App-Store: Amistore is online (update)
The App-store "Amistore" established by Amigakit obviously is online. A shop application which only runs under AmigaOS 4 (a version for AmigaOS 3 was announced) and according to the website is still a beta version can be downloaded. A web-interface for the store currently does not exist and as far as we know is not planned.
We would like to thank Andy "broadblues" Broad for the screenshots taken of shop. Broad has pointed out that not all items are already available but "soon".
Hint of the editorial staff: As far as we know the shop was written with Hollywood. If you launch the application a large number of pictures is loaded. Users with slower computers or low memory has reported long loading times.
Update: (11.11.2014, 16:45, cg)
According to reports of some customers, to the prices in the Amistore VAT and packaging and shipping costs must be added. Currently the final price for the product obviously will be only shown on the Paypal website after having purchased it. The amount of money which Paypal lists as packaging and shipping costs seems to be the Amistore fee. The pure purchase price will get the author of the product. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Miniature model: Amiga 1000 as 3D-print
Since yesterday the shop Etsy has offered the miniature model of an Amiga 1000 with monitor, keyboard and mouse in two different versions. Version one shows the screen of the Workbench, version two shows Deluxe Paint with the well-known motive from Sandro Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus".
The Amiga is only slightly larger than a coin and is produced with the 3D printing technology.

AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for ACube-hardware with limited Radeon HD-driver
The SAM4x0-version of the Final Edition of AmigaOS 4.1 will not include a RadeonHD-driver, because version 1.x of the driver is available for free only for X1000-customers. Many owners of a SAM have to purchase the driver.
In order to be able to launch the Final Edition on a SAM-motherboard equipped with a Radeon HD graphic board, A-EON and ACube have reached an agreement: A limited version of the driver will be included on the installation-CD.
The "RadeonHD Lite"-driver does not support compositing and is limited to a screen solution of 1024x768 but allows installing the operating system. Owners of ACube's hardware with Radeon HD graphic board later can install the commercial and full version of the driver.

Cloanto: Workbench 3.1 Floppy Disk Set
A few days ago, Cloanto started offering bootable CF cards containing Workbench 3.1. Meanwhile a floppy disk set is available, consisting of 6 DD disks (available from Vesalia, Amigakit and Amigastore.eu amongst others).
Just like they did with the CF card, Cloanto is using the Cloanto owned trademarks "Workbench" and "AmigaForever" as branding, this is why the previously unused moniker "Workbench 3.1" is introduced - with version 3.1 of the system software, Commodore originally used the term "AmigaOS".
Update: (05.11.2014, 17:15, cg)
We've been informed by Cloanto that this distribution has a few improvements over the original 3.1 disk set:
- Updated C/Version (Y2K patch)
- Addition of Libs/workbench.library (for A-4000T 3.1 ROMs and 3.X ROMs)
- Updated S/Startup-Sequence (for 3.X ROMs)
- Updated Installer 44.10 and FastFileSystem 45.9 (to support larger disks)
- Installer itself is now part of the system installation (inside the Utilities directory)
