DVB-T possibly?
Did you guys actually READ the article? The company may be currently toiling in obscurity, but its technical staff are renowned in the microprocessor world. As far as their credentials go, they are very proven.

"PA Semi secured a large amount of venture funding due in part to the stellar technical reputation of its staff. Former Digital alumni include VP of architecture Peter Bannon - aka Mr. Tanglewood - Leo Joseph, the COO and Jim Keller, the VP of engineering. Several of these engineers did much of the key work behind DEC's Alpha chip, which for much of the 1990s was consistently the fastest microprocessor on the market. Apple and PA also shared some heritage: PA Semi's Wayne Meretsky was formerly the technical lead for Mac OS at Apple during the company's transition to PowerPC."
No kidding Semi. I was in Hong Kong and Japan for the majority of April, waiting for the N80 to arrive. Every single shop said they didn't have any information.
I thought those were stickers.
#2 - the preview mentions the shots were taking on a PC running a quad-SLI graphics card setup. That's four GeForce 7800 GTXs in a single PC.
This or the N80. Tough choice.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
