At the end of 2008, the OSNews team made a short list of the tech-related things they would like to see in 2009. On my list was the hope that we'd see more competition in the netbook market, which is now dominated by Intel's Atom platform, resulting in manufacturers all releasing essentially the same machine, but with a different badge and case colour. Where are Intel's competitors? We know AMD is on its way, we know that the Chinese are producing some noteworthy chips, and that the ARM chip is jumping up and down screaming for attention - but where is Via's Nano platform? Shouldn't it be here already?

No. VIA is real pioneer here. I work with kiosk systems since 2003/2004, and I remember very well VIA introducing mini-itx and Intel dismissing the effort, while requiring nearly a power plant generator for their PIVs :-) Interesting how Intel got back to be the real number one ...

Weee - only 8 months after the ASUS EEE PC was announced (7 months after shipping).
