Lets get this thread back on track.
I think its a real shame that desktop computing has pretty much come to a stand still, and are going to left behind very quickly if there is not some big revolution as to why you need one.
Smart phones are getting more and more advance and ok at the moment it difficult to see how you will be able to do certain type of work on a phone, like making web sites, desktop publishing etc, but then I never believed you could do any good video editing on on them, now you can thanks to iMovie and that's the problem the evolution going on in the mobile phone business and now the tablet market are going so quickly overtaking desktops as they are just standing still. Its not just smart phone either, TVs are getting better with internet built in and with more and more software being in the cloud why will you need to have a separate computer? Consoles are getting more and more like computers offering more and more features, web cam, video editing, etc.
What I'm trying to say is I can see it happening in maybe in less than 6 years even, that computers the way we think of them (big desktops) only being seen in business, not in the home, in the home your have smart phone with a dock to your tv, plonk it in and with a wireless mouse and keyboard your be able to do everything I can do on my desktop so why would you need one? Thats what the new amiga would have to be, a intelligent smart phone that when out of the dock your apps are touch controlled and work in the same way a current smart phone works, drop it in your dock attached to either your monitor or tv, the apps become desktop versions, with a simple blutooth connection to keyboard and mouse.
So the idea of a big desktop computer I think is nearing the end of line, and only geeks and business will have them, lucky I'm a geek.
