Is it going to be able to play streaming content from iPlayer and the like? That's the thing that has been holding me back from purchasing, hoping that the dual core cpu would be able to handle that more fluidly...

Hazellhoff - although you can watch streaming video from iPlayer etc anything from BBC HD or HD Flash will not work well unless you use GPU acceleration (the whole point of buying an ION system). Adobe have already stated GPU acceleration is coming next year (press release was on Trusted Reviews a few months back). Otherwise as a solution today you would need an application which GPU accelerates the streaming video such as XBMC.

@Icey - It does seem months ago, but the press release was only on TR last month (albeit at the start of the month):

So, I fear we're still in for a few months wait for ION accelerated flash.

Typo spotted.

The N330 is the dual-core desktop Atom. N230 is single core only.
