Bill McEwen, CEO " We at Amiga are pleased to once again be par t of the great plans and products at Commodore USA. This is just the beginning of something great."
"This is just the beginning of something great."
Seems as if Amiga Inc, is more involved in this than what is being said.

I'd be more interested in Atari FireBee if I was going for a custom hardware. 68k compatible, programmable FPGA onboard(one could softcode custom amiga chips just like they did for Atari), ColdFire 266 MHz. Not a speed demon, but still very interesting. And "only" 600(+VAT) euros. I know, there's also Natami, but somehow I prefer the FireBee solution.
Initial production run of the X1000 being 250 units is not very encouraging. Even the OpenPandora guys managed to sell out a first batch of 4000 units and are on to the second one.
Errrr, the X1000 costs "north of £1500", while the Pandora costs something like £270 (estimated). You do NOT expect to sell the same quantity of something when it costs far higher. Same way that A500/A1200 sold FAR more than A2/3/4000.
Also, I doubt A-Eon have any real idea how well the X1000 will sell, so it's better to be start with relatively low volumes, and see how they do. If they over-estimate the volume, then they go bust. If they under-estimate, then no problem apart from a small delay to customers.
