I kind of see their destination, but worry about the first steps they have taken so far.
That website is an abomination. At the moment they don't have an AROS distro to put on their machines. Plus, actually they don't have a machine.
Maybe it would have been more effective to get some capable (Industrial) Designer dude doing some work on a product/case/CI/AROS-Workbench-theme whatever, and when stuff looks kind of presentable, do some serious and professional presentation on your website or whereever.
Well, that's at least how it works in the rest of the world.
What we get is some ten year old JPGs stolen from various websites thrown unto us.
Amiga curse in full effect. I call it..
Shaking my head in disbelief. Honestly..

They are not going for a niche market, they are trying to "mainstreamizise" it. You and I and Commodore USA all know a company cannot prosper on amiga market that is today alone. Several thousand users at the most. Why is that so hard to understand to some other people is beyond me.
They will be selling Win/Linux powered Commodore PCs/netbooks... and I'm guessing most of their profits will be coming that way. The Amiga business is probably a long term pet project into reviving the brand with some new ideas.
There will be no profits. The PC market is brutally cost-conscious. Low-volume, custom-case designs, probably hand-assembled using low-volume component purchases spells trouble.
Here is how the company should be run:
1. Cost out products 2. Look at possible market penetration using third-party assessments 3. Build products 3. Announce and have product ready to ship
Does anyone remember the new "Commodore" PC company? Came on the scene about a year or two ago with fancy branded cases with typical PC guts. Where are they now? The market has already spoken.
