Nice spot!

Well, the article has some interesting points:

Quote:

the financial analysis firm Dun & Bradstreet estimated the company's total revenue last year at $1.6 million.

I just can't imagine that these money come from selling games for cellphones, PDAs etc, only!

Quote:

Whatever the company's future might hold, it currently registers barely a blip in the wireless and computing worlds

I guess that "blip" are we!

Quote:

Business records show Amiga legally shut down its Washington company in 2004. The new company — which McEwen said is legally separate from the old one and not obligated to pay those past debts — is registered as a Delaware corporation with headquarters in New York.

Man, If I ever need financial advice on "how to srew people", I surely know where to find them!

Quote:

"It doesn't make a huge lot of sense to drop $10 million on marketing with naming rights when they don't have a lot to market," Enderle said. "It seems like a company that is trying to make it look like they are larger than they are to attract investors."

And that's the truth my friends

This shows the tenacity of our community members after the fluff pieces came out to make sure the reporters knew there were things worth looking into.

Now that the Seattle Times has done a piece its probably worth re-approaching some of the other publications who did stories on the deal as well. Perhaps they can bring to light more info.

We also may want to see if there are any newspapers in India that can perhaps help with looking into Amiga Development India and the claims made in regard to it.

The more of us that write asking for this the more likely it will be done so that we can get more info, whether good or bad, promising or not.

And I'm glad Mr. Peck was afforded another chance to tell his story as well too.
