Allwinner A13 tablets with the same kind of screen are from $55 shipped
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-7-inch-android-4-0-Capacitive-Screen-Camera-WIFI-allwinner-a13-tablet-pc/439657132.html
So not that much more expensive, if at all.

Regarding the CPU itself, the most interesting point about ATM7013 is that it's
a MIPS, not ARM; http://www.actions-semi.com/en/product.aspx?id=56 - nice to
see that it lists WebM support; the GPU is mentioned in various places to be
Vivante GC800.

Perhaps someone with one of these tablets should write to Actions and request
GPLed source code.
