I don't know much about Yeahronimo, but it seems as though they're mainly a company that works with digital music downloads. Tulip was selling some portable music players in Europe under the Commodore brand name; apparently, this fits in well with Yeahronimo's strategy. Of course, Tulip also helped bring to fruition the Commodore 64 Direct-to-TV self-contained video game unit, which was released last month.

As long as they continue to do things with the technology and the brand, I'll be relatively happy. Shit, I could have probably bought out Commodore at some point.

Yeahronimo is the coolest company name EVAR

Man, a Commodore-branded mp3 player would be the SHIT.

My Commodore Vic 20 was my first console/computer ever. You will never be forgotten.

Well, when I got my C64, I actually forgot about it. Wow, talk about an upgrade.

Ok, ok, Commodore in general, you will never be forgotten.

Man, a Commodore-branded mp3 player would be the SHIT.

Specially if it's called SiD. I'd buy one for sure.

have we finally entered the era of there being no decent names left? "yeahronimo"? that's appallingly crappy.

Commodore will never die...

Specially if it's called SiD. I'd buy one for sure.

They should also include a video out and some kind of d-pad controls so you could plug that mp3 player into your tv and play some C64 games. Shouldnt be too difficult to implement.
