The development plan and concepts for AmigaDE and AmigaOS4 are outlined in detail on Amiga's tech update pages from April 12.
 

December 2000:
The Amiga Inc. web site has been getting more interesting. Bill McEwen's Executive Updates and the official corporate press releases will help in getting an idea of what the new company has been trying to accomplish. Of special interest is the first concrete announcement of a new Amiga, and McEwen's October 21 update. Also of interest is the profile of veteran third-party Amiga hardware engineer Dean Brown, who has recently joined the team.

In addition to the EE Times  stories mentioned below, an interview on IBM's developerWorks  web site contains fairly detailed discussion of Amiga's use of Tao Group's virtual processor, which translates applications to run on any supported processor very quickly, and the advantageous ability to run on top of other operating systems. Hopefully, this will help make it clear that Amiga DE has nothing to do with the 'classic' Amiga.
 

May 2000:
It has been difficult to summarize developments since the first of the year. Hopefully, a short description of the Amiga/Tao alliance and other recent events will follow soon. The best accounts still seem to be stories from January 13 and January 17 at EE Times. See the links to selected Press Reports for more.
 

January 4, 2000:
Over the New Year holiday, press releases indicated that Gateway has now sold Amiga and licensed the Amiga patents to Amino Development, headed by former Gateway marketing exec Bill McEwen.  The story is linked from the Press Reports page.
 

September 1999:
The 2-year Gateway saga has finally come to a disappointing end. It shouldn't have been entirely surprising, since the original motivation for Gateway's purchase of Amiga was limited to the acquisition of a few multimedia patents. The bewildering aspect is just how far Amiga, Inc. was allowed to take plans for a new 'Amiga' platform before Gateway effectively pulled the plug. There must be a very interesting story here, between Jim Collas' resignation as president of Amiga, Inc. and the terse dismissal by the president of Transmeta of any connection with the new Amiga. Some of the chronology of this convoluted tale is outlined on the Press Reports page.

Still, as the last nail seems to be driven into the Amiga's coffin yet again, a large number of original Amiga engineers and developers are involved with the Phoenix Platform Consortium, a new movement for the development of a new 'Amiga-like' platform.
