there are hundreds of cheap chinese A13-based tablet factories from
who to buy boards+screens. but I suppose you'll need a custom case for
something more photo-frame-ish than a cheap leather case with stand.

the A13, as it's brothers the A10 and F20, all can boot from the
SD(HC) card. The kernel we have at
https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner is supposed to work fine with
the A13, but not sure if anyone has tested it yet. our u-boot still
needs love for working with sun5i (A13), but I'm sure that won't take
long to happen after henrik receives a prototype of the A13-olinuxino.
