Next-gen NVIDIA ION Acer and ASUS netbooks delayed


The wait to see next-generation Nvidia ION graphics hit netbooks already feels like a long while. NVIDIA's next generation Ion platform was announced back in early March and according to Engadget, it looks like the wait will have to go on a little while longer.

Acer and Asus have both confirmed that their first notebooks with next-generation ION graphics won’t be ready to ship in the US until late May or possibly early June.

The 12" ASUS Eee PC 1201PN will ship first in Late May, in Europe and Asia, then after that in June in the US. The 10-inch Acer Aspire One 532G, announced back in February and was scheduled for a March release has been delayed until early June, when Computex starts.

We just have a feeling there will be some more joining the Ion 2 netbook brigade in the interim, but it's looking like we'll just have to kick off the summer with another Ion showdown.
