Realistically what is the real value of the Amiga IP now? I believe any value or potential it had has been squandered by years of successive failures and this has been royally rounded off by the manifest incompetence of Amiga Inc.
The Amiga name, as a brand, has little value any more - except to us few Amigans who remember it, most people have gone to PCs and just fondly remember the Amiga as an 'old' machine, they wouldn't dream of even looking at amiga.org for example - it would take a monumental publicity exercise to breath any new life in the Amiga name and generate wider interest.
That's just the name, the Amiga OS and hardware is not worth much now either I wouldn't imagine.
The reason I say this is because I can't see Apple would ever be interested in the Amiga, unless, as has been previously stated they just got the IP and then stored it away in some vault, to put an end to any Amiga market, as small as it is to them.
But I am not being negative, just a realist. I think the future of the Amiga is best served by companies like Hyperion, who acknowledge and understand the limitations of the platform and embrace it for what it is and develop accordingly. That way there is much life in the Amiga yet.
