Why as soon as something with a shiny new CPU come along does the Question "Can xxxx be ported to this ?" follow along shortly afterwards ?

The answer is most likely to be "No." or "NO!!!" or "No it f'ing can't!"
 


Never say never..

"Can xxxx be ported?" is a different question to "Will xxxx be ported?"

Pretty much anything is possible given enough time and money, so yes OS4 could be ported to the cell , but will it happen?
 Seeing as Amiga Inc have already turned down 2 other hardware licenses, I'd say no,not unless there was a sh*tload of money in it for them.

 AHT tried to get it for their STB thingy, dunno the exact details of why they couldn't get a license.
 And Acill was just ignored in his effort to get a license for OS4 on the PegII.

But then again, Hyperion have mentioned a mystery device that does run OS4. Assuming it's not another AmigaOne variant, then it sounds like someone has succeeded in doing business with Amiga Inc.
