IContain announces Amiga branded gadgets
 

Just when you thought things couldn't possibly get weirder...

A company called IContain announces new Amiga stuff, licensed by AmigaInc, just when CommodoreUSA reportedly acquired "exclusive worldwide licensing rights".

:crazy :bash :nuts :scream :crying
Will it ever stop?

When the hell will everyone just let it die a death?! I would say gracefully but that went out the window f'ing years ago thanks to Bill McFuckoffwillyousoon.

So, McEwen is content to let what was Amiga be further diluted even more.

Bunch of money grabbing fucks!

Awesome!

I've wanted this kind of incredible stuff for years!

I am really happy!

When will Amiga Inc just do the decent thing and die?

When there's no more money to be had.

finaly a tablet PCs with an amiga logo wow just what I always wanted :great

I'd be really surprised if these companies got more sales from a dead brand that has nothing to do with their products than if they actually made their own.

Has anything with Amiga on it done well since Commodore went under?

I could understand (though not agree) if the product was aimed at trying to recapture Amiga spirit, or at least Amiga enthusiast's cash. Most of their products don't even bother to do that, and just slap Amiga on anything they can get their hands on. I certainly wouldn't buy it

A nice article about the matter, that sums it pretty well:

It indeed does. I think we're at the point that Siggy999 mentioned by now. At least I fail to see who those products are aimed at.

Hmmm this just sounds like a polished turd. Everytime I see crap like this I feel this sort of empty depressing feeling in my gut. Whoopy do you can take a tv and stick "Amiga" on it lol... anybody can do that at home with a printer and some decent paper.

I noticed a few things aswell. The brand "IContain". Anyone ever heard of em before? Sounds like a fake company McCrapewen has made up and is puffing his chest out by saying "The amiga name is mine! I own it, I contain it etc etc"
The words "Protected by IContain"... sounds like a dodgy security firm :nuts

Its this kinda of crap that just buries the amiga name even further into the mud and this is all so McRibb can go out on his yacht sipping pimms or whatever these people drink. Anyone get the gist im not happy? lol

Aye, and I think you're not the only one ;)

Urgh...

Can't wait for these guys to release some Amiga branded condoms... ideal for raising "boing ball" brand awareness.

For completeness' sake, Barry Altman's comment:

It also sheds some light on the deal he has with Bill.

I guess these guys are just testing if something will grab the boing-bait.

Another sentence that sums up pretty much everything that is wrong with this 'vibrant rebirth' of the 'Amiga' :sad

well I already had a wow not to buy any shite that begins with the letter "i" many moons ago, very nice choice of company name there ! (one more reason for me to avoid)

Amiga Inc DIE DIE DIE DIE!

ComaBarryUSA DIE DIE DIE!

Fleece and Bill in action again I think.

This is embarrassing. What's next? Amiga branded toilet paper?

Ps I fully expect Barrysoft to launch an app store full of Amiga games then sue the hell out of WHDLOAD. Hope I'm wrong.
