The Atom has also been used in Google TV's, either the Logitech boxes, or the Sony boxes and TV's.

I'm really not sure how much traction Intel has in either of these markets, they are used to much higher margins on their chips. I guess they need to put the Atom's somewhere as every one seems to have ceded the netbook space to tablets, and retreated to the high cost ultrabook space.
