I wouldn't really call that a "pre-announcement" ... Funny that it comes hot on the heels of MorphOS2 and adds similar functionality. Brings back memories of Microsoft's announcement of the imminent release (which of course slipped) of MS-DOS version-something in order to cut sales of competitor DR-DOS.

That's *exactly my point* with "pre-announcement"! :-)

I'm *not* doubting they will release the 4.1, but in the announcement they doesn't even specify a release date, and it feels like an announcement of an announcement of a release that they made only to say "OS4 will also have MorphOS features, and quite soon as well", and as you say the timing is kind of interesting. All in all the situation is not like the "4.1 is OUT" thread I saw over at AW.net. ;-)

I think you really need to grow up.

Maybe he does, but he also has a point...

The "pre-announcement" addition to the title was a childish fanboy moment, that had no other purpose than to cause friction. Such behaviour deserves to be left in the past.  His justification that there is no firm release date other than "mid-Q3/2008" is laughable when MorphOS 2.0 recently hit it's "Q2/2008"

Hello Pot, meet Kettle.

Yeah, true, but I don't get the pre-announcement thing... I prefer the Apple approach who don't announce anything without a firm release date.. Even if by release they mean just 18 phones...

Anyway MOS 2.0 was right on schedule... 21st Century on the dot!
