Nvidia to launch ION 2 at the end of year, 2009

ASUS to launch ion-based netbooks and nettops
ASUS is testing several netbooks and nettops based on the new Ion-technology. ASUS is expecting to launch Ion-based Eee Box B1006 in the 3rd quater of 2009, but there is no news on release date about the Ion-based netbooks.
