AmigaOne Lite Specs revealed : Comment 32 of 35 | ANN.lu |

Yeah, that's really a must ;-)

This is a replacement for Eyetechs CD32-based infodesk systems. Hopefully it could see use as stb as well, but I really think one TV input is enough. Leaves a free PCI slot. Or you could use firewire for digital audio...

It will be a lot simpler to sell it to clients who write their own software (industrial use) than tconsumers who expect it to run Word. Seriously.
What you're thinking of is probably so far into the future that we'll see a new version of the Articia by then (Sa/P) making the whole design obsolete anyway.
I will buy it even without digital 5.1 sound, and I suspect a lot of others will. I suspect adding it would increase the cost more than bundling a cheap/dirty digital audio card.
Not saying I don't agree that it would be nice, just arguing against the logic that it is a "must have". I could be wrong, however.
But until it has super cow powers, I can't use it ;-) |
