Put an Apple sticker and everyone will say, "Oh that's why it's more expensive."

Regardless of price, I would have faith if they could just release it when they say they will. It won't happen though, a part time interest in the completion of these type of projects means that by the time it is released the technology has become bottom of the pack. Look at ARM going multicore. Next up is wireless USB.

I hope no one is saying the X1000 will make an impact on the market, don't delude yourself.
If you want to buy a nice PPC Amiga at a rather high price, it's your money and I won't be badgering you. Just point curious ex Amiga users to some cheaper alternatives. Otherwise they respond to the price "whaat!" and return to their PC without a second look.
In my opinion it will be pure luck if there are more PPC desktops available later on, even then they will expensive and fairly low powered. Amiga long term future is in Arm or x86. It could easily have an impact as a light lean OS if it got some momentum.
