Yeah it sounds like spam. Let me add a bit more.
<spam> What I like about this crowdfunded project is the intention to develop open source drivers and deliver a fully functional Linux tablet. The hardware designers and manufacturers didn't give a shit about that. Android happens to be most convenient for them so that is what we get. Open source drivers, why? A previous Linux tablet effort was apparently stalled, read this:

This could still happen to the PengPod as well. If a Linux-oriented hardware project succeeds, it makes me happy.

Anyway, just to let you know, _all_ allwinner A10 tablets/tvsticks/settopboxes can run linux without much effort at all. Not really any point in a 'boxed linux' version of it..
Sounds like you're experienced with these. I'm curious, did you manage to compile and install Pd or Pd-extended on them? Is it possible to get duplex audio I/O with Pd? (still a problem with the Pi). Do you need to use a real time kernel to get decent sound from Pd? Is a real time kernel for ARMv7 available at all?
Thanks, Katja
7" tablets with allwinner a10 cost about 70 usd on ebay.
I have been playing with a cubieboard a lot this last week ( http://cubieboard.org/ ) and although its not a holy grail, its a really nice toy.
