dude, i think some of you dont get the point.
the situation is not about "slow cpu" vs "faster cpu"
its rather "slow cpu" vs. "nothing at all". so be grateful that at least somethings still coming. we're not a huge community and its not like we can choose everything we dream about. What have you done for the community? maybe thats the question you should ask yourself.
Coming to the
OS4 community.

And so what. Its going to happen, and it was a bad CPU choice for the design.
One that the flaws were known and were discussed for some time.
Let the OS4 community have it.
MorphOS does not have to support it, we haven't supported every A-eon design, so why worry about a bad design just because its low priced.
I doubt it will be cheaper than lots of the hardware we already have support for.
dude, if its not relevant for you, why the f are you then hating about it? whats your problem?
Regarding
new hardware there is
NO other alternative for MorphOS but A-EON. The Apple hardware is used and old, not efficient in power comsuption vs. speed.
Yeah the fpu is a downside on that specific model, but there are dozens of upsides... Nevertheless you'll get a dualcore system for the same price as the sam.
maybe you should piss off more people, so that we'll never ever see anything new again. I think you would be pretty happy with that right? There is a huge difference between a constructive and destructive approach to things. the first step would be to honour the hard work in the first place, then we can talk about things to improve. Our MorphOS community is so small and the people from the outside are annoyed by the attitude and arrogance of our community. Maybe we should copy some of the spirit thats alive in the OS4 community and be more tolerant towards developers and hardware engineers. I really cant stand that arrogant attitude.
If there are cheaper alternatives, have you contacted A-EON and asked them about their decision? maybe you're judging on a subject your not 100% familiar with. Or are you indicating that those people developing the boards are idiots?
Fact is OS4 users have a large amount of new hardware configurations to choose from. We do not have that possibility.
