There isn't anything really cool about them as they just look like low-powered PCs with commodity hardware. All the newschool Amigas feel sterile and neutered. However, it also takes away from their microcomputer appeal and hardware hackability. Yes, it makes them more stable and easier to port things like web browsers over to. The PPC sucked for ASM coders and MOS + AOS4 both embraced the new school "let's wrap everything in bubble wrap" philosophy. Newer hardware using the PPC is utter trash and total blasphemy against the 68k CISC ISA, too. If you have some cop following you around everywhere policing all your memory usage, it's great for stability, but blows for performance. The custom chips allow you to take control of the hardware in surprisingly straightforward ways.

It was always meant to be a lean and mean close to the metal programming platform. However, it's just not appropriate for the Amiga. MorphOS and AmigaOS v4.x both did a bunch of un-Amiga things like adopt Unix-like programming APIs. There are like two guys working in the wilderness on it. Not everything is perfect or stable, but it gives you RTG, upgraded sound, HDMI output, half a gig of RAM (a lot for Amiga apps), wifi, MicroSD storage, IDE, and a smoking fast processor that will eat the 68060 alive many times over. I run one in an Amiga 500 and it takes all comers. The Vampire Amiga folks are doing amazing things with their FPGA Apollo 68080 core. The problem is, there is so few bucks left to make it's not worth the hassle. Nobody will know for sure until there is a knock down drag-out lawsuit and somebody goes home crying. The Amiga historical landscape is littered with people claiming to own the various critical trademarks such as AmigaOS, Amiga, Kickstart, and so forth. Who knows what lost legal deals ESCOM and Gateway did when they owned, the IP, too.
AMIGA OS 3.9 RELEASE DATE PC
One more colorful guy was an ex-trucker who wanted to resurrect the Amiga as a PC (the horror! and no 68k - blasphemer!). There are several other IP holders such as Cloanto in Italy and a few ex-licensees (or so they claim) in the USA too. It's rumored that they bought the IP for Kickstart for $1 between a couple of friends. I'm not a lawyer, but Hyperion has always seemed like a jumped up small-game company grabbing for lost Amiga glory. Notice even in the announcement they want you to know they are the *sole* IP holder. However, they are very *loud* about those claims. They have a fairly shady and shaky claim to rights to AmigaOS and Kickstart.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm highly suspicious (but nonetheless curious).
AMIGA OS 3.9 RELEASE DATE UPDATE
So, it sounded different when you told it to say "This is Amiga speaking." Now, this update is from Hyperion. It also had a few updates to the user interface and the text to speech voice phonemes were updated. It had a much better version of the formatting and partitioning tools.
AMIGA OS 3.9 RELEASE DATE UPGRADE
Haage & Partner released AmigaOS 3.9 in the 90's which definitely was an upgrade to 3.1.
