> Haage & Partner 'Amiga Forever' lineage You are confusing one with the other. Haage & Partner did "3.5" and "3.9". Those are no longer distributed, as the contracts with both Amiga and the develope

This update wasn't really "unexpected", as there have been patches and updates for AmigaOS 3.x from various sources (not just Hyperion Entertainment) every few years. Hyperion is operating while insolvent and has failed to fi

Nice! On your site it says "The calendar data can come from one or more calendar providers". Is the connection direct (e.g. data flows from Google to epaper calendar), or via the app installed on the user's phone, or does it

You are blaming the wrong people. Amiga wanted (wants) to make an open source branch. Cloanto said the same on multiple occasions. I know people who saw settlement drafts with Hyperion, the provision was there. Ask the 3.1.4 developers in t

What lawsuits are you talking about? Cloanto never sued anyone, other than having been dragged in the case of lawyer-owned Hyperion Entertainment. Hyperion is owned by a litigator who is well known for his tactics in his home country of Bel

Curious about hardware differences across markets. I bought my previous gen 2 watch in Japan, so it came with the Suica feature (which my phone lacks). Will they again limit this feature to Japan sales? And then, will LTE be different (opt
