Em-ITX gets thinner?

VIA have launched a new Em-ITX board which upgrades from the EITX 3000's VX800 chip to the VX855 and takes off one gigabit Ethernet port. The EITX 3001 is claimed to be "a slim-line Em-ITX form factor board" in the Press Release but there's no mention about that on the product specification page, nor any measurements to show a reduction in width, or any other measurement, over the only other Em-ITX board, the EITX 3000. They are both slim boards really, so the comment must have been just a general one about the Em-ITX form factor.

The EITX 3001 offers HD video support. Although HDMI output is supported, there's no HDMI port on the board so you must have to add in the EMIO-3110 board for that.

"The VIA EITX-3001 includes an onboard DC-to-DC converter that has both AT and ATX power modes, supporting a wide range of power input voltage from DC 7V to DC 36V, configurable through an onboard switch. An on board built-in 5-wire/4-wire USB Touch interface makes the EITX-3001 ideally suited for high-end interactive touch screen multimedia applications.

Dual I/O coastlines allow for a wealth of I/O ports including a HMDI port, VGA port, Gigabit Ethernet, dual COM ports, four USB ports, a USB device port, audio jacks and power and HDD activity LEDs. LVDS is supported through on board pin headers allowing for a range of multi-display options including CRT/LVDS, CRT/HDMI and LVDS/HDMI configurations.

The VIA EITX-3001 supports all 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems including the latest Windows Embedded Standard 7."
