In my opinion things haven't changed with the Amiga Mini, because as far as we know not one has been actually sold. They're only claiming to sell such things. But without buyers who cares?
This operation seems to be either an attempt to revive and sell an old brand name to foreign manufacturers at a profit, or an investment scheme trying to pull in investment money, and make a generous salary or two out of the operation giving "naive hopes" that it will take off one day.
In my opinion, what has been painfully obvious is that Barry hasn't had a real budget for _ANY_ development, be that hardware or software. AROS still isn't ready as a consumer OS on any of its hardware platforms, and the AGA compatible and beyond fpga clone platforms aren't ready yet either if cusa would just license ROMS and OS3.9 from Amiga Inc.. New PPC hardware is too expensive or underpowered and also requires the non-existant development funds to support it, so what does that leave for cusa to do, but to try and sell some commodity hardware with minimal cost software to pay the minimally accepted license fees with and keep the trademarks tied up on their behalf...
