    This has officially been confirmed and will be available next week.

    Broadcom's PCIe card will support 1080p playback! With GPU-accelerated Adobe Flash already in beta, this is excellent news.

    All the netbooks and ultraportables just got a new lease on life!
    Drivers will be available for all platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac).

    Logic Supply has it listed at $69.99 USD.

    I saw this too, I believe XBMC already has support for it on their latest SVN builds.
