Our favourite platform has achieved the number 9 spot for the top ten vapourware products of 2002. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,57023,00.html for details.
From the article:
"9. The new Amiga: Earlier this year, fans of the Amiga were in a tizzy about the prospect of a revival of the comatose platform: Both new machines and a new operating system were promised. Suffice it to say, neither are readily available.
"Some retailers and the Amiga website are taking orders for systems, but 'selling' and 'shipping' are two very different things," wrote reader Russ Van Winkle.
Swift Griggs added: "I've heard promises now for three years. Amiga Inc. has delivered nothing but lies and hot air now for three years, just like everyone who has come before them in the post-Commodore Amigan holocaust."

Top VapourWare Products of 2002 : Comment 37 of 72 | ANN.lu |
Posted by alan buxey on 03-Jan-2003 18:36 GMT | i really didnt believe it until i read some of the comments on this
list...but now i realise its true.
theres a lot of people out there that think the G3 AmigaONE isnt
ready. it is, and has been shipping since beginning of december.
i have friends running their hardware for weeks now.
Pegasos WAS available sooner, true. buts its no longer the only
one shipping.
the WIRED article is just plain wrong (though amusing)
the new Amiga IS out, and available for purchase NOW.
AmigaOS 4.x, however, isnt.
its only the G4 AmigaONE tha isnt ready yet - as was CLEARLY
mentioned in Alan Redhouses latest update
please, open eyes and read
