First of all you are completely wrong.

Show me 1 piece of proof that eyetech are swindling the consumers and getting "Fat"
they have a price, you pay it or dont, thats up to you, but it is certainly no base to start implying misconduct by Eyetech.
While i cannot PROVE that the price will reduce, its a good bet that once the orders for boards go from 100 lot batches to 1000 lot batches the price will drop considereably.
Furthermore as EYEtech are responsible for the design, they are not going to cripple thier board which will prevent them from using it for other customers just to supply KMOS with a set top box.
KMOS wont stop development or crimp development if Eyetech is selling thier boards in volume to industrial companies as is thier publicized plan, and has been their plan for some time.It would be foolish to do so as it would mean less sales of thier OS.
It is my view that an expanded set top box is the way things are going to go. With HDTV and other digital t.v. solutions, cable tv, MP3, dvd's, normal music, CD's, recording, radio, home entertainment(computer games) all being seperate pieces of equipment, a set top box combining all these functions, and even serving them to the rest of the household as well as providing a home gateway to the internet and a powerful home PC to-boot, is going to absolutely kick ass. I am already seeing moves in this direct direction and it is only a matter of time before it happens. If KMOS can position the Amiga with AOS4 in this market well enough, we will be home free.
I am so sick of people just tearing things down without even considering the possibility that something might actually be good.
