A few words :

1) Is the DE an Amiga, or even Amiga-related ? Only by name.

Sure it is nice tech, but it is not even as close tio being
"Amiga" as RiscOS/PC,BeOS/BOX or even QNX. Suggesting it would
be more "Amiga" than MOS or AROS is just insane.

2) Is the DE worth to be considered for developers ?

Not in it's current state. I'm quite sure that developing for
CE/.net is easier, maybe even cheaper if you put licence-fees/SDA
into the calc.

That's why most of the "big" Amiga-SW-companies never did anything
for the DE or have bailed out pretty soon (take epic as an example).

3) Do I believe in the super-secret updates, and plenty of SW "real soon" ?

Not after having heard the exact same stuff by the exact same
people over the last year (and it was pretty much the same
when I "left" in mid 2000).

3) Do I think that this the light at the end of the tunnel for AI ?

Not really, cos to many companies want to have a share of those
game-packs, and it isn't really ground-breaking for PDA-gaming.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
