The link to the info on it is HERE
Think about it:
The motherboard has sound, LAN, and video integrated so it will be incredibly cheap. The reference mobo's total size is ~8.5"x7.5", so it's incredibly compact. A C3 cpu, which is what anyone would probably put in one of these, can be run with a passive heatsink, and the PSU recommended is a fanless 50w unit, so it'll be incredibly quiet.
Hell, you could boot this off a network, and it'd be TOTALLY silent! This thing won't have alot of performance, but I it would make a cheap web surfer/word processor.
I, for one, am more excited by it's possibility for novel purposes. What's that? Putting an ITX computer in a tiny/unusual case! Can you say "NES Case" or "4 full computer's in 1 full size case?
The only problem is waiting until mobo manufacturer's actually make some ITX mobos...
