There ain't much to go on just yet, but one thing's for certain: MSI will be unveiling a trio of new machines at CES in just a few weeks. Over on the Wind Top side, it'll be introducing the all-new AP1920 all-in-one PC, which will measure in at 35mm thick and sport an 18.5-inch display, Atom D510 or D410 CPU and a power-sipping attitude. The nettop lovers will be thrilled to know that a new duo of mini PCs will also get unwrapped, as the Wind Box DC500 and DE220 step in with Intel's newest Pine Trail processors and a whole slew of companion components that we're still waiting to hear more on. Hey, we told you it was just a tease.
Wind Box ... Sure they Could come up with something better...

Slap a white Apple sticker from the Snow Leopard $29 upgrade on the top and it's perfect.
I need one of these kinds to stick in my car. Couple with a nice 7-9" LCD and we're all good to go.
As long as it does not cost more than 120~150 EUR it sounds ok for web and office.
While the processing performance is slightly higher and the power usage slightly lower than Atom 330, Atom D510 (Pine Trail) on-die graphics suck compared to ION/ION2 or even Core i3/i5 on-die graphics (souped-up version of D510 graphics).

We will have to wait for the next generation of Atom before the on-die graphics performance is good enough for the benchmark of 1080p video.
Put in Ion (2), an HDMI port, and Windows 7 in the Wind Box for under $400 and I'd get one immediately. It'd be a great HTPC setup.
