I did (think about it) and personally I think its a cynical attempt to 
make money out of an historic brand without adding too much content.

There has been very little information on what is coming. There is 
absolutely no solid information on the AtariBox web site. There are a 
couple of pictures but no info at all.

More info was promised within two months in July. Nothing has appeared. 
This seems very like the Atari of old..

.. I would love to be proven wrong, and for a wonderful product to 
appear, but I won't be holding my breath....
