To be honest, you haven't missed much.  The only new Amiga to be released in that timeframe is the AmigaOne (http://www.eyetech.co.uk/amigaone), but we are still waiting for a version of AmigaOS (http://os.amiga.com/os4) to run on it.

Greetings from Australia. You haven't missed much. AmigaOS4 is comming, perhaps before the end of the year, but no promises have been made.

I actually did some work for a guy from Serbia. I have a friend who's from Croatia too...

You've lucked out, the Amiga is alive and well, altho not as unified as some would like.  There is the official Amiga and there are workalike projects out there as well.

New models released in the past 5 years in order of release:

Access, Amiga1200 clone that fits into a standard PC's 5.25" drive bay

Pegasos, PPC motherboard made by ex-Phase5 engineers.  Runs the AmigaOS compatible MorphOS operating system.

AmigaONE, PPC motherboard designed by the asian design house Mai and sold by Eyetech.  Is slated to run AmigaOS v. 4 when it is released, and runs Linux at the moment.

Pegasos II, second revision of the Pegasos motherboard.  Released only last week.


Announced models that are under development, in order of original announcement:

Elbox SharkPPC, accelerator card for your old Amiga's.

Eclipsis, a portable version of the Pegasos.

AmigaONE Lite, a mini-ITX version of the AmigaONE.


Did I miss any?

I think it's a script that just reports the "last updated" timestamp on the directory.  Didn't Amiga Inc move servers roughly then?
