NVIDIA's Ion (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Ion/) technology may be hogging the limelight when it comes to netbook graphics, but Broadcom's no stranger to the space. After giving Acer's Aspire One HD playback capabilities (http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acer-aspire-one-gets-broadcom-injection-morphs-into-netbook-hd/) that it could only dream of just months prior, the company's newly announced Crystal HD platform could provide Intel's Atom N450 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/asus-eee-pc-1005pe-review/) with the multimedia boost it badly needs. The nitty-gritty details are still being withheld, but we're told that "top-tier OEMs including Asus, Dell and Samsung" will be slapping this into their upcoming N450-based netbooks. If you're curious as to why you should care, the BCM70015 promises "near flawless" HD video playback, including support for Flash Player 10.1 and Blu-ray flicks. We're told to expect it to start popping up in forthcoming machines throughout 2010, and if you're looking to soak up anything else in the meanwhile, a promotional video awaits you after the break.Continue reading Broadcom's Crystal HD tech to liven up HD capabilities of N450-based netbooks (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/broadcoms-next-crystal-hd-tech-to-liven-up-hd-capabilities-of-n/)
