These fly by night, "dreamer projects" are a plague on the Amiga community.
So many people promising the world, and most of them don't have a single clue what it actually involves.

I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been reported on Indiegogo in regards to the Amiga checkmark on the mock up.

I appreciate dreamers as much as the next guy, but these completely unrealistic projects batter the morale of what's left of the community.

For $20k, I'd be surprised if you could even get the casing designed and molded, much less the rest of the project.

Honestly, a decent tablet (not a cheap $79 one still running Gingerbread) running an Amiga emulator in combination with a good controller setup (like the Moga controllers) is pretty hard to beat.

I've got a Moga Pro Power that I use with my Android tablets (mainly my Nexus 7, though) that works a real treat.  Even has an onboard 2200 mAh battery pack that lets you charge the tablet or phone you are using with it.

Tablet (the 7) was $180 and the controller $50 on sale.
