Unlike Raspberry Pi, this already has commercial success in China. Many Chinese brand name tablets are using the A10. Allwinner has already reduced the price to $5. The A10 is very successful in China because it offers the best performance and power optimisations in this price range.
At $25 Raspberry Pi is a joke. If it actually sees a decent amount of sales, you will be sure to see actual companies that specialise in this field competing at lower prices and better performance. Raspberry Pi has realised something that everyone in the industry knows: computing is cheap. It will not take long for the competition to crush Raspberry Pi if there is a large enough market for what they are doing. As for now they are chasing after the tablet market and IMHO are going to do well.
Me thinks you labeling the Raspberry Pi as a joke is a bit, childish. The thing is barely into production and you say it's already lost to products that don't exist yet.
Then you say that if the thing is a success then other companies that specialize in such hardware will come in and crush them. That's highly possible but I thought you labeled it as a joke? If that situation happens I would call them leaders in the industry as the "highly successful" companies needed someone to show them the way.
At some point, one will be able to buy a RaspPi for $25 plus shipping that requires power and a display; you're ready to go. Where's the comparable product using the A10 and how much is it?
