Yes but Amiga Anywhere 2 is not AmigaOS 5. It's simply another means of deploying Amiga based applications on other platforms. Amiga, Inc. has not stopped it's plans for AmigaOS 4 and potentially beyond.
"What matters is that contrary to a great deal of the nonsense that I am reading lately, Amiga at no time has ever abandoned our goals, the Amiga community and our dream. I recently read a post about how OS 4 should power a phone, and somehow this is supposed to be an epiphany that the Amiga OS could power more than a desktop."
"New hardware is indeed being developed, and we have selected the first 3rd party manufacturer that will build in high quantities, and yes, this new hardware is being delayed because OS 4.0 is needed to complete the package and to resolve certain technical issues."
It sounds to me that once the legal wrangling is over, we will actually see new hardware to run it on. We don't know the details of the legal proceedings. Maybe Hyperion wants to partner with another hardware developer and Amiga, inc. is saying - No - we will be providing the hardware through ACK controls.
I know it's been a long road but a lot of this negative idle speculation doesn't sound like the old Amiga community to me at all. If anything we, were always too positive and too hopeful.
Let's see what happens after the legal stuff is done. If we don't see anything shortly thereafter then I'll be more negative too.
