I got on the interested list. No offer to pre-order as I believe they sold out of the first run. :pissed:

Just kept at it.  Site kept timing out.  I think I managed to get around it by managing to add one to my basket.  Site kept crashing and by time got back in you could only register interest.  But it was still in my basket so ordered it and it said 30 day wait for re-stock.

I got one to play aorund with.
 
it was £30 by then time you added VAT but still.  £30 for what as I see as a piece of history and a very interesting platform to mess around with.
 
It is powered from a mini usb port.  Everyone has these leads for their phones these days.  You  cna basically carry this thing around anywhere with you

What you dont understand iggy.   You are totally missing the goals of this device.  But you are american so you probably do not know about the history of the bbc micro and what it achieved in and for the british education system

Actually, Iggy was referring to the Efika MX (he quoted Dammy in his post).

 
In that case I apologise Iggy.  I would agree that the Efika  is pointless :)

These are the first batches to get developers / teachers etc hand on before its released to schools in cases etc.
 
I think people are being very narrow minded, who would have though it in the amiga community.
