I'm sure at this late date and the number of mobos they had to preorder it's still atom based.


Custom motherboards - that's a good sign. Not too bad if it is Ion based.

It could be worse, it could be GMA based.  I will continue to hold out hope that as this year progresses, C=USA will look at AMD Fusion as an alternative to Ion2 mobos for the C64x.

Any future AIO keyboard design will likely have a laptop based mobo, which means they can use mobile nVidia GPUs.
They have decided to go Intel only and they'll probably stick to that.

Well if they're sticking with Intel Atom then they're rats clinging to the sinking ship.

The AIO looks nice, if only it weren't an Atom

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

No, the next AIO project is Amiga 500x and it will not have Atom inside. But it will be Intel. It will be also based on a laptop mobo.

Looks like an uglified iMac to me.

iMac is sleek and sexy.  This thing looks like the fat cousin.  :hammer:

Really. The more I think about this the more nightmarish it becomes. I thought the "Walker" was a low point in AMIGA history, but this could be a reason to walk away in shame and never mention the Amiga-brand again.

Come on! An Amiga branded phone and TV? They don´t realize that Amiga really was no brand to the consumers. It was a machine. A machine that did all a PC did, but went beyond the narrow perspective of business and embraced a technology that was both efficient and effective. Not any machine with these traits, but a specific one.

Amiga is not like Apple. Amiga is not like Porsche.
Amiga is like C64. Amiga is like Coke. Amiga is like Levis 501.

You can´t sell Coke toothpaste or cereals. You can´t sell 501 bride dresses.

CUSA has an Emulator and will have something that is at least a bit like Workbench, which sounds like they are at least trying to do, what Amigas do. But calling any cell phone Amiga is just plain ridiculous.

Barry made it clear C=USA is not locked into Intel for the long term.  Yes, Intel/nVidia is the base line for now but beyond that is not written in stone.

I think the keyword is "BRANDED" as in slapping the Amiga logo on anything.
