1.it's ION2
2.there are more design wins,eg asus reported a whole line up last week
3.this is acer first netbook with ion or ion2,asus,hp,lenovo,samsung,point of view all have ion powered netbooks and I expect most to offer ion2 units as well as intel's igp still is dreadful
O...K....first, it would have been really good to mention that this is ION TWO (I had to find other competent articles to verify this). One gets the strong impression that the author may not even know the difference.
Second, the really interesting part is that this model has discreet and integrated graphics, and it claims it will only use tha former when necessary, to conserve battery life.
The entire premise of this short write-up: "first netbook with ION!" is not only incorrect, it misses the interesting part.

The Acer Revo, netbox, which is basically a netbook without a screen and battery, has been running on an Ion chipset for months.
