Totally lovely :)

Personally I think if they want to make their mark, they should reduce the price to $39.99.
(I'm still stuck for time doing my KiCAD version of one, and even if I get time, the newer versions would probably drop the edge connector and aim for a couple of FPC connectors.)

Looks nice indeed!
And a matching EVB seems to be coming http://wiki.iteadstudio.com/Core_EVB (out of stock)

...and I see VGA output on that 32p connector! I think I know what I might be asking about for Christmas this year... ;)

Hey, ITEAD has it all out now --> http://imall.iteadstudio.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Core+EVB
Looks like the (relevant part of the) list is: Core AW2041 = A20 SoC / 1gb RAM module Core AW2042 = A20 SoC / 2gb RAM module Core EVB = carrier board
They've also got a case and a "build your own" sort of kit thing where you can pick AW2041/AW2042, EVB (or not), case (or not), and power supply (US/EU 9v/12v... or not).
Looks like the power supply connector is the timeless 5.5mm/2.5mm barrel jack. Pretty common stuff.
I notice one intriguing thing on the wiki page Henrik posted -- on the underside of the EVB board, as shown in the dimensional drawing they have (it's the image on the right, under "hardware", if it's not obvious) -- there's a four-pin something with a PCB antenna -- internal USB WiFi or bluetooth adapter, maybe? The antenna layout (if it's accurate) would be about right for the BLE adapters on eBay, as is the size of the module. But I could see integrated WiFi a lot more easily.
Interesting, in any case...
I thought there was a second unmentioned item -- but it's labeled properly and I'd just missed that somehow, lol. It's an FFC/FPC connector for LCDs. 40 pins. It's also on the bottom of the board, right in the middle.

It's an USB module. Quite likely optional addon. Shematics says HFL-W2 which is a realtec WIFI 150MBps module, but it's USB so pretty much any USB PCB module can fit there.
I would not count on it being included by default. It is NOT mounted on the pictures available in the shop, or mentioned in any descriptions.
I would guess that this fits nicely: http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im140829001.html
from the pictures it looks like it may be easy to solder an external antenna to the module, but not sure. Not much details in specifications.

Yes the LCD LVDS connector is quite documented.

Yeah, that looks about right... Tricky to solder headers to those edge-type solder points, but not impossible. I've heard it talked about (Dave Jones / EEVblog mentioned it about a product sample he got, in one or two of his YouTube segments). Never actually done it tho...

Yes it is, although the pinout table could stand to be a goodly bit more informative. What I meant was, I had missed the label for it on the photo type diagram where it has a little inset picture of the part where the connector is, and says what and where it is. That's all... although I think it might be about time for new glasses! :P
