What's wrong with the Natami?  It has an Amiga-compatible chipset due out in August running on a 90MHz '060 and they will be designing a new processor for it on the FPGA.  (Although they'll need a customized Kickstart first.)

On this thread Gunnar said that Thomas finished the board design for the Natami60 last week and that they contacted several companies for quotes on the first production run.

That's for the Natami70 with its own integrated processor on the same chip as the multimedia chipset.  The Natami60 is the developer board that will likely cost something similar to the AmigaOne and run on a 90MHz 68060 with an FPGA for the graphics chips.  Working the bugs out of the graphics chips and 68070 processor design is what the Natami60 is for.
