    I think the idea of those longing for a PPC accelerator for NatAmi is to actually be able to *run* MorphOS or OS4 on it, not to compete with them. At least I have no idea what OS they'd be willing to run on it that could be considered a competitor to MorphOS and OS4.

    Programs that will really use these new features of the NatAmi won't run on old m68k Amigas so they couldn't possibly create "a new wave of applications and games for 68k machines and the Natami" (see your 1st post) but just for the NatAmi.
