Article 1 – Digitimes reports that HP ordered 500,000 VIA C7′s and also placed an order for Nano CPUs.
Article 2 – Mobile-ITX is on target for Q4 2008 or Q1 2009.
I’m afraid the source trace ends at Digitimes for this story and there’s really not much detail here. The Nano order could be for Notebook PCs or it could be for a new HP2133. It’s anyone’s guess. As for the Mobile-ITX news, it’s just another target date. Sit-back and keep waiting with your fingers crossed!

DigiTimes mentioned Atom CPUs for new 10 inch netbooks from HP:

Thats a subscriber page I think.
I think the chances are high that it will be a mobile device.

I think it’s because HP tries to launch 2 models, Netbook or Notebook, with Atom and Nano.

I would love to see the nano in in the HP machine, but it really does need a better integrated chipset.
nano + nvidia = winner

So stupid that HP still uses the VIA C7! Last night was the hottest day this summer (32 degree), I simply could not use my OQO (C7 inside) – way too hot!
