Power, flexibility
Not really a Media Player, price

Myka ION
The first Nettop HTPC to be marketted as a straight Media Player. Interesting idea and one that may fit better in the upcoming iboum Nettop/HTPC section. The dual core Atom 330 CPU and Nvidia GeForce 9400 graphics are massively more powerful than any other Media Player, the connectivity options impressive, and the format support is 100%. But then that's because it is really a PC! As with any PC, you can access Netflix, Hulu, XMBC, Boxee et.al. The pay-off for all this power is that the price in line with other similarly specified Nettops.

There is some information on the Intel Atom CPU and Nvidia ION platform over on our in development Netbook section.

If all you want is to play video/audio on your TV then the Mkyka ION is overkill. It is more relevant to compare the ION to a 'high-end' machine like the Popcorn Hour C-200. When you consider that these are roughly the same price, the Myka is the far more powerful and flexible option.

Hum. Nettops as HTPCs in competition with Media Players. Quite exciting. Much more on that subject to come..
