One of the most legendaric computer manufacturers of all time, if not
the most legendaric of them all,
Commodore, is back. Well, it is not entirely true. There wont be a new Commodore computers available, at least not in foreseeable future, but the Dutch company called
Tulip who purchased the Commodore brand back in 1997 after the once-giant computer maker had went bust, plans to launch a line of digital audio players in August that carry the name of Commodore.
The names of the players are straight from the history books
(with a modern twist, of course): the most interesting device seems to the
e-Vic (as in Vic-20) which has 20GB HDD, 128x64 pixel screen and it supports MP3s, WMAs and WAVs. Other devices are called
m-Pet and
f-Pet and are based on flash memory and can have storage space of 128MB or 256MB.
