These are MY OPINIONS. Reality may be different.
IMHO, the timing of this announcement and some other announcements is the key. These announcements were made public just before Amiga Inc publicly cancelled the agreement with Hyperion and pressed for litigation in the courts.
IMHO, the hardware announcement was one of several announcements made by Amiga Inc. to backup the claims Amiga Inc. would be making in its preliminary court documents.
IMHO, this was simply theatrics on the part of Amiga Inc., waltz onto center stage and then sue Hyperion.
However, there is another party to the hardware announcement, and that is ACK Software Controls.
For me, this is where it gets tricky.
While I do not believe Amiga Inc., I'm not so sure about ACK Software Controls.
Even though many people are skeptical of ACK, I am still willing to give ACK the benefit of the doubt. I do believe that Adam has worked on hardware and that he has run into issues with the licenses. I do not know if the announced products exist.
IMHO, we will not see any new hardware bundled with AmigaOS4 until the court case is settled. If ACK goes ahead, he will be sued by Hyperion (and maybe even Amiga Inc. or Itec/KMOS). If ACube goes ahead, they will be sued by Amiga Inc. (and maybe Itec/KMOS).
