Starting new trolling threads over here too, eh? What do you really want to achieve with this personal crusade of yours? :)

Well, it's certainly taking its sweet time in getting anywhere, but on the other hand, they haven't taken anybody's money for preorders or (to my knowledge) announced and then missed release dates. Draw your own conclusions, but I'd say "no."

No, and if you look at their page, they have been fairly consistent with their recent news updates...

Obviously trolling, but just wanted to chime in that I agree - their recent updates (especially the ones "by that guy's daughter", sorry I can't be bothered to dig up a link right now) have been phenomenal!  :)

NO. They maybe taking their time BUT the NATAMI is the most advanced FPGA Amiga we will get so there are bound to be problems BUT better for you to go to there site and check it out.

Its vapour until it arrives. However they have been excellent with tons of pictures of progress on their website, and they haven't taken anyones money. So I feel pretty hopefull :)

Well I guess as it's not a commercial product and just a hobby type deal, I can cut them some slack and not call it vapourware just yet.

They have taken their sweet time though haven't they and it now looks like the FPGA Arcade will steal most of their potential 'market'.

I do believe that they will eventually release something you can buy but it will probably be case of 'too little, too late', much like the X1000 I guess ;)

Just my thoughts...

I havent looked at the FPGA arcade feature list for a while, but I seem to recall Natami aims at providing a lot more amiga specific stuff.
 
A bit of competition doesn't hurt though :) Results in better products for everybody

Yes, Natami is Vaporware.  Their website is a hoax, there aren't even really people working on it.  The Natami project is secretly a front for the Matrix.

The Natami will secretly be an Intel based windows phone running Amiga Forever.

Obey My Dog!

Judging by what little information is on the FPGA Arcade site, I'm guessing it'll be something more like Minimig where it's a reimplementation of an A500 - NatAmi is more geared towards people who use or want to use a 68k Amiga for serious day-to-day computing. Not that there isn't overlap between the markets, but I'd think one hardly kills the prospects for the other.
