Is This The First Ion-Based Acer Nettop?

For some time Nvidia has been telling us that we’d be looking at an Ion based desktop sometime this Spring, but we hadn’t had any reason to believe this given that it has yet to show up in any consumer hardware. That is until recently, when some leaked slides displaying an Acer nettop, were released.
The slides tell us very little about the machine, but what we will know is that it’ll be based off of Intel’s Ion, have HDMI output, will have a wireless controller/mouse, and will supposedly be able to hang from the back of a LCD TV. As for substantial information goes, there wasn’t anything to be found.
Now, none of this has been confirmed by any sources, but there are plenty of convincing slides. So, if you want to take a gander at them and be the judge, check them out here.

Is this Nvidia's Ion or Intel's Ion? Because "...is that it’ll be based off of Intel’s Ion..." makes it look like it's Intel's. Typo?

Great, amazingly great. This is essentially a Wii that can emulate any game via an emulator, can out of the box hook up to a TV with HDMI and also doubles as a homework cruncher. Seriously, this machine is pretty darn awesome.
Edit: Except for consoles without an [public] emulator... like the Wii?

You don't look at your Wii much do you. It looks very much like a Wii. All it needs now is to be white!

The Wii looks like a paper back book that is the shape of a Wii and size. I look at it every day sitting under my T.V.
