Cheap? Yup, certainly is. Take a good hard look at the specs again. Targetted at 98% of computer users? Not likely! But I am not one of that 98%, hence my interest. An extremely powerful workstation is EXACTLY what I want and if it comes specced as suggested, at < $3,500 even allowing for the fact they never properly convert the price to sterling, but often just swap $ for £ it is within my grasp for that kind of power. It remains to be seen whether they put the kind of graphics support I'd really want on it... but then, it's all just a press release for now :¬)
Re: UBoot - want it supported by AROS? Send an A1 to an AROS developer. Sorry folks! AROS is an Open Source, part time (almost 'hobby') project. It has professionals working on it, but I doubt anyone can justify buying an A1 merely to port AROS to it because people have asked for it. Not at this point in time anyway. If you've got an A1 and you are interested in AROS and/or you are a developer, why not join the project and see about working on UBoot support?
