Not sure. Hyperion and partners seem to have been active this past Spring on the Amiga OS front. So, it maybe that Amiga, Inc. can't prove their case and can't force Hyperion in to a settlement agreement, thus Amiga, Inc. is unable to prohibit Hyperion from doing what they wish.
It would be nice to know what is going on.

Hi Wayne,

Didn't Jeri sell like over a  million of those C64 Joysticks on QVC? I think we might all be surprised the number of lurkers that hold Amiga fondly in their hearts who would buy a new computer if it was released. A lot of it depends on price point that they can achieve and if they can get a modern web browser on it. Why is porting Firefox so hard?

Interfacing with the Amiga OS GUI, more dependencies. Though that could be done like the Mac OS port of OpenOffice.org and use X. It took that effort 5 years from a stable port to get a native GUI.
Programmers.  I was on the list for the OpenOffice.org port effort lead by the Frieden brothers. There were like three other active programmers with only a few other occasional contributers.

Not sure the Mozilla bounty is doing much better.

And I've been waiting quite awhile for an IDE...
