Chip-RAM extension: ACE2 by Individual Computers
For a few weeks Individual Computers has been offering "ACE2". This extension adds two Megabyte Chip-Ram to most of the OCS/ECS-Amiga. Because the board contains two components which are not available any more - the 2MB ECS-Agnus-Chip and a PLCC84 adapter socket - the producer has chosen a "progressive pricing model": The lower the availability of ACE2 the more the price increases. The first price was 120 Euro meanwhile it costs about 130 Euro. The maximum price will be 170 Euro.

Web browser: Netsurf 3.8 (Reaction)
The web browser Netsurf - and also Chris Young's Reaction-based Amiga port - is available in version 3.8. The (cross-platform) changes "feature some page layout improvements, stability and security improvements, and some minor additional features". The port for AmigaOS 4 is available on the official download site. Test builds for AmigaOS 3 are offered separately - but here the support for SSL/TLS is broken. Young asks for your help to fix it.
On request of amiga-news.de Artur Jarosik, who is developing the SDL version for AmigaOS3 (amiga-news.de reported), said that he also is going to release a new version soon.

Trevor Dickinson accusing Ben Hermans of criminal behaviour (Update)
In April 2009, a company called A-EON Technology was established in Belgium, to develop PPC hardware for AmigaOS 4. Trevor Dickinson, Anthony Moorley and Ben Hermans were named directors for the new entity. This incarnation of A-EON didn't last long though - a new company called A-EON Technology Ltd. located in Wales took over in Spring 2012 and has been responsible for the "AmigaOne X1000" and other A-EON products ever since. This change was never communicated or explained to the public.
