Just some thoughts about the amiga and it's future.
Just for a start: I'm an old amiga fan that actually want to buy a new one if it ever comes for sale and can survive in the marked nowadays.
Complaining about what Hyperion, Amiga and the other owners shall and shall not do, doesn't help that much. They'll anyhow do as they see fit.

My thought about the amiga and it's future is quite simple: It needs a market. You can't pay for the production, staff and marketing without somewhere to sell it and somebody to buy it. In the western world the Amiga is too weak and the position both software and hardware belongs to the giants.
Africa, South America and Asia is actually quite interesting - Where you actually can get a sale on the amiga based on it's strength... A life cyclus that can span over dekades without that the software demands an upgrade on the hardware every third year. What's just as important is to have software that are just as good as other systems have without bleeding the vallet (software like autocad, spread sheets, image manipulators etc)
Actually I think a cheap complete Amiga with a keyboard, mouse and availability to connect it to a tv and internet(so an expensive monitor is not needed) sold around 2-300 dollars would be quite the hit on those markets
