Commodore Amiga Mini

Let's have some specs and prices.

Doesn't look like the Dell mini, we installed a bunch of them in offices around the uni and they're more colourful.  Probably some chinese local market clone.

[persia]

I'd like to see the specs and prices before I make any comments.  Hopefully it has bluetooth, wifi, and HDMI.

An inside view of a Commodore...

[persia]

Licensing fees?  Didn't the Baron post a message gloating that he'd slit the throats of Asia Rim whilst they were sleeping?

[persia]

Yep, Googling the news it seems they are running out of free publicity, time to break into that fictitious $30 million advertising budget.

[persia]

Looks like Moochie took his place on the board....

The brief history of that one:

Commodore USA Appoints Korey Kay

The direct quote "Projected budget: $30 million." and from reading the entire article you can see it was meant to be applied over time, not all at once.

Listed on CUSA's Board of Directors

Mr. Kay is not presently a board member. This is explained:

The reference to work done for Commodore in the past is illustrated there.

His current involvement? Dunno.

They are discovering the depth of the keyboard computer market makes a kiddie pool look dangerous and that nobody in their right mind is going to pay huge sums of money to a company that might not be here tomorrow.  Going into the only part of the computer market that isn't growing (desktops) was a move fraught with hazards.  I gave them a generous 50-50 chance of survival in the long term, but watching them so far I'm lowering that to a 40-60 percent chance of survival...

Disappointment doesn't begin to cover it.  There's no vision, no innovation.  They're just a large computer shop...

[persia]

Yeah, C=USA has turned out to be no better than the dozens of Commodore and AMiga companies that have sprang up over the years.

[persia]

Flash in the pan, nothing more.  Probably would be an official branded Amiga again in a while...

[persia]

It's interesting that the C64 uses the same processor as the ultimate flash in a pan, the netbook.

@vexar

USD1295 for an atom based machine cheap?  In which decade are you living?

[persia]

Everyone knew that the only more stupid thing to do than launching into the desktop market would have been to launch into the netbook market.  The Commodore name had some retro street cred of course, which made it natural to launch into a shrinking saturated market, but the name now becomes a liability when considering the phone or tablet market.  

I really thought they'd last two years after they started selling product, so I guess that makes me an optimist.
