[Arm-netbook] pricing on eoma68 cards

[alex allss]

Connectors quality.

I have some china tablets with very bad steel connectors like
"usb-micro" (I  removed it without desolder with some small pressure).
I have some fearings in it with eoma card. Also same goes with Pb-free
solder and very thin copper traces.
