I am also pretty sure that ARM does not have the same amount of development money that Intel/AMD does.

Arm is probably the best "second" CPU bet for the future, behind x86.

The problem is that so was PPC back when it was chosen.

I really see the Atom-type CPU's eventually taking over the market that many Arm's currently hold in mobile devices, then you're back to x86 again.

Arm's slower than those aren't really useful to us.

ARM is not really usefull for us anyway, since nothing amiga runs on ARM. And probably never will.

How about an accelerator card like Jens' new cheap A1200 one, but minus the 68030, plus a larger FPGA, and utilising the Natami 68050 soft-core?
