I don't think English is his native language.

Hope the x1000 sees the light of day.

For the record, CNet BBS SW runs pretty good on the PPC/OS 4.1 machines.

Now if I could just get ahold of the author to SELL me a copy, I'd be happy.

@Actung bab. The last few posts you have made in this thread have been hard to understand as your typing is really bad. It's almost unreadable. So maybe you could proof read your posts so they are more readable?

sorry will try l get carried away english is my only language too .

What is going on with OS4 development for the X1000 and the SAM460?
Are the developers actively working on these ports?

'Sorry. I will try. Sometimes i get carried away. How embarrasing because English is my first language too!'

D Minus. Detention. See you later... :rtfm:

[dammy]

Which will ship first a white iPhone 4 or a white X1000?

Throw in A500x as another possibility.

[Framiga]

You're forgetting that they have no trouble in selling hardware with OS that doesn't provide all of the needed drivers and functionality(Sam460). So, it could be on sale by that time... at least they'll have a bigger beta testing team  that way:)

They who?

[takemehomegrandma]

Trevor says everything is going to plan

Easy to say, when they regularly postpone the plan one quarter at a quarterly basis... :lol:

so expect a June 2010 release.

Why would anyone expect that?

:rolleyes:

This is good news, linux on x1000, its a shame its another delay, but really people do you have bring up price and every other fault on each x1000 thread.

Plus why do people think OS4 is not ready for it yet, did no one go to any amiga show this year and watch all them vids of the OS4 running on the system. ok it still maybe alpha stage but it was up and running.

Note to interested people:
If anyone would like further news and clarifications on this newsitem, you can have some HERE.

To be honest with alot people whould never support os4 anyway no matter what
you gave them just human nature , remmber back in the day people complaining
they didnt have wb 3 hd but did nothing for themselves to change that.

I have mac mini G4 l brought it just so l chould run Morphos it was cheap option with 400 nz then first one broke down (broken mb ) cost 300 nz plus not worth it

brought another one that was 300.00 nz so total so far nz 600.00 thats along way
to new sam 460 mb , am afraid nothing like buying new machine.
I found in past even with pcs , which never owned new one, always made them from new parts mind you. who wants other people probs.

That's bad luck, your mini broke. But to my knowledge yours is the first report of some fellow from the Amiga scene about a broken Mac mini G4. All in all they seem to be rather reliable. Mine runs fine at least - and it's already longer in my possession than the warranty would have lasted if it would have been new on purchase.

Then where is it? They just pushed the beta testers back to Q2. If OS4 is ready and the board is ready, why is testing being done just now using Linux? That should have been done months - heck almost a year - ago.

Look, you've got to admit something ain't right. This product was due before Summer 2010, then it became beta testers before end of 2010, then it became beta testers in Q1 2011, now it's Q2 2011. Surely you can spot the trend here?

Put the white one in the sun a while... it'll turn.

@Jorkany
It was explained at www.amigaworld.net that it was a needed step to give the green light to production of a significantly higher amount of boards (compared to the very limited Rev.1 batch).
AmigaOS might be ready for testing, but not to check out if the motherboard is working 100% and not flawed itself (you don't want to use an OS in need of testing for that).
Hence the need for a finalized OS suite to check things out and give the green light.
