Marko Seppanen has summarized the news of this year's AmiWest in Sacramento :
- A batch of 500 boards of the AmigaOne X5000/020 currently is produced and are supposed to be shipped before the end of this year using a new type of Fractal Design case. The AmigaOne X5000/040 will be shipped next year
- A batch of 1000 boards of the Tabor-board is and will be produced, their performance was good enough [Editor's note: AmigaOS 4 currently does not run on it]
- The AmiStore now has more than 700 registered users.
- There will be an update to AOS4.1 Final Edition. All existing platforms will be supported. There are no detailed plans for 4.2, adding Gallum is still a long way.

Workbench-Distribution: AmiKit 8.5.1 on an USB-stick under WinUAE
The Workbench distribution AmiKit, which is meant for emulators, is available in version 8.5.1.
For the first time the distribution can be purchased as "Special Amiga 30 Years Edition" on an USB-stick. Contrary to previous versions, WinUAE is used instead of E-UAE, which runs on an adapted Linux distribution named AmiPUP. This provides higher speed and stability.
Using the new function "Rabbit Hole" it is now possible to launch Windows and Linux programms and to open files from the Amiga section.

AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Preversion of "Amiga Racer"
On some pictures of the "Amiga 30" in Neuss a DVD-case with a cover of a game named "Amiga Racer" could be seen. Under the address amigatec.com currently there is only a website which is under construction.
The blog "Amiga Spiele News" made further investigations and found out, that "AmigaTec Inc." is Michael St Neitzel, who is going to develop games for AmigaOS 4 - on Youtube there is a promotional video which introduces the "company" AmigaTec.
Back to "Amiga Racer": In a Facebook group, which obviously is only accessable to invited members, an early version of the game can be downloaded. After the programm was launched, it can be updated.
The Spanish blog "Amiga Discovery" has found a snapshot of the event Amiga 30, which shows the game. As you can see, the game also runs under MorphOS.
