What Ever Happened to Microsoft's Solo2 Chip?

Posted by Cliff on from the more-vapourware dept.

flipper28 asks: "I remember reading about Microsoft's forthcoming Solo2 chip over a year ago. Does anyone know what happened to it? Did it end up in UltimateTV, Xbox, or did it take the route of Microsoft Bob?" I've honestly never heard of such a thing. Anyone have a clue as to whether the Solo2 has become the latest in Microsoft's line of vapourware?
