DailyTech story from December 2008:

It's about $50 more than the previous EEE Box B202 w/XP. The differences are it has HDMI out instead of DVI, and ATI 3450 w/256MB ram instead of an Intel GMA 950. Also a remote is included.
I've been using the original EEE Box since last summer and its performed as expected for netbook parts: near silent, low power draw, and good for most everyday tasks . However, it couldn't handle HD streaming like Hulu or ABC's site. The newer B206 should do much better but I still wonder if there could be playback problems with various formats as a result of the slow CPU.
The next model to be released is B208, with a dual core Atom 330, ATI HD 4530, and Vista. Sounds expensive, though.
