Do we really have to complain about the price?

I don't live in the EU, so I wouldn't have to pay the German VAT - so maybe that helps shave off 19%.

Eh, either buy it or don't....I can't say as I blame someone for not buying it.

But this is a niche market, and I, for one, am happy about the state of hardware - relatively regular updates - occasional opportunity to buy one in-stock, and not on some pre-order scheme.

And its actually cheaper than a big box Amiga used to cost.

Yes, I know 1.15Ghz PowerPC isn't going to light the world on fire, but, neither is AmigaOS 4.1.  

It's a hobby - I wouldn't mind thinking about one - to tell the truth.   I'm all Mac's right now, an Amiga would be a nice addition.

I guess just the fact that it has a webkit browser, and I do most of my work in html5/javascript - makes me think there is a chance, at least that it could be useful - no I haven't been anywhere near a real amiga in years, so I can't verify what bugs might be with that implementation of browser, but - eh, still kind of interesting to see the new hardware.
