I'd bet that the netbook makers have been pressuring Intel to bring out a chipset for the Atom that can do HD playback.
Digitimes reports that Intel will be launching the Atom N280 and the GN40 chipset earlier than previously thought - in the middle of this month.
The Atom N280 is a minor tweak of the N270 - it runs at 1.66GHz (instead of 1.6GHz) and has a 667MHz FSB (instead of 533).
The GN40 chipset has a better GPU than the 945GC and can reportedly play 720p video with an Atom.
