Why not iOS?  Because Apple doesn't allow emulators.

That's my guess.  Given that Amiga, Inc. doesn't have a lot of technical know-how, but does have a willingness to, erm....how to say this...I don't know they seem to specialize in brashness and losing legal battles.

So - what makes the most sense to me - and this is purely speculation, is that someone wrote an Amiga emulator, Amiga, Inc. got ahold of someones work in that area... Amiga, Inc. is packaging up the original binaries, hiding the emulation - and you know enough hooks to use the touch screen for control.  

To the user, its a faithful reproduction of the original game...all guesswork, but with Amiga, Inc. you don't necessarily just guess they got a license and had the knowledge to do a port :)  If anything, that's an even crazier guess.

Whoops I should have read more, before commenting.

One of the commenters at Blackberry said the game, is in fact, the original version running under modified UAE.

I was stunned their website had been updated.

The picture does look pretty nice and the tagline "kickstart some fun" had me excited until I found out what it was.

Kind of makes me want a playbook though.

Some interesting information linking Bill McEwen to RIM has been found:

Maybe he was pretending to be a real enterprise customer.

As a bit of technology, the PlayBook is pretty sweet, albeit doomed to failure.

Yeah, I knew that when I picked mine up at a discounted rate but I just sold it recently because of the lack of apps.

Trust my luck, I sell it just when Amiga games become available. I loved some of those classics:

This is the company that owns them and they are making steep 99.997 % fall in shares so I don't think it will be easy.

The "business partners" either don't exist or don't have anything to do with computers. One is a Spanish language woman's fashion site....

Another is the team that was going to play in the Amiga dome or whatever they were going to name it. Frankly an embarrassing thing to put on their page.
