again, that's just not the case. the SAM460ex 1.1GHz (
link) is indeed $814.64. but the SAM460cr 1.1GHz (
link) is $733.04. see? the SAM460cr is cheaper; it is not the same price. they never said the SAM460ex would get cheaper. they announced a new, cost-reduced version, the SAM460cr -- and that
is cheaper.
edit: ah, you meant the cost of the AmigaOne 500 hadn't gone down. that's true; it hasn't. but there are plenty of other SAM460cr complete systems they offer that are cheaper.
