i've created a news page, here:
http://rhombus-tech.net//allwinner_a10/news/

i just had a discussion with the owner of the factory this afternoon:
he just needed clarification and reassurance that the PCB layout would
contain everything that he needs for his own plans, as well as
fulfilling ours as well.  i wasn't able to reassure him completely
because i thought that the 44-pin connector that i was cut/paste
copying to create the layout mock-up was a 2.54mm pin-spacing, meaning
that the connector would be some 66mm long: it turns out that it's not
- it was 2.0mm spacing i.e. only about 50mm long.  so, well, i may
have overdone it on getting everything in :)

anyway, he is just going to double-check that in the ultra-low-cost
case, 16 pins of GPIO will be sufficient for the majority of purposes
that he needs, which it is highly unlikely to be in excess of that,
for PVRs, Tablets etc.  even if it is, the expansion header will have
extra pins available.
