Good News Is Here (OS 4.1&SAM440 amigakit.com)

Just to warn you all, that if you're humming and harring about whether to get one or not, consider this...

Court Case.
If the SAM hasn't got Amiga inc's blessing (I doubt this), and Hyperion lose the court case, the plug may be pulled on the SAM and we may have to wait a loooong time while we wait for Amiga inc to introduce new hardware (if they ever do, after all, OS5 is out there already remember?).

Of course, if Hyperion win or it has Amiga inc's blessing, we have nothing to worry about. But personally, I wouldn't gamble on it.

I don't have any insider info on this, if I did, I probably wouldn't be able to post my thoughts on this.

EDIT - What i'm trying to say is Don't wait, or you may miss out.

This means either AI and Hyperion are doing well in the negotiations or doing very poorly.  I don't see anything of this on Amiga.com site which could mean two things:  1. They suck at maintaining amiga.com site but agreed for Hyperion to go ahead with it. 2. Hyperion is doing a "in your face" which is a positively guarantee of making friends and creating new found influence with AI, not.

The OS4 dev team does not have the resources to make an x86 port at this point in time. Such a port would be a huge task.

Nor do they have the license to do so.

Interesting comment about OS4 development. I'm still hazy on how Amiga Inc and Eyetech are involved in this project.

Maybe it is somehow related to the aftermath regarding the dismissal of the case Amiga/Hyperion case.

That case was not Amiga Inc vs Hyperion, that was Itec vs Hyperion.  It was dismissed based on location of law suit (Judge said it needed to be in WA court and not NY state court)and not based on evidence of IP ownership.
