One of the major differences between the AmigaOS-scene and MorphOS-scene is that the AmigaOS-scene seems to be good at keeping a lid on things.. There are not many leaks. MorphOS development leaks alot..

http://www.sintonen.fi/video/misc/PowerBook-G4-MorphOS-3-sneak-preview.mp4

This gives, imho MorphOS some advantage when people who has not used amiga for many years and comes back and need to choose between the two NG-oses..

Hey... if that's all for real than great... The first modern Amiga Laptop.

I'm still keeping tabs on the LimePC Z9 notebooks, but nothing to report. Only good news is that the company is still working with FreeScale and units are available in mass quantities. I hope this continues to be the case!

Website / s - are still being developed...

I am with OP here,

We are ready to initiate the revolution (for the x'time) but nobody is talking.

How should we regroup?

Do we have to regroup at all?

Maybe what we got is the best we shall recieve?

About regrouping....

Maybe Hyperions M.A.P. is to unite AROS, Morphos and OS4 in some way ?

-Slam the best of them together in one OS
-Share code between them to be used in all of them
-Try to engineer somekind of compatibilty layer, so every app runs on all of them

I don't know.....

Hyperion HAVE already "leaked something". They let-slip about SMP & Java being planned *after* OS4.1 (i.e. OS4.2 or later). Not to mention that we already have Firefox, sorry, Timberwolf to look forward to!

It must be difficult being around Amigans who are starving on hope when you have access to the HQ of AmigaOS development?

If you manage to send a message to Hyperion management who that may be or what they may be, could you inform them Amiga has a huge community, that community is also customers, if they want respect from us, better listen to our demands..

we want info about the future.. .

...and we want that NOW!

@all

Just wait for the end of the year to let Hyperion announce the MAP. (I want some news as well but there's a lot of life to live outside of hobby computing.)

You know what.

I am sick of pasting a smile on my face to send a signal that I am fine with what is achived in the Amiga world as of today just so that nobody gets stressed.

To be honest of you, I am puking with disgust.

I wonder one thing, why do I have to wait three more months just to get a roadmap of the future plans of Amiga/AmigaOS?

Why do the community ITSELF have to make a roadmap to please themselves?

(Guess what, that roadmap spread through the net like a wildfire, because people are interested in Amiga, shocking?)

We the community, the core of hardcore Amiga passionate fanbase wants this information now, this is no game, no hobby computer and no niche system reserved for 20 minutes quality time on Sunday and specificaly not a system aimed for sub 1GHz hardware better suited to 1999.

This is the real deal, and it can go anywere we want to, yes it can even take over Windows with the right kind of leadership and the right kind of communtity. If that claim makes you laugh or you do not believe, then maybe you are the wrong kind of leader in this market place, the wrong kind of owners of AmigaOS.

Show yourself, where you stand, what you want and where you are going, and do it now. The community wants that.

Due to the way that announcements of announcements have been received, it is now Hyperions policy to not announce anything until there is a product working, which can be shown and proved to be working. This has been stated more than a few times in the past on this very site.

It doesn't, the community does that off it's own back, and will always be frought with doubt and mistakes.

Details of what the next step is will no doubt be released when that step has been reached, in as much as there is something working. To give a estimate of a timeline when stuff is completed is always taken as a literal, and the forums are full of shouts of "Vapourware" and "heretics" when that time has passed. But you know all this already...

As far as I'm aware, Hyperion are well aware of the "community" and what they want. Some may get it, some may not, that's business.

I still dont understand why you dont let the community be part of the company you develop for on its steps. Are we your enemies?

Have we hurt Hyperion?

Why would we hurt them? Beacuse we care and are passionate about Amiga, that is. The customer is always right, even when you are not on the job. Learn to like it and learn to live with the community, not shut us out. What is better to have, no input or lots of input, good AND bad. Learn to handle negative input and turn it into something good instead, that is the way of successful business.

If Hyperion knows Amiga they should know how the community have suffered long before Descent got ported to 68k. Why does the company you work for keep us suffering? Do you enjoy that?

You won, roll out the grand plans and let us f"k the computer scene as people knows it today, you know it as much as myself that it is possible, if not, you are not a true Amigan and you should definitely not develop AmigaOS.

Some may get what I wrote above, and some dont, that is just a way of telling who is a true Amigan and who is not.

@cv643d
You do get news once in a while.
From Pianeta Amiga and AmiWest we got a lot of news about AmigaOS4.1.1.
My only concern is that we have to hear it from various videos and cannot read more about it at Hyperions website.

I think it's cool to give us news and demonstrations of new features at the shows and hope it is kept that way. Unfortunately we can't all be at the shows so we need to get the details/pics/videos on Hyperions site at the same time.

Well in a perfect world news on coming features would be posted on an AmigaOS website and not on Hyperions company website.

This is really funny - actually *I* don't want to know anything. No, don't give me a roadmap, go away with announcements. I don't want to read, hear, see them.

It was really nice to be surprised by the fact that - suddenly - there was OS4.1. And - wow - real, buyable, existing, new hardware AT THE SAME TIME. I was so surprised, that I buyed it immidiately ...

I want to be surprised again. In the meantime I use my SAM and my 68k-Amigas and have fun. I really hope there will be no leakage.

Yeh.. I like surprises also. I hope to wake up one day with a very good nice X-Mas surprise.
This year or next year will do!

I would say that community is enemy of Hyperion... or at least community takes Hyperion that way IF they make any mistakse, or are someway wrong.

Plans are dirrent thing than product, all the plans doesn't ever materialize.

I could imagine that FUD what they would get if they announce something and project fails...
