Many people have (justified) doubts about the NatAmi, and so do I, but personally I think that the NatAmi has better odds of actually being released at all than the "X1000", and it will definitely be a more interesting and creative little "geek gadget" compared to the "X1000". It will probably be something people can afford as well. I can easily see myself getting a NatAmi, but there is no way in this world I'll spend 1,500 EUR on an "X1000", no matter which of the two gets released first...


I really don't see myself buying either.  The only thing that could make me interested is when AROS gets ported to EFIKA-MX smartbook (or x86 netbook).  With dual booting with Linux, might make it worth it to me to buy.  At the very worst, I'll just go buy a couple of the Amiga  games that I like that have been ported to Windows and install it on my laptop.  At this point in time, if it's not technologically interesting to me, why would I buy it?  There are no Amiga apps or games that I can not find a superior version of or run in emulation that would make a dedicated Amiga box worth while buying, regardless of the asking price.  

Sad but true and I highly doubt I'm alone either.

Ever heard of Freescale? AMCC? IBM?

ARM is great if you're looking to make a cell phone or other mobile device, but not so great if you're looking to make a desktop.


Both Google and M$' Bing are gearing up for ARM based servers.
