ClonedinChina.com published a quick news story (their source is in Chinese) about a mini desktop, or nettop, that is using a combo not usually found in embedded devices - the C7-M and the VX700.
"This mini pc gets a very small size, only measuring 135X123X35mm, weighing 300g. It features a 1.6G VIA C7-M processor, VX700 chipset, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, VGA output port, 2 USB ports,WI-FI and Bluetooth module."
This is kind of like a VIA ARTiGO, but a different shape and a slightly different platform. Plus, by the size measurements, it sports a notebook HDD, so it's not a storage server. So actually, come to think of it it's nothing like an ARTiGO except that it's small and features VIA chips! It's more a like a basic but tiny desktop PC. I'm guessing it's not available outside of China.
VIA Technologies, Inc. designs and manufactures a slew of embedded products including ultra low votage CPUs, embedded motherboards and barebone systems. They also, of course, design the Mini-ITX, Nano-ITX, Pico-ITX and Em-ITX platforms that are widely used in the embedded market. This blog feed follows news and reviews on VIA embedded products, especially those available in Australia.

It's French, for Linux!
Linutop SARL is the French company behind the new Linutop 3 series of thin clients, or nettops if you prefer. For about $485 you get a 1GHz VIA C7 processor, up to 2GB of flash memory, gigabit Ethernet, six USB ports and support for DVI and D-sub display connections. Open Office, Firefox and Linutop's own version of Ubuntu Linux come preinstalled. - Techfresh, Geeky-gadgets.
