As promised, Amiga Inc. has released the specifications of the low end Amiga machine which will be available this summer. It will have the Flex-ATX form factor, with a Freescale PC8349E SoC (400MHz to 667MHz depending on requirements and price target), one DDR2 DIMM slot for a maximum of 1GB of memory, and more. It will cost USD 489. Manufacturing partner and final ship schedule will be following soon. The device is supposed to run AmigaOS 4, but the recent developments may interfere with that.

I tend to agree with you. Considering the specs and capabilities of this $489 computer, adding $110 to get yourself a Mac Mini with a 1.66GHz Core Duo and a much more capable OS seems like a nobrainer. Of course, there's always enthusiast (like myself) that would still be willing to buy it just to get a chance to play with OS 4.

Sorry, the specs are seriously dated. Why not just buy Core 2 motherboard and run AROS? That way you at least know the operating system will be continued to be developed in the future.
