Engadget has a lot of shots of it but not a lot of info. What we do know is that it has Tegra 2 powering the graphics which is a good thing. That will get you 1080p output to your TV. It’s the same chip in the new Boxee box. It’s also extremely slim which would be good to hide in your equipment rack. These devices are made just to pull content from either a central server or computer in your house. There are already a lot of media streamers on the market but I’m guessing this market will really expand this year.

The Ion 2 chip will take things a bit farther. The chip should support HDMI out, 1080p Blu-ray and Flash playback, Windows 7 Home Premium, and mainstream gaming out of the box. It’s also going to lower power consumption to increase battery life in netbooks.

I’m more interested in computers like the Asus Eee Box and the Acer Aspire Revo. Their small footprint and HDMI out make for great computers hooked up to your HDTV. With Ion 2 those computers will get enough power to run any media center software you can throw at it and for a low price.
