I would think it's in Amazon's overall interest, not necessarily in Amazon.com's interest, to further ingratiate themselves in the developers community.
That being said, much of the TI development kits are sold at-cost, or even nearly below (see the launchpad series, $5 development boards), so it may not be as economically feasible for Amazon to match that pricing, giving that selling bulk chips aren't their business.
I know, I was implying that beagleboard/pandabaord may be being sold at a limited profit much like the launchpad boards, to attract interest to the platform.
Very cool, but their website is down (HN'd?) and their lack of any real "call to action" (which gets me off their tumblr and to their ACTUAL website) will leave many a mouse-wielding monkey stupefied.
Not that I agree with this, but a book written on the subject recently was a fascinating read - "The Undead: Organ Harvesting, the Ice-Water Test, Beating Heart Cadavers--How Medicine Is Blurring the Line Between Life and Death by" Dick Teresi. Check out this NPR story about it too: http://www.npr.org/2012/03/19/148296627/blurring-the-line-be...
Cool. If you are going to head towards a CLI version, consider a name change though. Foreman is also the name of a very popular CLI based web development tool (https://github.com/ddollar/foreman)
