Several announcements had the sub-heading that the low-level board would be released by summer 2007
Here's my theory.....
A. Inc has said once or twice before that the new boards couldn't be completed without access to the sources to OS4. I think those statements were more to influence the community to pressure Hyperion to release the code than to actually finish a product.
After all these years of nothingness from A. Inc, I suspect they're not much more that an IP bank collecting fees on old patents. How does that work anyway? Patents are supposed to expire after 20-21 years from their filing. Copyrights on the other hand are much longer.
