While the certification is not 100 percent necessary, it offers both consumers and manufacturers a sort of "piece of mind."

I really, really hope you meant "peace of mind."

piece or peace of mind?

Sweet. I might make one of these the center of my HTPC if performance is good enough. I hope they enable PCIe, increase the number of SATA ports and have enough other resources for more add in cards.

I read the ion platform had 5x the graphic power of the original Atom N270 & Intel GMA chipset.
I didn't know there had been benchmarks made of the N280/GN40 already, and I would love to see them.

The claim by Nvidia is probably based on some sort of internal numbers. Hopefully we will have some sort of review/comparison up soon.

I hope they will include HDMI/DVI out along with an optical audio out conector. This way it would be a must have addition for my living-room + the small form factor. I could replace the MacBook used for this job and enjoy real audio 😛

I hope the release a couple version of the motherboard for us builders. I have some ideas that would really benefit from the Ion platform.

The nvidia reference box that tomshardware showed us recently had dvi and I think also optical audio out ... so don't worry about those features
