 how is $11 better than $7? (bearing in mind that demand for the A10
has been so high that allwinner have had to increase the price
temporarily whilst they get the supply increased from TSMC on TSMC's
standard 90-day delay, where the request for increase in supply was
made approximately 90 days ago)

 ... *maybe* in september.  they're fixing the latest round of bugs.
there's no guarantee that there will not be another round of bugs for
freescale to have to fix.  whereas the A10 is a stable known quantity
and has been shipping for some time.

 what we don't know about the A10 is its long-term support lifetime
roadmap.  we know for a fact that freescale will have a specified and
guaranteed lifetime for its products.
