ok, A10/512M xor A10/1GB. clear. the A13/512M was going to be ~35E, a 
killer! but how much did you estimated for the A10/512M and how much for 
the A10/1GB? even if it's the double of the A13's (70E) it will be much 
cheaper than the cubox (99E) or the beagle xm (120E)

I see the "push away" problem the other way around. a A10/512 for 50E 
will give very little reason to people to pay the extra 15.

imho the feature distance between the A13+hdmi and the A10/512M is 
simply too narrow.
