Acer’s NVIDIA Ion LE Powered AspireRevo nettop was recently spotted on Newegg for just $200. You may or may not be familiar with this nettop as it’s been around for a while minus the NVIDIA Ion LE graphics card.

This Ion LE card coupled with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and 160GB hard drive make for one of the most affordable ways to view 1080p video content. However, Gizmodo makes note that Adobe Flash isn’t completely optimized for the Ion LE, you may run into problems streaming flash video from sites such as Hulu and YouTube.

We’ve mentioned Hello Kitty a high number of times - such as the Parachie Paradise iPhone app, or the iPhone knckoff, and even the HK keyboard - but this time we’re talking about something different: a stylish and well designer Hello Kitty nettop.

The small laptop boasts 1GB of memory RAM, plus a SATA hard-drive with 160GB, plus a GMA950 graphics card, and lastly a normal Atom CPU. The objective of the Hello Kitty nettop isn’t being top-notch in terms of technology, the real reason for its production is basically the thousands of fans that love this strange cat cartoon character.

AMD is ready to make a move in the nettop and all-in-one PC business. The company already has a platform ready to compete against Intel’s Atom platform. The Neo has so far remained pretty quiet but AMD is apparently going to use it in future nettops and all-in-one PCs. Here’s what Bob Grim, AMD’s director of client marketing said:

We’ve known all along that this type of technology would really work well in multiple platforms and multiple types of form factors. These CPUs perform better than the Atom processor, and the graphics are superior. These things… can play Blu-rays, they can play games.

AMD hasn’t revealed any details regarding any future products but we’re suspecting it’s only a matter of time until it does. What would you choose between Intel’s Atom and AMD’s Neo platform?

Intel is thinking about the future of its netbook/nettop platforms and the famous Atom line has a successor. Pine Trail is the new codename that we’ll have to get used to. The platform will use the Pineview processor which also incorporates the memory controller and the GPU. That translates into a lower power consumption which might result in an even more efficient netbook. The Pine Trail platform will only be available in the last quarter of the year so we have a long wait ahead.

Intel is looking for a new place to put it’s Atom in. Besides all the netbooks which carry it, Intel suggests a media phone which should use the Atom and replace current home phones. Essentially the concept phone would basically be a more powerful MID capable of doing more stuff than your regular home phone. The phone will most likely look like a touchscreen nettop running on Mobiln and making calls for you. When will we see a prototype?

Here’s what Intel’s Atom phone should feature:

Dimensions • 5.4 inch x 9.6 inch (137.3 mm x 243.7 mm)

Processor • Intel Atom processor Z5XX 533 MHz FSB

Chipset • Intel System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W

Supported operating systems • Moblin

Memory • 1 GB DDR2 533 MHz SODIMM

Storage • 8 GB Compact Flash• 1 SATA optional

Display/Video/Graphics • 8.9-inch resistant-touch LCD (16:9 aspect ratio LVDS)

Audio • HD audio, up to 4 audio streams

I/O connectivity • 2 SDIO/MMC serial interfaces • RS232 • 1 PCI Express port • 6 USB (5 external, 1 internal) • 2X RJ45 (LAN and PC) • 1 HDMI • 1 RJ22 • 3.0 mm audio jacks – mic input headset output • 2.0 mm phone headset jack • Internal speakers and mic

Modular options • Wi-Fi/Bluetooth • USB port (DECT FXO) • (Camera optional) • 1 mini PCIe slot

We were expecting this whole nettop movement. After Asus and HP it’s time for MSI to roll theirs. The MSI Wind Box is a small computer which can be attached to the back of any VESA mountable monitor. Inside the black box there are all recordings of in-flight communication there’s an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, three USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi and Windows XP. France will get it for $254.

Why not get a laptop instead of a nettop? Can anyone give me a smart answer to this question? And leave the price out of it! Wonder what’s the next nettop to be launched.
