It seems as if the design for the A70x was sold to many different manufacturers. It presents as a number of different brands, the original designer seems difficult to determine. Some have also tweaked the design adding bluetooth support or switching to the A23 chip. As a successful device other manufacturers have also started marketing completely different products as the A70x.

But no patch was apparently ever sent into the mailing list.

I2C pads
The pads circled in yellow are in slightly different positions on some later versions of the board. They are sometimes screen printed SCK and SDA- Possibly i2c?
