Better value comparable system ? Oh ok then :
Apple eMac
Easy if you make tons and tons of them. Amiga is not Apple, and they should stop pretending to be, and stop deluding themselves into thinking that they know what they are doing.
.. oh yes and an OS that is finished!
That's what ticks me off the most. All this fuss to get superb hardware out there... to run Linux. You can run Linux on any damn board in the universe.
I wonder how long it will take to release OS 4.1 -- which, technically, I'm supposed to get for free, too!
How could Eyetech possibly produce cheap A1 motherboards, when the Amiga market is so small?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't Amiga Inc. (KMOS, whatever) be making these boards and not Eyetech? Eyetech wants to make proprietary hardware under a license from Amiga/KMOS to ensure they can sell and fully control their *own* stuff and not some recycled PC hardware. That's what all this proprietary crap is about -- control and licensing, not quality.
Actually, speaking of recycled hardware, can anyone take the micro A1 seriously seeing how it's basicly just a shrunken down AmigaOne? Where's all the *new* stuff like SerialATA, USB2.0, and support for vanilla DDR?
Everyone should remember what happened to the FIRST AmigaOne. You know, the one with the A1200 connector?
