Um - did I misread? 

In VIA takes tiny mobo spec to second generation

Happy

"VIA's spec calls for a VGA port on the board, with HDMI delivered by the add-in card. What, no DisplayPort? HD sound is part of the spec too, with a trio of audio connectors for multi-channel output."

So it gets HDMI via an addon card - HDMI = DVI + audio, so we've got DVI covered.

"The board should provide two 3Gb/s SATA drives ports and a parallel ATA connector, plus Gigabit Ethernet and at least four USB 2.0 ports. The mobo should allow up to 2GB of DDR 2 memory to be installed."

Should allow up to 2GB, may allow more - this isn't a top limit, looks like a bottom limit to me - Must provide up to 2GB...

Sound like nice boards, let's hope they run decent fanless CPUS in there...
