After watching this video I'm seriously interested in getting an ION netbook or small notebook. However, other than the N510 that might be coming out sometime this month I can't find much information. So when should we expect to see the ION and the 300 series Atoms?
ION + Dual Atom note/netbooks - when?

There's also a Lenovo S12 I think which has the same CPU, but looking like autumn for that one.
Very interested myself, although swithering an NC10 or NC20.

Aye the ION platform definately has some great applications for small, quiet media, server or desktop platforms. As can be seen it can be put into a tiny box, put a 500GB Western Digital 500GB 2.5" HDD and you've got a small, quiet PC perfect for media usage.
If some of the come with HDMI with audio output, then even better. Obviously the 8400/9300 whatever it is GPU isn't going to be breaking any records, but its certainly more than suitable for HD playback, or low res, slightly older games, as could be seen by Call of Duty 4 on low settings, nothing amazing but it was playable; and I mean no one with one of these things is exactly going to expect to be playing Crysis on it.
