Efika2 - what do you make of this?

Genesi announcing that Efika is already getting a new revision... Efika2.

Now, considering that:

1. Morph OS hasn't even come out for the first Efika

2. Many online stores have been selling Efikas for €200 or so, only for Genesi to drop the price to USD100, undercutting all sellers with a price they cannot match

3. They are stuck with Efikas that now that Efika2 is announced, no one will buy...

What do you guys think of this?

[Everblue]

Sure, take a shot

[Everblue]

No

What do you do with an Efika, sans Morph OS?

[Everblue]

I am talking for an Amiga user's point of view  :-D

This, after all is Amiga.org.

Yes i would like to buy an Efika, but only when MOS runs on it.... Hey what about an EFIKA/MINIMIG combo?

That would run everything amiga

[Everblue]

First of all this is an Amiga forum so you'd expect people to care for Amiga related stuff first and foremost....

Then, what I said is not that "baseless" .... I contacted both Vesalia.de and AmigaKit.com asking them when they will start selling Efikas at USD100, and they both said they are not able to sell their remaining stock at that price.

Maybe they were lying?

Exactly my point.

I've been waiting for awhile now for MorphOS to come out for this. I'll buy one as soon as that happens. Otherwise its just a little Linux machine

Well to be fair I dont think Efika is targetted at end users, but at developers. Any machine without an OS is useless to end users - yes I know its 'runs' Linux, but it seems to be too slow to be anything useful at that.

I bet Morph OS will be released in time for Efika2.
