According to Thomas Ricker, things are hotting up at NVIDIA thanks to their ION platform, a netbook and nettop motherboard that will serve 1080p video in a package that fits on the palm of your hand. The first new model should be the Acer Hornet, a Wii-like gaming machine with an odd 3D remote.

Anandtech has a full description of the new platform but, in short, it’s a tiny, self-contained computer with great graphics capabilities.
