Joe,
the original article posted on linuxgizmos quoted a dual-core with 2gb
for $129, however that was reported incorrectly. the $129MSRP was
intended for a dual-core with 1gb of ram. unfortunately, it never got
corrected in the article and other news agencies replicated the
incorrect information. after feedback from early adopters and
distributors, it was determined that the dual-core with 2gb would be a
higher demand item, so the first production boards are all dual core
with 2gb of ram with a MSRP of $139. we will have options for you to
purchase the dual-core with 1gb for $129 available from several
distributors, as well several variations of the dual-core speeds, and
options for the quad-core. our biggest question continues to be if we
should introduce the quad-core with 2gb first, and then later a 4gb
version, or the other way around.
the distributors are given a "Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price" for
the products, however, as noted in the phase it is a "suggestion", so a
distributor can make their own decisions on what price to sell at. we
expect to see several distributors to retail the boards AT or BELOW the
MSRP...

Hi, I have a quick question about the pricing, hopefully someone can
answer...
Why are the authorized distributors selling these boards for
higher-than-official price?
Minnowboard.org still shows $139 for dual-core and if I recall
correctly, when the MAX was first announced, dual-core version was
advertised for $129...

a first production run has already been shipped out to mouser and the
pre-orders
should be handled first before stock is shown. a second production run
starts on
wednesday, with production runs following every two weeks there after.
based on
the number of pre-orders, it is probably going to take at least 2 or 3
weeks for
all pre-orders to be filled...
