Samsung NC20 VIA Nano Netbook is Official
The fact that the Samsung NC20 netbook is not based on the Intel Atom CPU was already leaked a month ago from a Russian site that reviewed the NC20. Today VIA announced officially that the new Samsung NC20 netbook is based on the Atom competitor VIA Nano CPU.
The NC20 pushes the size limits of netbooks to a 12.1 inch screen with 1280x800px resolution.
Other features of the NC20 include 1.3+GHz VIA Nano processor with the highly-integrated VIA VX800 system media processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, 6.5h battery life, card reader, 3 USB ports and 1.3MP camera.

NVIDIA ION 2 supports VIA Nano CPU
NVIDIA apparently has more plans with the ION platform than just supporting Intel Atom CPUs. Digitimes reports that NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang confirmed that NVIDIA will release ION 2 supporting the VIA Nano CPU later in 2009.
The announcements around the NVIDIA ION platform increase, but the real products are not here yet. Apparently in June we will see the first ION based Nettop and mini-notebooks priced at $299.

Intel Atom versus VIA Nano Platform
Tweaktown published a comparison of the Intel Atom and the Via Nano platform.
Quote from the review: "While we concentrate on this sector, the focus is now moving towards the lower end of the spectrum. VIA has really cornered this market in the past when it came to ultra compact PCs; EPIA has been VIA’s biggest success and with the evolution of the VIA processors, each generation has gotten just that little bit more capable. Now Intel has seen just how popular this is, we finally have some competition in this sector.

VIA Nano L2100 versus Intel Atom 230
Hothardware compares two new contenders in the low power portable CPU arena. Via Nano takes on the Intel Atom CPU in this comparison.
Quote: "VIA caused quite a stir a few months ago when the company first revealed initial details regarding their low-power Nano processor. At the time, the product was referred to by its internal codename of Isaiah and the president of the design center that was tasked with making the processor was decidedly outspoken, which made for some exciting reporting. When news of the Isaiah core first broke, we hopped on the line with Glenn Henry, VIA's Centaur design center president, and got many questions answered regarding the processor's architecture, features, expected performance, and the company's plans for the CPU. We also covered the official announcement of the VIA Nano processor and detailed the exact models that would be available at launch. One thing we hadn't been able to do, however, was a direct performance comparison of the VIA Nano processor versus Intel's recently released Atom, which is target at the same market segment.
