AROS complete system AresOne (late 2013) and Ares Cube S available
According to Pascal Papara, the AROS-computers "ARES mini M1000" and M1600 are not available any longer. They were replaced by the ARES Cube S and the "new" AresOne. The date will no longer be part of the name, "late 2013" was only added for "marking" the new version.
The AresOne now has a faster processor and integrated WiFi, supported by AROS. A Gallium-compatible graphic board is standard.
Because Broadway and AEROS r4 are still in progress, IcAROS desktop is installed. Special wishes can be discussed before ordering it.

A-EON: Voting on name of the next AmigaOne generation
Press release: Cardiff 2013, 21st October 2013
Following our announcement at Ami-West that we are developing the "Cyrus Plus" motherboard, which could spawn three new AmigaONE models, we carried out a straw poll on possible naming options for the new machines. The AmiWest audience voted on the four naming groups included in items 1 to 4 in the table below. The result was evenly split between groups 3 and 4, with groups 1 and 2 receiving zero votes.
However, since the announcement we have received numerous emails, either agreeing or suggesting alternative naming schemes. As a result of this feedback we are now opening the poll to the wider Amiga community. Eight additional naming groups have been included which reflect the most popular naming options suggested. So here is your chance to help select the names for the new "Cyrus Plus" AmigaONE systems.
If you would like to help shape the AmigaONE's future please select your first and second choices and email your vote to contact@a-eon.com
with "Cyrus Plus name" in the subject line.

Alinea Computer becomes X1000-distributor (update)
According to Trevor Dickinson of A-EON in his latest Blog, the PPC-computers "AmigaOne X1000" will be sold by the German trader Alinea Computer. In the Internet-shop of the company the X1000 is not listed so far. All interested users are to contact Alinea via eMail.
Additional to the well-known complete systems with preinstalled AmigaOS 4.1 there also is a dualboot-option with an installed Linux. We do not have information about prices yet. According to unconfirmed information the former distributor Amigakit listed a X1000 complete system with about 3100 Euro.
Update: (16.10.13, 14:30, cg)
In an article on a1k.org, Simon "AmigaPapst" Neumann from Alinea explained that the exact price depends on the used components - he expects a price of "about 2800 Euro".
