What would you want in a new Atari?

I know this topic has been probably done to death, but I didn't see any threads on it, so why not.

Basically, what features would you want in a followup to the ST/TT/Falcon series? I know there's the FireBee, but the price is so astronomically high, it will necessarily remain an ultra-niche product.

I have basically three things I would want:
  • Above everything else, an OpenHardware design. The Ataris and Amigas are living testaments to the danger of proprietary designs. This is even more a problem for low-volume things like a new Atari would be.
  • Under $100. I don't even know if this is possible, but then again, FPGAs are going down in price. . .
  • Can be made by hand. The circuitry should be such that it could be soldered by an individual with adequate skill. While I doubt it's possible, what would be even better is if the PCB could be made with only 2 layers, then even it could be DIY'd
