I've not been too impressed with the MIPS based netbooks, but I've got high hopes for these netbooks.
If they're any good, then I also hope they release net tops too with HD support. I'd love to get a really quiet low wattage box to run XBMC and MythTV to play back all my media and record TV, at the moment I've been looking at the Revo and a new box which Foxconn have released which seems similar to the Revo but with an Atom 330 CPU, albeit about the same price as the Atom 230 Revo at trade price (thats without factoring in memory and a hard drive).
