Hey Folks,
I received the development board, so I can share some experience thus far, if you have any questions, want me to run some tests let me know.
First of all the board is pretty big - if you are used to raspberry pi, think twice the size (check the photo for the size comparison). Personally I don't mind, but you may say whoa this is big

For the numbers fans: Antutu: final score: 23467
If you compare that to Amlogic or Rockchip

it seems to lag behind, on the other hand, Pine has no heatsink and I noticed very significant throttling when temperatures reached 120F.
If you want better performance heatsink is a must.
CPU-Z report available at valid.x86.fr/a/khq0ec
The standard range of apps work just fine, I had few crashes with app store installing antutu 3d, I guess there are some quirks of android that need to be worked out.
Netflix running at 1080p gets the temperature of the core (measured with the outside thermometer) to 110F.
KillAWatt EZ (the wall power meter) shows 4.8-5.2W while running Netflix.
Audio goes through HDMI unless you plug headphones.
Board shows great potential for whatever you will want to use it, game console / tv box, ARMv8 development machine. It needs some loving, but hey for 19/29$ you can't go wrong.
