Holy Cow! My X1000 arrived today in USA !!!

Next phase could mean many things. Why being so vague? Something like new batch of X1000 would have been clearer.

Yeah, why are people building stories on a bit of hearsay?  Especially a bit of hearsay that tells the hearer absolutely nothing....

Congratulations.

Grats!  Hope you enjoy it.

My jaws dropped at how fast the AmigaOS 4.1 booted. It toke less than 2 seconds from the AmigaOS screen logo to desktop....BANG, FINISHED.

I would sell all my computers in home and get an AmigaOS 4.1 (including windows XP) in a heart beat if AmigaOS 4.1 had all the software libraries that Windows had, from games to software development. I would not even think twice about it.

I would diffidently make it my forever permanent OS if AmigaOS 4.1 had security level equivalent to linux and better and prevent people from modifying startup-sequence and accessing the system directory if you are not an admin.

I would carve it stone if those two where there in AmigaOS 4.1 that I would use only AmigaOS 4.1 in companies (and if I had one) and in my company.

I suppose I would just have to close my eyes and dream, one day, oh, one day.

Win 7 still boots quicker, or as quick - as OS4.

With the exact same SSD in my PC vs. my SAM 440ep, Win 7 vs. OS4, neck in neck.

Startup or reboot times mean very little on desktop machines, I find.  I reboot my main PC, or my SAM for that matter - once a month, tops.

Your PC is undoubtedly orders of magnitude faster than a SAM.
That's hardly a fair comparison.

Depending on how long it is going to take Hyperion to finish the drivers for the onboard sound and Ethernet, they might hesitate on doing the second (public sale) production run of X1000's.  If the drivers are close to being done, it would make more sense to wait until they are finished, instead of having to purchase a matching bunch of sound cards and Ethernet cards.  I don't know how hard it is to source those two cards, or what their price is.  Obviously it is preferable to have the onboard devices supported, instead of needing to use the older supported cards.

I have no knowledge if this is what is going on, but it makes sense to me.  We should have some information from A-Eon & AmigaKit after they are done assembling, testing and shipping all of the "First Contact" X1000 systems to the buyers.

I just want to see how fast the next production run of X1000's sell out?  "First Contact" X1000's sold out in less than 36 hours, so we know there is still more demand for X1000's from people that did not order in that short time frame.

Will the 2nd public production run sell out in 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months?

Next time x1000 with drivers, at least 1000eur more.

If you don't like the price of the X1000, why haven't you and other users done more to convince Hyperion that they need to port OS4 to the cheaper, but still very fast and reliable G4 and G5 Mac computers?  Maybe a petition could show Hyperion that such a port is what is needed if 500 to 1,000 or more users signed it stating that they would purchase a port of OS4 to one or more of the G4/G5 Mac models.  Of course that will never happen and Hyperion will probably never port OS4 to any PPC Mac computers.

And the OS4.x users will be forced to continue to pay high prices, or settle for the low performance of the OS4.x Netbook that is next on Hyperion's list of supported hardware.

If enough users ask for things to change, maybe Hyperion will start to listen.  Or not?

Or maybe you have no interest in the future of OS4.x and just like to post smart remarks on forums instead.
