No, that's new and unlicensed hardware. Right now, Hyperion can only sell OS4 for licensed Amigas. That includes A1s and 68K Amigas that have PPC accelerator. SAM is SOL till Amiga Inc signs a contract allowing it to be official licensed Amiga hardware.

Um.. Do you have some sort of insider info? How do you know that they do not have a license?

Curiously, this part is missing.

Maybe they want us to wait in suspense until next announcement  :-P

If they did, that would have made massive headlines everywhere with every single OS4 supporter crowing as loud as they could. From everything I've been reading from contract (although it wasn't the final version) being published on the Net to RVBB's statements on licenseing issues, you'll find why I made that statement. Everything I ever remember reading clearly specified that OS4 could *only* run on licensed hardware. That covered Eyetech's back as well as Amiga Inc (since they both have a stake in hardware licensing fees).

Maybe the Samantha team want to be quiet until they actually have it ready for release unlike some other bogus announcements that failed to materialize time after time.
