 I have to say it doesn't surprise me. iMX53 wouldn't have been a change 
 big enough to compete with the likes of Toshiba AC100 on performance, 
 especially at the price point where the AC100s are at now (I'm ignoring 
 the fact that Toshiba no longer makes them because the supply of them is 
 still plentiful).

 Should be interesting to see what they come up with. It'd be nice to 
 have a worthwhile competitor to the AC100.
