17) was released for the Commodore PET/CBM! 🖖
It was one of the earliest microcomputer classics — command the USS Enterprise, hunt Klingons across a galaxy map, manage your phasers & warp energy.
A BASIC game that helped launch gaming on personal computers. Did you play it? #StarTrek #CommodorePET #RetroGaming
🎉 41 years ago today — July 23, 1985 — Commodore launched the Amiga 1000 at Lincoln Center in New York City and completely changed personal computing. Restored and presented in 1080p HD
In front of a star-studded audience, Andy Warhol live-painted Debbie Harry (Blondie) on stage using the Amiga, proving this machine was something special.
This wasn’t just another computer — it was the birth of multimedia computing.
✅ True preemptive multitasking
✅ Up to 4096 colors & advanced custom graphics chips
✅ 4-channel stereo sampled sound
✅ Years ahead of Apple, IBM, and Atari
The Amiga 1000 brought professional-level graphics, sound, and creativity into people’s homes for the first time.

THEA1200 is going into production. It’ll ship with Workbench 3.1, WHDLoad, USB support and Amiga 500, A1200 and CD32 modes. Here’s what Retro Games has confirmed about compatibility, features and the finished firmware. #Amiga#THEA1200#RetroGaming https://t.co/XBEHTYHdRj
I have added performance comparisons with other minimalistic phones and the camera comparison chart. This helps give a true overview of the Commodore Callback 8020.
I am not associated with Commodore. I spent 10 years running a very successful telecommunications company, managing government mobile accounts, and have kept a keen interest in mobiles ever since. I have seen the movement away from smartphones and see real value in this latest release.
It is not for everyone—many will hate it, some will embrace it—but I don't see Commodore fans as the main customer base. It will appeal most to Gen Z, who can easily afford the $399 Callback since ~85–94% own iPhones costing $799–$1,599+. Only time will tell if Commodore markets it right to this generation, which is leading the digital detox movement.
I hope you find my research in the X Article informative whether you are a fan of the idea or not. Thank you for reading it either way.
Commodore announced the new Commodore Callback 8020 mobile phone. What can it do? What can't it do? Who is is made for?
