Well......it's better they wait until OS4 is completely ready. After all, when they stand there showing the world some new Amiga stuff, they'll better be there with a product they can trust, and which is ready for shipping.
Maybe speculation, but IMHO they will ship it ASAP when they have something to ship, regardless if it's stable or not. AmigaONE has been released despite the promise it won't be released until OS4 is ready. They want to grab hold of the land, before all is lost. Simple business.
Speculation regarding it's not released because they want it to be rock solid is pretty unbelieveable to me. Anyway, it will go to earlybird ppl and ppl who trust it without actually seeing it. Like the beta1 at the Genesi side.
Absolutely my opinion, of course
[EDIT]
Yet, despite all said above - the AmigaONE in existance is the only difference compared to 2001 august.
So things are a bit brighter here. Yet, I've got fed up with the current management, and two days before I received my Pegasos. So I spent my yesterday playing around with MorphOS, and it's beautiful. Faster and even more nicer than I thought judging from the shots and reviews, yet it still has small glitches and a few bugs. Hope OS4 will be at least that fine, and then I'll buy that too, for my blizzppc or Pegasos.
