The price came out to $455.89

That is only $50 higher than most of the competition from Acer and Asus yet it can playback 1080p video content without issues. I ordered one with 16GB SSD (everything else stayed the same including the slipcase) all for $439. I don't see how that is bad considering that Sony will be charging $499 for their generic N280-GMA 950 netbook with a 3-cell battery, Samsung is charging $450 for their N270-GMA 950 netbook since it comes with a "subwoofer," Lenovo is charging $500 for their 12" N270-GMA 950 option, and Dell charges almost $450 for their Mini 10 with an Atom Z530 and the ever so crappy GMA 500. $439-$460 really isn't all that bad for what the HP mini does (ie full playback of 1080p videos without issues).]]>Jul 8th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/
Your configuration is missing the "Broadcom(R) Crystal HD Enhanced Video accelerator with ArcSoft TotalMedia(TM) Theatre" option, so i guess it cant play HD. lol.

Typical slow Adobe development means that Flash supporting the Broadcom chip is still far off (H1/2010), but at least it's coming...
Also, if Flash is going to support this, I guess we'll see that chip in many other netbooks, thus making it a viable target for other video codec/media players support.]]>Jul 8th 2009 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/Jul 8th 2009 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/Jul 8th 2009 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/Jul 8th 2009 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/Dell has been using this card in their Studio Hybrid line for those that ordered the Blu Ray drive option since they launched it.

The problem for the people writing the player software is that they didnt have enough need to rewrite for this. Now with the card going into other mainstream computers (and possibly even more in the future) there is more likelyhood for the players to be written for it.

I know that ArcSoft's media player might be crap but it is only a matter of time until other applications start supporting Broadcom's chip. My Gateway netbook can playback 720p content but HP's, with the Broadcom chip, can playback 1080p content. I think that is pretty impressive. Companies need to now start supporting it such as Apple (iTunes), Microsoft (WMP), the development team behind VLC, Nero, and a few others. Either way, I don't think that $439 is too much for a netbook with a Broadcom chip, N280 Atom processor, 1336X768 display, six-cell battery, slipcase, and warranty. A little more than I wanted to spend but it isn't like other companies who offer up the generic N270/GMA 950 option for $500 (I am looking at you Lenovo).]]>Jul 8th 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/hp-mini-110-goes-pink-and-white-adds-broadcoms-hd-video-accele/

It's not the stone age, anymore. Write a decent codec that uses your card and maybe people will think about using it. Also, don't call it "TotalMedia Theatre".

It is only a matter of time before software companies begin taking advantage of the hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if Nero is even working on a solution for their ShowTime software.
