VIA P720 Pico-ITX Board

Nvidia Ion has recently attracted all the attention of the public, and meanwhile VIA has been working on this 1080p-compatible thing for quite some time. Actually, we heard earlier this year that the VIA EPIA-P710 Pico-ITXe board is capable of playing 1080p video clips, but now we have video proof that the successor of that board really can. According to VIA, this motherboard is the first of their products that has a VX855 media processor on board, which is obviously the “magic bubbles”, allowing you to watch high-resolution graphics. Watch the demo video below and good luck resisting the urge to pack a portable HTPC over the weekend.
