I think I mentioned to you (and Brendan) that I think the "Pi" shortly 
becomes a class of device (like Kleenex is the by-word for any kind of 
tissue product), and everyone moves to Cortex-A8/A9 based devices like 
these. Additionally, the All Winner guys are known to be working well 
with upstream (Arnd told me as we were looking at some recently). I like 
the Pi, but I'm more enthusiastic about the general concept.

Jon.
