The thing with the microA1 was the fact that it was a very cheep (by PPC standards) mini itx system, great for industrial, modding, appliance use etc. Had appeal to linux fans for many of the above reasons. With the arival of the mini mac, I see a massive loss potential of potential market space for the microA1 for the reasons I outlined in my earlier post...
All that work.. Sickening really. :-(
Sickening Reality .. I would say. Eyetech Mini-ITX was never even decently priced (and far from being cheap) for open market when compared to it's technology level, but some Amigians thend to belive so.
Apple has now shown *HOW* this mini.system should have been made at the beginning. Decent price, with nice package, ready-to use system, good connectivity, stable OS, Nice Software bundle.
And they manage to sell it with Price considerable lower than uA1-board(+os4) alone. Plus all goodies uA1 lacks (256MB DDRam, Usb2, Firewire, HD, Combo-drive case, SW-bundle) entirely and you'll spend lots of $$$ to get those.. If you'll ever find Programs comparable to Mac quality.
Next Thing we'll sure to hear that Apple sells these Mini-Mac's at loss ... :-D
