Nvidia: First ION based system to be a nettop, launching in June

Nvidia’s general manager of MCP business Drew Henry recently revealed that the very first ION-based product will be a nettop instead of a netbook, and that it will launch in June for $299 USD. Who was going to launch it first (whether it was MSI, Acer, or Asus) wasn’t specified, however, and we are only left to speculation. Nvidia also announced that their new product has passed Microsoft Windows Vista WHQL certification and can support high-definition multimedia and graphics processing. This means that netbooks/nettops should be able to show HD video content easily once the platform launches. That still doesn’t fix the problem of low resolution netbook screens, though. In any case, if you were waiting for more info on ION, there’s all that you can gleam at the moment.
