    C= COMMODORE is back...

    Kinda sorta..

    http://www.pcworld.com/article/29484...oid-phone.html

    The legendary Commodore PET lives again, as a nostalgia-fueled Android phone
    Comes with C=64 and Amiga emulators.
    I can see a decent market for that phone. I certainly would consider checking it out, whether it's worth getting.
    A little piece of the best PC ever on the market would definitely be fun to have.

    It's a regular phone with emulators and name of the original Commodore. They get a F for FAIL!

    for $365 they can suck a mean one. who the hell would pay that for an emulator. one that might not even have games to run on it according to the article. wtf. just sell your emulators and roms. boom done.

    Never had a C64 but I do still have a have a working ZX-81 with 16K RAM pack and a few tapes that probably won't load any more.
