Amiga & AROS At OSNews, we have kept you updated about the Amiga hardware announced by ACK controls. Supposedly ready for shipping in May, we are now in the second half of September, and still no hardware. Interestingly, nor ACK Controls, nor Amiga, Inc., will be present at the upcoming Amiga show Pianeta Amiga - leading to the inevitable conclusion that like so many other announcements in the Amiga world, this one was yet another big puff of air. All hope is not lost, though: ACube Systems has announced the SAM440ep, a PowerPC board, of which industrial versions are already available (according to ACube). The consumer version is supposedly ready to ship starting 22nd September 2007, and interestingly, Hyperion will be present at the ACube booth at Pianeta Amiga. Finally, new Amiga hardware? Seeing is believing, many will say.

i hate to say this but...just let it die....dragging it out like this only makes it worse. I hate to look back on the amiga and think of this instead of how it was in the good old days.

go gently into that good night.

I agree, it's time the amiga rests in peace along the ST, the genesis and all those things from the 80's and 90's that kids call oldschool today...

The Genesis will die the day they make a Sonic game better than Sonic 2. i.e. never gonna happen.

Not only that but think of all of the projects that were held back because the next Amiga replacement was perpetually "18 months away".

Yeah. Just like bloody Linux. I wish those geeks would just leave it alone and let that die too. It's just a Geeks version of Windows. ;P
