I would like to know what the time span is between a typical “hype & bandwagon” article like this one is, and it actually being available on the market. I think it is about 2 years.

The more they hype these NEW UPCOMING and “possible” features, the more I am NOT going to buy anything currently available, because … well whatever is currently available is obsolete against anything you are hyping.

So I will basically never own a Nettop. With, or without the latest <insert catchy name here> because the fact that whatever I'm about to buy is old technology is rammed down my throat on thousands of speculative reviews.

Here I have been holding off buying a nettop until the crop if ion platforms show up, and you have to go and ruin it for me.... great.

I would also LOVE it if they came out with a CULV version of this with the ION 2... If it's a descrete card there's no reason they couldn't, and that's something I'd gladly pay money for in nettop and 'netbook' form. I look forward to finding out more about this platform.
