I it would be great if some company put these into a small 7in tablet. Thats a very underserved form factor in the maker space.

These use a very old and SoC and only 512MB of LPDDR2.

Using this for a tablet would be a very disappointing and slow experience. There are many better SoCs to use. If someone was set on using a Raspberry Pi, the full size compute modules would be a much better choice.

These are for embedding in very simple devices. You wouldn’t want to use it for anything like web browsing or trying to run a modern GUI app.

For the modern web it isn’t fast enough. Thank the JavaScript slingers for that.
