Via's gonna launch this & that...

Why can't I yet buy even a standalone Via Nano processor!!

It's about time Via started delivering!

Would fit nicely in my car....

The graphics resolution quoted - is the highest LVDS and RSDS resolution supported with the bandwidth offered by the VX855 and so can support both 16:9 1080p and the 16:10 1920 x 1200.

The design aint great - but its perfect for Chinese whitebox builders. If anyone like HP adopts VX855 they will likely redesign the board - more USB, better webcam amongst other now standard mainstream netbook features.

Why complain - this is a wonderful foundation for a watts effective, cost effective platform.

While 1920x1440 is 4:3 The size of it can also cover things like 1920x1080 and 1900x1200 since those have a shorter vertical resolution.
It is all a matter of how well the chip and drivers handle it.

1366x768 is almost 16:0, but 1920x1440 is an unheard of 4:3. Surely they mean 1920x1200 or at least 1920x1080 as there are no mainstream monitors that support this new 4:3 res

The problem with VIA is that they produce wonderful hardware and ugly drivers.
Their Windows support is somewhat working, but on the open source side it's nightmare.
For the low cost/embedded market this can't work.
On the other side, where is the Digital Video/Audio outputs ?

Then what's the point????

If you look at VIA, they make disperate products that seem to struggle for design wins. They currently have the best low end processor (Nano), The best mini motherboards, and multiple other weird and wonderful bits and pieces.

Via should make a decent reference netbook, use the NANO and the ION, and shove in 4GB ram as standard.

Via, give us what we want, not these off beat one off's!
