In yet another set of legal documents in the Amiga-Hyperion court case, it is revealed that AmigaOS 4 was ported to run on the Mac Mini (the PowerPC version, obviously), or, at least, that the port was in a very advanced state. The information was found in an email exchange between Bill McEwen of Amiga and Nicola Morocutti of VirtualWorks, about the latter obtaining a license to sell AmigaOS 4 together with the Sam 440ep board as well as, apparently, to sell boxed copies of AmigaOS 4 for the Mac Mini.

There are many opportunities to have PPC-based hardware : PPC Mac computers, Efika, Sony's PS3, ... and recent announcements talk about new product from embedded SOC (Freescale MPC5121e) to high-end server (Power6) throught AMCC Titan. And don't forget PWRficient from PA Semi.
No need to see x86 as the only capable hardware platform.
