According to Hans-Jörg Frieden, AmigaOS 4 SDK beta preview is to be released to Earlybird owners just before Christmas.
Reading some comments, it seems Amiga OS 4 beta is to be released, and it should include the final SDK.
Complete with autodocs, include files, compilers, binutils and some sample code, altough at the moment, without an IDE.

AmigaOS 4 SDK to be released to Earlybird owners : Comment 3 of 184 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Wayne Hunt on 23-Nov-2003 20:34 GMT | > AmigaOS 4 SDK beta preview
Forgive me for asking, but what exactly is a "SDK beta preview"?
When I stated my opinion in March that OS4 would not be released for "several months" despite official claims that it was about to be released, a lot of people in this community really laid into me. Accordingly, giving people the benefit of doubt, I was absolutely sure we'd see the release of OS4 for the AmigaOne before the end of the year. After all, that's what we were all being told. Now we're being told that AmigaOne owners should be getting a "beta" of a Software Development Kit (which is NOT suggesting in any way that OS4 itself will be done) by Christmas?!?!
Speaking strictly for myself as an interested party, where is OS4??? How many more fiscal quarters will it be before this mythical beast is actually available to us mere mortals running on the dedicated AmigaOne? (Before you ask, yes, I am very interested to see it)
Seriously, this is NOT intended by me as a slam against anyone. You can attack me personally for asking all you want, but I find this announcement of a "beta SDK" very incredibly disappointing. Most AmigaOne owners that I've talked to don't actually develop software, and most really, really want OS4 for their AmigaOne.
Look at this from my perspective. Liken this situation to Tivo and ReplayTV. I own a Tivo (several in fact). I *love* my Tivo machines but I still find myself very interested in playing with a ReplayTV. Similarly, I own and regularly use a Pegasos (and work for Genesi) but still can't help but have a rabid fascination with seeing and being able to play with OS4 on the AmigaOne.
Out of curiousity, (and please understand that I really, honestly mean this as a sincere question) how much longer is the average AmigaOne AMIGA user prepared to run Linux on their $800 AmigaOne motherboard at this point?
