@Jon: If you keep waiting for new PCHs you are probably not going to be seeing much in at least the next year... A-110 has basically every requested feature people have wanted (SATA, DTS, Optical, USB Master/Slave, etc) and there really isn't all that much to be desired hardware side.
My upgrade from my A-100 will be to Boxee on a used/refurb Mac Mini/linux htpc when it matures enough to be a somewhat stable media player. Boxee has a bunch of problems it needs to iron out but the development pace on Boxee is faster than basically every product on the market. I just haven't found it to be stable enough and there is no real universal remote capabilities to make it worth a full switch.
But yeah, don't expect anything more hardware-wise out of PCH, they just need to get their act together on the firmware side.
