...surely imminent?

Unless OS4.1+SAM has the blessing of Amiga Inc I cant see this getting beyond being just an announcement.

@Benji

Hopefully option 2.

Rude!

why do you even bother dooing this? , do you even think that it will do one of them or are you just trying to stirr everyone up?

I think (personally and as an long time Amiga Only user) that it will not be able to do either of the above (both are wrong).

That is, atleast for the forseable future anyway, if it can sell 9999 units then i am sure Hyperion will be happy for now and even that is a high number for now although things might pick up if the lawsuit is cleared out of it all and ofcourse if we see more software.


PS: do you think they would have released 4.1 for A1 if they thought they would be in deep doodoo?..or for that matter..go as far as dooing it for the Classic (4.0) or even SAM with 4.1 ?.. seriously, this is not only an announcement.

Some possibilities:

1 - A Inc and Hyperion have come to a mutual agreement that sales may take place at least until the mediation in November, where full terms will be thrashed out.

2 - Amiga Inc are about to file for bankruptcy. Hyperion have got wind of this and have decided to get OS 4.1 out for SAM as they will face no legal challenge.

3 - Hyperion have run out of capital and have had to resort to selling this in spite of legal disputes, simply to keep afloat.

please feel free to add any of your own!

I'm sure the next few days will be very interesting, anyhow!

@Benji

Oh dear (tm), you've found us out..

All of us with A1's have been using OS3.9 under emulation all this time..

funny thing is, if what youre saying then they will have to stop the sales of the A1/UA1c's aswell as they never got the blessing either....according to the AmigaInc side of the lawsuit.

Wonder how they will pull that one off.

I also hope it's #2 and that Hyperion and AI have reached an agreement. If not, then there's number 3.....
Hundreds are sold making many happy, at least untill AI slap on an injunction.

Definitely that one. It has been very quite lately. The smallest event can be a big deal. This is bound to cause big waves.

@Benji

The most likey outcome is somewhere between those two extremes.

Once again, deprived of any meaningful selection on the poll, I vote for... pancakes.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

@Moxee

I'm up to my eye balls with cats here, now which one of us is going to clean up the mess?

Amiwest should be fun this year, start packing!

I doubt Hyperion would announce this unless they were sure of their legal footing.

I started the thread to prompt some theories into what is really going on - those three are actually the conclusions I came to - the first being positive and resulting in sales making AI and Hyperion happy, the third being the path to another lawsuit. Two would also be an interesting possibility...

Though you would think if it was good news (ie agreement!) then everyone would be announcing it one way or another...

Not sure if you have noticed - but they arent too good at keeping out of court...

Come on, its not as if its an unlikely scenario that this is all going to go horribly wrong?! There is a little bit of hope left that we might even get a "Power User" motherboard from ACK next month... Stranger things have happened.

Anyone heard from Jamie Kruger recently?

Thats just spooky - I have an email from Bill McEwen with almost exactly the same phrase... It wasnt about OS3.9 though!

@Benji
The armchair lawyers won't be able to tell you anything anyway so why not just pre-order your new Amiga right now instead.

SAM440ep
AmigaOS 4.1 SAM440ep

Speculation is cute and all but this is real.

I dont have £600 to spend on such a limited machine.

My needs are for machines that can record/stream TV/play media, another as a server/HD video editor and also a laptop/netbook. Until there is an Amiga that can replace one of those three I cant justify spending...

At the risk of betraying a confidence, but weighing that against the users' right to know the truth at this juncture:
That is not going to happen.

The point here is to get -something- out there.
We can debate the future after that takes place.
