PCWorld have just published an article that gives a nice overview of where the Nano is going. There’s a version ’3000′ due for Q3 which will be that same as the curent Nano’s but will use an optimised manufacturing process. Then, in Q4, VIA will have a dual-core version ready.
In adition, Richard Brown of VIA, says the there’s a new chipset in the works and that the C7 will still be used for the current netbook market. As we thought, the Nano is really going to be for low cost laptops rather than anything ultra mobile but there’s still a chance that a low-end Nano will allow OEMs to offer higher-end versions of UMPCs.
What we really want to know is, where’s that Mobile-ITX product? It’s due for Q2 2009!

YEA WHAT?? where´s teh first nano? why didnt HP use it in their 2140 if its available? would have been less hassle since its pin compatible, surely…

The 2140 will come with existing Nano.WHat the hell am I saying!!! Sorry.I’m thinking of the Dr Mobile Nano-based netbook.
Q3 and Q4 (I assume calendar quarters) is a long time away.

it’s been announced that it is not dual core. Just a more advanced manufactoring process. Read it at engadget.
