I just don't understand the context of trashing Amiga Inc for trying to head in what -- at least -- I think is the right direction while pedantically defending "teh true Amiga".

Slapping a name-sticker to someelses product (with no Amiga-relevance) and than hoping to scam some investors into it is not what I'd call "heading in the right direction". O.k. that was 2000-2001 but neither Bill nor Barry got any smarter or honest than what they were back than.

Bout these tablets, well either they are iContain-Amiga, which mean they will only be rent-at-inflated-prices lowend stuff that just needed some (any) brand-sticker. Yes that would include McBill as it seems.

From what I understood NotC=USA got their Amiga-licence bypassing McBill (good move) and while it seems that they are prepared to invest a bit more effort there seem to do it in all the wrong way (the horrid keyboard-cases are the least thing I would like to return from the C64-A500 era).

Doing it that way they are also only targeting the retro-growd (just as slightly different part than Natami,Minimig or Jens' stuff).

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
