Excellent news indeed. I agree that an x86 port would be fantastic, as would an integrated app store (iPhone style).

Aside from having a popular hardware platform, to get Amigos OS back off the ground we need developers. Amiga OS still uses C as it's primary development language. Fast as C is, there's a dwindling number of coders that have any idea about how to write it. Not to mention that developing a sophisticated app using managed languages like C# is much much faster. IMHO, Amigo needs a development environment and language that is contemporary. Using C# or Java as a first class citizen in the Amiga SDK would make life a lot easier for potential devs.
