@BigBentheAussie

The Sam460 is 1GHz and is physically very small. It'd make a nice netbook is what I was saying.
As to the Amigo's clock speed, 1GHz next to a 1.5GHz isn't really relevant. On a single core, its still too slow for anything more than browsing, to the customer on the street.

If you want 8-bit emu on a Standard definition TV, why not do the C64 on a joystick thing? FPGAs are cheap.

I've said it before - a Commodore-Amiga (Maybe an A100) branded Minimig with AGA support and an SD card loaded with the best games would be enough to pay homage to the old lineup and keep some criticism at bay.

As it stands, you're doing what Acorn (2006) did - you've bought a brand, made some grand announcements, frankly insulted the surviving efforts (Acorn dismissed RISC OS as irrelevant, you've been the same way about the AmigaOS) and have decided to only bother with the mass market PC sector.


@ruben

I picked the name with the least 'home computer brand-value' I could think of at short notice, to express my feelings about the 'AmigaOne' brand.

Glad you liked it.

@linnar

?

I'm not throwing up on anything. I'm just disappointed that the little 'Amiga Corporation' type guys are having their sandcastle kicked down by the big money guys at Commodore.

Again.
