Please trust me when I say that I really hate being the big, stupid naysayer in the room, but just as I spelled out on Whyzzat.com, "I don't get it".

Without a solid, modern OS, hardware is irrelevant.  It doesn't matter how fast it is, how much memory, or anything else...  That is, unless the new hardware in question is/was never intended to be a serious device, but more of a tinker box for hobbyists with money to spend...

Really, I would welcome something different, but unless you've got a new, user-friendly and powerful OS (which AmigaOS used to be, about 33 years ago), what could you possibly use it for that a $30 Kano kit can't already do?

Well, hooray for popular press coverage, but for f**k's sake, that Gizmodo article is trash. They should be ashamed to call themselves [tech] journalists.

Pretty much par for the course, really.
