Well I'm willing to believe that many customers bought Intel instead of VIA by the name alone, so the mere fact that Atom is available probably cut into Nano sales.
But anti-competitive practices? Doubtful.
In fact, I just saw that Samsung released a new tablet PC based on the Nano, the other day.
So almost a year ago the Nano hit the reviews to large acclaim..
But you still can't buy it! Anyone hear any news on it?
At which point we should start looking at the power usage of other components, like the chipset
*giggles at Intel combining the Atom's 4 Watt TDP with a 30+ Watt chipset*
The nano was a pretty typical launch for Via. Here's how they usually go:
1. Via introduces a really cool, intriguing product that has some very compelling features. For example, consider how thoroughly the nano outperforms the atom.
2. They "launch" the product and get a few samples out so that reviewers can write about it.
3. No one ever sees or hears about the product ever again and everyone forgets it ever existed.
I don't feel bad for Via, they've done this countless times. They launch products that they aren't actually able to provide.
Funnily enough, this is the exact opposite of what S3 (which VIA owns) does. They release decent products without telling anyone.
Umm name one decent product they have... Sure they may be stable, but not one of them has reasonable performance for anything but desktop - internet use.

Intel spokesman Joe Bogart said that, "We here at Intel have come to the conclusion that the conroe architecture just made us too much money and had the unfortunate side effect of garnering for us a near monopoly over the home desktop market. After discussion with some top stock holders, who were irate over their high profit margins, we've decided it would be best to significantly reduce our marketshare."
