At OSNews, we have kept you updated about the Amiga hardware announced by ACK controls. Supposedly ready for shipping in May, we are now in the second half of September, and still no hardware. Interestingly, nor ACK Controls, nor Amiga, Inc., will be present at the upcoming Amiga show Pianeta Amiga - leading to the inevitable conclusion that like so many other announcements in the Amiga world, this one was yet another big puff of air. All hope is not lost, though: ACube Systems has announced the SAM440ep, a PowerPC board, of which industrial versions are already available (according to ACube). The consumer version is supposedly ready to ship starting 22nd September 2007, and interestingly, Hyperion will be present at the ACube booth at Pianeta Amiga. Finally, new Amiga hardware? Seeing is believing, many will say.

Really. I mean: I agree that a lot of the 80s/90s systems had advantages that either are still unmatched or could lend advantages to newer systems. But the Amiga has been dead. So has the ST etc. If you still enjoy Sonic 2 on the Genesis, continue to do so. It doesn't mean that we need to revive any hardware/projects.
If you see a truly great benefit of "old hardware" or an "old system", go for it. Make it work for linux, Windows or Mac OS X.
Want an Amiga? There are still some working devices around.
