But which video "codecs" are supported by ION or broadcom with Windows7 video acceleration? Codecs such as MPEG2, DIVX ##, XVID, H.264LP, H.264MP, H.264HP, .... Can I play a H.264HP 1080p video flawless on a broadcom or nvidia netbook? Such a video should need the most raw calculating power on a system without hardware video acceleration and even some older Desktop PCs have trouble with it. Thanks in advance for an answer. Hi

Maybe a Pine Trail version will come out soon to help with battery life. The Mini 311 would be ideal with a little longer battery life.

More evidence (at least in my mind) that ION 2 will *not* be a Mini PCI-e solution.
