jeez, are we in doomsday mood again or what?

What's the matter with this x86 crap again? If you people want next generation Amigas you have to wait and see what Hyperion has in mind and support it's efforts. If you don't, stay with emulation and classic.

x86 is cheaper and faster and gives you more bang for the buck. So what?
Go buy dog food, it's cheaper and has more vitamins and nutrients than any other human-meant-stuff you'll find in a supermarket!

I think you're reading too much user opinion here and applying that to how the aforementioned companies look at things.

I don't see any products pitched at less hardcore users. The Sam 460 is a more accessible product than X1000 but I seriously wonder about their focus when it still doesn't have the drivers it needs.

You're even more dead with no customers. And that would be the result if they tried to create something even less in the Amiga tradition than what they're currently working towards.

I'm not suggesting breaking with the Amiga tradition. Even discarding the x86/ARM arguments, building the most expensive desktop you can while Sam 460 customers haven't sound drivers? Either they don't care enough about entry-level hardware like the Sam or they don't have the resources to port a sound driver. The second would be seriously worrying, but I suspect it's the first. That's not so much worrying as disappointing.
