I've had one for a while and my observations are as follows:

1.  emulation seems pretty solid.
2.  You cannot save a game such as Faery Tale Adventure directly.  You have to do a savestate which is awkward at best.
3.  The positioning of the jacks is also extremely awkward.  Power switch is nestled between the HDMI jack and the power input.  I was told a new model was coming out and the proto-testers would get the revised version.  I ain't seen nothing yet!
4.  They're announced a Armiga Forum.  I signed up but as yet haven't gotten a confirmation email so can't log in.

In summary, not a bad idea, but honestly, WINUAE works a lot better and is cheaper.
