Hi Kenwood, welcome to A.Org! I'll have to refrain from making any jokes about food blenders!  :-D

Basically, I agree 100% with what Amiduffer said above - Amiga Inc doesn't appear to have a plan, and the "next generation" of "Amiga" hardware basically consists of a load of overpriced and underspecced rebadged PPC hardware - most of which isn't even available.

Stick with the golden oldies - much more fun! And there's always UAE and AROS to play with too!

Hopefully, something Minimig-related will be forthcoming, so at least we can have "new" A500s to play with!

Amiga hardware does seem to do pretty well... I'm also amazed that the bulk of my Amiga floppy disks, some dating from 1989, are still readable (though these have all been backed up via a Catweasel just in case!) Considering these are just flimsy bits of magnetic-coated plastic and have been carted half way round the world by me, I'm very impressed!
