Interview with Trevor Dickinson

Ok since we are talking comparative value then we should use the average UK house price as a base.

Our constant is £1500 - Launch price in UK of A1000 and suggested launch price of X1000

Average UK house price in 1985 £31000
Average UK house price in 2010 £223000

Therefore an A1000 (£1500) was 4.8% of the average house value in 1985
Whereas an X1000 (£1500) will be 0.67% of the average house value in 2010

So an X1000 today is about 7.2x less expensive than an A1000 in 1985.

I hear VCRs and CD players were relatively expensive when they came out. Computers are a commodity now, how expensive an A1000 was in 1985 is no longer meaningful.

When the X1000 takes off we will increase the AmigaOne userbase by 1000-2000 !

^I fixed it for you.

I never stipulated it had to be proprietary hardware, that's your end of this discussion.   So exactly how much research did you go into OEM costs to produce a tablet for OS4?  If Apple is selling it for around $600, it sure didn't cost that much to manufacture, they like nice profits as does the retail stores and whatever middlemen their are between Apple and the end user.

Plus Apple provides a warranty. Since anyone buying OS4 hardware is likely unfamiliar with that term, I've provided a dictionary link. Definition #3 applies.
