Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

Where does this leave ACube....out in the cold?  What about all the recent SAM buyers, how are they going to feel when/if Hyperion drop support (as per Classic 4.0 users).

Oh well, at least it keeps things interesting

I just hope they can get this new HW out cheap AND have it supported by OS4 (eg drivers and a non-beta release) quickly.

Any chance of a back-plate?

It wont match the price of a SAM... as Hyperion said it, SAM = entry level machine, in otherwords its the lower specced, cheaper way to get an OS4.1 machine.

It looks to me like the SAM will be replaced with a lower-cost version of this new HW....

I don't think the question is now even 'when will it come out?', the question is 'what happens next for OS4 after it is released?'

A hardware launch that shifts only double digit figures cannot be considered a success by the people involved and I can't see how they're ever going to sell more than 100 units.
