Yep.. In one nice blow.. A1-lite looks old, ugly etc..
And the A1 Lite is not even released yet! MAI is going to do a redesign of the board to ad some new chips (probably a new NB as well) and some more connectors, bugtest it, etc. Say that it's going to be released in 4-6 months from now. Then it will be kind of jurassic and (probably) very expensive. At least if you compare it to the x86 solutions that will be available in half a year from now.
But PPC will be kind of unique though, and that makes me like the A1 Lite concept. But at the bottom line it all comes down to the price ...
