Thanks!
It's a much higher spec than the Raspberry Pi (1ghz ARMv7
Cortex-A8
with 1Gb RAM and real SATA) for only a few bucks more and is hardfp so
it should be an interesting device (there's a LOT of cheap A10/A13
boards/devices appearing) but it will likely be similar to the Pi in
that the kernel is not yet mainline so it'll likely be an out of tree
support in the short term.

I think I mentioned to you (and Brendan) that I think the "Pi" shortly
becomes a class of device (like Kleenex is the by-word for any kind of
tissue product), and everyone moves to Cortex-A8/A9 based devices like
these. Additionally, the All Winner guys are known to be working well
with upstream (Arnd told me as we were looking at some recently). I like
the Pi, but I'm more enthusiastic about the general concept.
