Thanks Peter, I will keep an eye for Allwinner SOC based tablets and
see what I can find.

It puzzles me to see high end quad core and octa core SOCs, shipped w
2GB and 3GB of RAM but only as "tv boxes", yet no one seems to bother
to install those SOCs on a tablet form factor. Puzzling,indeed.

Most of those use AmLogic SOCs... eg

Linux kernrl seems to ne available...

Why no one seems to be making tablets based on this SOC is beyond me.
I can only think of thermal issues and power consumption...

Oh well...
