Amiga Inc. and products? Good joke.
I have been following the delevelopments in the Amiga scene for some years now, out of interest, if the Amiga might succeed in a comeback. But since quite some time, the Amiga seems to go downhill and becoming retro once and for all.
AmigaOS 4 is still being developed, yes but there is no hardware, no computer avaiable to run it on, since the production of the AmigaOne boards has ceased long ago.
They have an OS but no system to run it on. This is becoming extremly frustating and has accelerated the shrinking of the userbase.
Amiga Inc. is the main cause for all this misery. They are sitting on the rights and licenses, simply doing nothing at all. There seems to be zero activity other than ridiculous partnerships with sports teams and halfhearted re-designs of their website.
But they are doing nothing to help AmigaOS 4 get a chance. Some guys in Italy are working on a OS4-compatible ppc-board ("Samantha") but nobody knows if they will get a license.
It looks like the Amiga is dying and Amiga Inc. doesn't care at all. Instead, they are teaming up with the city of Kent, investing millions into the construction of a "Amiga Center" or whatever it is called, some kind of a community center.
Its just sad. A company selling nothing, unwilling to support their only interesting product (OS4), a company that is doing almost nothing now is throwing away its money.
If Amiga Inc. would get involved with GPH, it would be a bad omen for sure.
But I think thats very improbable. They just needed a picture of some handheld and photoshopped that thing together.
