I came across this site and instantly it reminded me of the old A500/A1200. I wonder if this is what they have in mind for the new hardware on the introductory model.

Nope I doubt that is what they will ever release again.

Highly doubt it, that would take money for R&D and more to have custom designed cases made.  Honestly i fear the closest to a new Amiga we'll get is a PC with UAE running on it.  (I pray im wrong tho)

Nope. That, my friend, is real. If it was "in development" or "at the fabricator", it *MIGHT* be an Amiga. :lol:

I do find it funny how there is a whole community that stick together hoping something new comes out but have convinced themselves it won't. Kind of a catch 22 hehehe.

I wonder what would happen if coffee got spilled into one of these? At least with a normal PC, replacing the keyboard is cheap!

 More like "In touch with reality" or "managing expectations" new hardware has been promised for years but even if they produced some who would make enough software to make it attractive no non-Amiga lovers i.e 99.9% of the population of this planet.

 Keep the faith!

@dbrads,

0.1%, or 0.001 of the population of this planet!  Do you really think there are still 672,229 Amiga users out there?  

I think you missed it by a few zeros to the right of that decimal point.  Probably more like 0.0001%, or 0.000001 of the population of this planet, or 6,722 Amiga users and I think I am being generous.

Sadly with the current fighting between Amiga related companies, the number of Amiga users or Amiga fans even, is shrinking every day.

Someone stop the madness!
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Kinda rather run AROS on this.  Cheapest model for the your pick is $545.  Eee-PC two models will be about $199 and $299.
