    I'd be willing to bet that Via isn't going to sell these boards to the average user, but to OEMs who will integrate them into handheld PCs like the one in the first video.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    Very interesting, i would certainly be able to do some fun stuff with a board that small and so little power usage.

    i agree i believe that this could be a very useful board i mean just think a entire computer that can fit in an altoids can!

    It would be a bit bigger than that, but still pretty darn small.

    It would be great to see the article where it says they're releasing them for sale to the GP.

    In the first video, the VIA rep says that, in Q1 next year, "you can buy these packages and build your own."

    And they'll fit in an Altoids tin. They're 7.5cm x 4.5 cm, and the Altoids tin is about 8.9cm x 5.7cm. Cooling might be an issue with the lid closed.

    I want.

    If just enough is really good, then too much ought to be perfect.

    ya i figured that much mabey you could cut vent holes in the lid and mount the fan on that? lol this would make a killer gaming pc if it had better specs i mean just think everyone shows up to a lan party with a huge monstrous pc and you show up with an Altoids can lol that would truly be funny!
