Producing (or announcing only) small batches of any Amiga hardware it is quite normal. What is worst is constant announcement of many projects and later they never see a day light.
Why to announce something at super early dev. stages? Publicity? If someone have resources to produce something and is convinced there is (or will be!) demand for it, why simply not to make it and deliver to distributors and sell it?
But at the same time it is happening in Amiga environment for like 20 years and I'm still Amiga user
. Maybe I need medical help.
