when you buy A10 for $7.00 please sell me some, I will buy immediately 1000 
pcs for $8, easy $1000 for you ;) deal?

I think this $7 price tag you put without any real deal behind is misleading 
people big time, as I already bough 1000 pcs A10 from Allwinner (just to 
receive proper documentation and SDK) for double this price and from Wits 
who oficially sells A10 to the smallish companies told me that the price is 
this for up to 100K pcs order, so iMX6 is definitely cheaper for me than A10 
for 10K pcs based on real deals and real distributor quotes

sure iMX6 is very new and FSC will not sell them earlier than beginning of 
2013 from what I learned, but ...

how do you know how many bugs there are in A10 without documentation? :-)

iMX6 is even not for sale but I got yesterday 200 pages datasheet and 4600 
pages user manual in advance.
