  There are about 5 portable Amigas, two from the US and three from Germany.
However, only one of them was deemed acceptable for marketing by Commodore
itself, and they couldn't decide on a price from the private company, or
whatever happened, so Commodore never announced it. Most other portables
are in IBM cases, and are done privately. In fact, a few months ago Amiga
World announced it on the last page blurbs.
