Re: So... What's the current state of the Amiga?

assuming Amiga means the Amiga Operative System:

Then it is being held hostage by On one side Hyperion who has developed the newest version (far beyond the specs of their contract with Amiga Inc.) and Amiga Inc who wants full control and hyperion to fork it over.

in order to port it to new hardware, Someone will need a hardware license from Amiga Inc which they won't give (no new h/w-license from A.Inc since the Amigaone series "developed" by Eyetech) since that gives Hyperion a chance to earn money off of a OS they want full control over...

Now as to whom is right... Well, that is debatable (and the guys over at aw.net is sure doing their best to do so. There are many 50-page threads about this, and each new court document creates another one) But this in the end (hopefully) be decided by the court that has been called in.
