This is about the 10th story I've seen in two weeks about Amiga games coming to the iPhone.  Anyone who doesn't think Amiga Inc missed the boat completely with their "universal phone apps" should probably read a little closer.

Here's hoping the developer makes millions.

I dont see Amiga Inc. missing much, the games ported arent theirs.
That's the point.  AI's business model is to act as a third-party reseller for games for their "universal cellphone" interpreter package for all cellphones.   Meanwhile, the old Amiga developers who probably would have developed for Amiga Anywhere went to the iPhone (with it's nearly 3 million installed user base) instead, meaning dead end for AI.

Wish someone would have told them that 10 years ago.  Oh wait.  I did.
