I'd say it's good to see Amiga content available through the CompUSA website and actual stores.

I doubt the CompUSA website will get many hits on Amiga content, unless Amiga Inc advertises.   I'd be placing news items and ads on Pocketgamer.org (www.pocketgamer.org), New Mobile Computing (http://www.newmobilecomputing.com/), amoung other popular websites.

Advertising works...
Interstellar Flames and Snails advertise on PocketGamer.   I saw their ads and got interested enough to try them and soon after I bought a copy of each.

I did buy a copy of a number  the AmigaDE titles from Amiga-Anywhere.com, but they haven't added anything new in a while. :(

I'd like the option to buy selected games from their new pocket paks  to enjoy on both the PocketPC and desktop.  Of course this means a friendly DE player needs to be released for both.

..another helpful tidbit.  Include screenshots of these games and links to their respective developer websites.  Like for instance:

I agree it does look bad when no content has been released in a while.  It's mainly due to forces beyond Amiga Inc's control.   I know several Amiga DE developers and they are making content -- some are doing so part-time.   Being a developer myself, for content targeted at Tao-Group's Intent, it does take time to create content that the user finds enjoyable.

The company I helped start is adding additional developers. I just added another developer this weekend.  

Intent is being developed and I have to say there are new goodies coming  (from Tao-Group) that will assist developers using it.

I can't speak for Amiga, but I do know they are making gaming/content tools.
