Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything?

Well, the site claims the Phoenix is available now, and this video suggests that it's not a hoax:

I suspect this guy "AussieAmigan" is BigBentheAussie on AmigaWorld.net who is the CTO for Commodore USA.

Only time will tell what it all means.

Curiouser and curiouser:

I must say, I'm especially amused by the phrase: "the Dream is over." If they don't support AROS in some way (or provide their own x86 version of AmigaOS) it definitely is. (Yes, I know, Hyperion contract, blah, blah, blah...)

On the flip side, this is incentive for AROS fans to fund drivers to make the machine work. If they ever deliver, of course.

I also have to admire their ambition (while I simultaneously question their ability). Where will this all end up? I can only speculate.

OK, now this has moved from Curious to Comical:
http://www.commodoreusa.net/Corporate.html

Scroll to the bottom, and note the "employee" named "Moochie."

A name that bares a striking resemblance to a certain "Mitchy."

It would appear they're either nuts, or they truly want to capture Amiga fans. Given their recent "attitude" towards AROS, I can't help but wonder if it's the first.

My best guess is that we're looking at several products: A NeoAmiga 1000, 2000 and 3000 and a NeoAmiga 1200.

But that's only my guess.

[EDanaII]

You're correct about the "NeoAmiga 1200," Mongo, but the "NeoAmiga 1000" and others appear to be real:

I gotta admit, they dream big. (When has anyone in Miggy-Land not?) I'm just curious if they'll ever actually produce.

I have to say, those cases are actually quite cool.

Not sure about his reimagined 1200 with the sliding keyboard (as much as there is a small bit of me that admires the retro form factor, my utilitarian side has long since tamed it), but the "big box" (aumro TF5 case) amiga... I think has a certain style that I do find appealing.

I have to say, if Barry were to stop trying to sell to the retro crowd and concentrate on selling very stylish PCs like one housed in the aumro TF5, he could probably do quite well for himself.

Yea, I kinda like those cases too. If I'd known about them when I was building my AROS system, I might have chosen that slimmer model to house the motherboard. Of course, I don't think it's wide enough to fit a keyboard underneath, but I still like it's looks.
