	When choosing an A10-based device, be careful to not accidentally order a device based on a different SoC. Two caveats here:		When choosing an A10-based device, be careful to not accidentally order a device based on a different SoC. Two caveats here:
-	* There are some clones or "advanced versions" of MK802, based on the **Rockchip RK3066 SoC**. They carry different model numbers, for example "MK808" or "MK802 IIIs". For the uninitiated an RK3066 may seem like a better deal, with it being a Dual core 1.6 GHz CPU, and not that much more expensive; but in reality I wouldn't say it is. The reason to avoid it, is a much worse GNU/Linux support situation around the RK3066. As far as I know there is only one GNU/Linux distribution that works on it, the Ubuntu-based PicUntu; it also uses an old and partially binary-only kernel from Android.	+	* There are some clones or "advanced versions" of MK802, based on the **Rockchip RK3066 SoC**.

	* There is **the A10S**. It is a cheaper and for now not as well supported variant of the A10 (or actually A13), you should avoid it for time being. So pay attention that the product you get says "A10" and not "A10S" in its description.		* There is **the A10S**.
