Could be foulplay, could be a shitty implementation of the Atom on a different device. Either way, they BOTH show a stutter every now and then so are not recommended for HD video playback.
Agreed. We need to know what codecs were used, what processes were running in the background, etc in ANY comparison. And of note, jkkmobile was running WMP 10 and not 11 like VIA's demonstration.
I agree .. but still maybe they're good for standard definition movies? At least the Nano should be able to do those without any dropped or frozen frames.
That video is flawed. The EEE PC 1000h in Super Performance Mode runs the video fluidly even in FULL screen mode. Don't trust that guy, I just tested it myself on my EEE PC 1000h
What would you want 1080p on a 10 inch screen that doesn't have that resolution in the first place? Ok, video output, but seriously, those small laptops aren't meant for HD stuff.

I agree, the stuff I had read said that in real tests, both could do 720p playback but 1080 was pretty much a choppy mess.
