It doesn't have the Ion graphics, but if it could do xbmc at 720p I'd be sold.

That uses the GMA500 which is a PowerVR SGX 535 GPU, it has a GPU video decoding element like ATI/Nvidia but without support in the linux drivers & XBMC its not much use as your stuck with the Atom CPU.

Found his blog and its in german but google translate does a decent job he says it works well enough with XBMC Live though the audio over HDMI requires some hack and I think he mentions that it has an annoying fan ?

I thought these systems were fanless I really hope its just a bad translation & there isn't such a fan in these.

xbmc is not an operating system so you can't "boot" into it.

XBMCLive is a minimal ubuntu moblin distro with XBMC for Linux, You can install it on to the netbook and "boot" into this distro and then XBMC will autoload and present.

many thanks for the reply,

Yes sorry this is what I meant,

that's good to know

EDIT: do you know if I can use linpus linux lite which I know can boot in 15 seconds, linpus also have another version of their os which can boot in 6 seconds, from there can I load xbmc even quicker?

Dual core Atom 330 edition could be interesting

Its a computer you can put any operating system you want, as long as it supports Nvidia chipsets and Intel CPUs.
