"New" amiga hardware

It really really depends on what you mean by "Amiga".

1. If Amiga is a computer running AmigaOS or something very similar then yes, AmigaOnes are Amiga, as well as PPC Macs running MorphOS or AROS running on PC.

2. If Amiga is a computer with a series of special chips, then nothing after Commodore/Escom and some of the clones can be called an Amiga. It's doubtful even if the Draco could be called one in that case.

3. If Amiga is a computer running AmigaOS or an OS based on it's source code then AmigaOne is an Amiga and not MorphOS nor AROS.

4. If Amiga is a culture rather than a specific technical solution, then everything trying to be Amiga-like is Amiga.

Strictly speaking, I think (2) is right, but I live by the rule that (4) is right because it's much more fun that way

No, it doesn't. Amiga is a line of computers produced by Commodore, and later Escom. How anyone can think anything else is completely beyond me, and I find it absolutely ridiculous. A computer IS NOT an Amiga just because it runs AmigaOS. The thought that the OS defines what a computer is, is astoundingly obtuse, and batty as hell.

So you are a fan of interpretation (2) I see

Like I said, I rather go for the version that included everything Amiga-like since it's much more fun to be inclusive. But yes, strictly speaking (2) is correct IMO.
