Is there a review of the Ion coming?

I was hoping for a full review of the Ion in the Review sub-forum. I'm strongly considering this as my next carPC but would appreciate a full review on the this platform and real world performance. Anyone know if someone is working on one?

Nice board. I think the company i work for is going to be using one of these boards for a project. I should be getting some to play with by the end of july. I think they are going to be the 19v dc models though :(

I just want to see how well they play back HD Video, grab a slim line blueray player make a HDCP free blue ray player :)

I know mini-itx.com has a review of the ion but offhand I don't know about any carpc porojects with the ion. I'm using a Zotac board in my build, but not the ion.

@jpinkerton
I believe I've read 3 or 4 reviews about the Zotac Ion board and they all focus on the HTPC potential of the board. I'm hoping an mp3Car forum member does his/her own review so we have that mp3car slant on the review (ie, multitasking with music & GPS, internet, satellite radio, boot times, hibernation, etc).

I'm sure one is coming because this board has received a lot of attention on this forum and tech news. I'm just being impatient because I want to replace my MII10000 fast.

I have the Ion platform and I would be glad to give you guys the rundown on it. I will post some details shortly. I will be comparing it to the Intel D201gly board that was in my last build.

In the Canyon. The Scion is the wife's ride now so I left her PC untouched.

Sounds great. I assume you'll post your review in the "Review" sub-forum? I want to know so I can keep a look out for it.
