    I think there are two major stumbling blocks in the way of a portable
    Amiga: 1) the price of color LCD displays are still horrible, and 2)
    the custom chip set is much to power hungry to put in anything that
    uses battries. There is one other factor that probably slows it down
    and that is precieved market, just how many could they sell? The
    European market may support them but at present the U.S. market
    would not.


    Just my two cents worth,
