All I can see is the name. That alone I'm sorry to say is not nearly enough, for me, or anyone else who has half a brain.
Pretty much. I think (although I won't presume to know) that the thinking here is that if we could just get some Amiga-based or Amiga-inspired OS running on smart phones then that could totally pave the way for an Amiga rennaisance, being as it's the current "emerging computer market."
Unfortunately, as you point out, it really doesn't offer anything smart phones need that the other OSes don't provide as well or better, and (unless I'm greatly mistaken) the only Amiga-based OS that would run on most modern phone hardware is AROS, so MorphOS or AOS4 devotees would be SOL anyway unless someone were to come through with a PPC-based phone platform (is the PPC even remotely as efficient for mobile computing as ARM? I kinda doubt it.)
It's basically the same mistake the Web.It made, thinking that "niche retrocomputing compatibility" is the kind of killer app that could help a product gain a significant share of a completely unrelated (and, in the "web TV" market's case, completely
retarded) market. The smart phone market doesn't work that way, even if iOS and Android
didn't already have UAE. It's like I keep saying: the way to build a new Amiga platform is to build a new Amiga platform, not to hitch Amiga compatibility to an existing platform's wagon.
