An afternoon of research seems to indicate that the DX10 is the only difference. I'm ordered and am looking forward to wiping XP and installing Linux & XBMC.

Result: a great UI and 1080p for a price tag under $200.

Hang on. So the ION LE and the Ion aren't the same chip set? I'm planning on using one of these to run XBMC but now I have to do some more research. I know XBMC under linux can use hardware acceleration on the ION but this is the first time I've seen the extra "LE" designation.

grrrr. More research...

Why can't they change this so that the database can be shared within a household? If spousal unit #1 spends hours tagging photos why should spousal unit #2 and all of the kidlets have to reproduce the same work? Photos, probably more so than any other media are shared within a family (or maybe they just take more time to organize than music).

no remote? this is sooooo close to being in my living room but I can't be expected to juggle a keyboard, a mouse, and a beer.
