Nice press release! I wonder if any mainstream rags will pick it up...

Oh yeah and I guess when the naysayers said "MAI is not a partner, Eyetech are only a custor", they were WRONG.

But then again this really isn't new information;-)

Sorry, I wish Alan all the best, and there's probably something I'm not aware of (please elaborate?), but for me this press release very distinctly leaves the taste of Eyetech as an unnecessary middle-man who is there simply to get his cut.


Mai and Eyetech seem to be actual partners here, not just a fancy useless press release. It may look like Eyetech is a middle-man, but without Eyetech IMO Mai wouldn't, or simply COULDN'T have enter this *OR* the LinuxPPC Market market.

Anyone have some solid numbers for us to chew on?


Actually you can go to the horses mouth for that, Eyetech.

From:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AmigaOneG3-SE pricing

Dealers are free to set their own end user prices both for the AmigaOneG3-SE boards and for complete systems to take account of import duty, localisation of support, documentation etc. However our recommended pricing for the AmigaOneG3-SE motherboard, inclusive of a 750CXe 600 MHz G3 PPC processor but exclusive of local taxes and shipping charges, is UKP350, USD500, EUR600.

OS4 pricing is determined by Hyperion but is likely to be UKP42.50, USD62.50, EUR70.00 (excluding local taxes) when bought with an AmigaOneG3-SE board or system. The standalone prices for OS4 (for use with the CyberstormPPC etc) are likely to be UKP51.00, USD74.00 EUR84.00 (excluding local taxes & shipping).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a matter of fact when I ordered my developer board I got a $50 discount, so the A1G3 is only costing me $450. I don't know where some people are getting ideas of prices north of >$600USD :-?
