Here we are several months after the official launch of Nvidia's Ion 2 platform and still no Ion 2 netbook in sight. We thought that was going to change with Acer's Aspire One 532G-22s, but according to French website blogee.net, Acer has gone and canceled the netbook, both overseas and in the U.S.
Other than the Nvida Ion 2 graphics, the 532G-22s had all the makings of a modern day netbook, including an Atom N450 processor clocked at 1.66Ghz, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 1.3MP webcam, three USB 2.0 ports, Wi-Fi, Windows 7 Home Premium, and other odds and ends. So what happened?
That part's less than clear, though the Google-translated site makes mention of technical problems and/or driver issues that, at the end of the day, prevented the netbook from offering enough of a performance punch over non-Ion 2 SKUs. Bummer.
