It's nice that there's new PPC hardware, but I'm sure it'll be the same as always with these, everyone will be surprised that it was supposed to be low-cost hardware, but the price tag is well over 1000€ for just the motherboard

Well, for what I understand, the design and the BOM of the Mirari does allow for a reasonable sales price. This is something that both OS4 and MorphOS users want. I don't expect the MorphOS team to put a hefty extra on the board price because they'd only be shooting themselves in the foot. The situation is a little different for OS4: there are more players and interested parties involved, so if everyone decides to take a cut, yes, the price can easily climb to 1000€. But then users will flee to MorphOS because the deadly combination of cheap hardware, clear ownership structure, regular updates and quality sóftware (browser, anyone?) will finally swing the balance towards MorphOS.
