Well the mainproblem for them is that they failed to
deliver an own board. So they had to select a third
party board. But because of this they can not include
OS4 in the price of the hardware. That makes them
very expensive and reduces their market chances
dramatically. They are 80EUR more expensive than a
company that delivers the same board without "the
name" and dongle (even 160EUR more expensive if
you also count OS4) and around 110/190EUR more
expensive than the Pegasos incl. at least two
operating systems. It's very unlikely that for
example a Linux user will chose an AmigaOne over
an other PPC mainboard. And that's the dilemma
they're in. Their only advantage is that they have not
really a high risk (at least Eyetech) as they just buy
the boards and earn a few US$ when reselling them
(although warranty could cause a problem). The risk
of Hyperion is a bit higher, however only 4(?) of the
OS4 members are actually employeed by Hyperion
so they don't have to pay high wages for a big team.
If something doesn't work out for them they just put
the project on hold/low priority and do contract work
(BIOS, Linux, Mac ports etc).
