Apparently, the Acer Hornet is an Nvidia Ion-based Atom-powered small PC which can be mounted on displays. The most interesting thing: Acer wants to sell it with a Wiimote-like device for gaming and remote control.

Or that's what turkish site Donanim Haber says, posting some images of the computer, which can be mounted on the back of any VESA-compatible display.

According to the Inquirer, sources close to "one of the firms" have confirmed that it will launch at the beginning of April, with three to four models ranging from a mere $199 to $399. The Inquirer's source says it will be a "Full PC with a Wii-like size" with HDMI output. [Donanim Haber via The Inquirer]
